"When it comes to basketball shoes, there are two kinds of people: those who line up at sunrise for a chance to rush a storefront, squeeze by a bouncer named Big Twoine and grab the first pair of Pigeon Dunks to go on sale; and those who walk by wondering what all the fuss is about. Those who appreciate why their favorite uncle still has a pair of Clydes stashed upstairs, and those who think all the man's got is a smelly closet. Those who thought Nelly didn't go to far enough when he said he needed two pairs of white on white Air Force I's to go stompin', and those who thought maybe he was rapping about the president's ride.
Those who get it, and those who don't.
If you don't, if you haven't experienced how sneaker culture can dose your brain , seize our heart and command more of your time and money than Xbox, fantasy football or golf, here's all you need to know: slipping on superior sneaks zaps you with the same sensation you get from the opeing bars of a great song: shock, but inevitability, too. Whether "Satisfaction" or "Bootylicious," you know an instant classic when you hear one. Same thing with the right shoes: same thing squared with Air Jordans, which offer the chance to tap into basketball's greatest force on and off the court. They feel like they should have been on your feet forever. They make you want to cut and spin and flirt. They make you want to soar."

The little piece above to some extent describes me. I enjoy basically anything to do with shoes whether it is talking about it or trying to explain to someone who doesn't understand. Simple and Laid back. There is not too much I wouldn't do but would be satisfied doing nothing.One simple rule: What goes on in the club stays in the club...
