Love in Every Stitch

I'm really bad with intros, so please disregard the fact that this is my first official post and we'll just roll with it. You already know the who. The what is simple: My interests, thoughts and general opinions on love, life, culture, and fashion. The when is now, tomorrow, next week-- anytime I feel the creative juices flowing. The where is here. And the why... because I've a carnal craving for the bursts of creative ingenuity lost in high school. I'm making a conscience effort to stay interesting, relevant, and most important: passionate.

Alright! Let's proceed, shall we? If you know me, you're fully aware of my infatuation with shoes. I'd call it an obsession actually. And I don't have the best or rarest collection out there. No, not by a long shot. But I LOVE SHOES!!! I have a profound appreciation for the concept and origin behind each stitch, every single nook and cranny of the sneaker. So when I see a collection such like this, I'm speechless.. The rarity, quality, price, hype-- fuggedabout! It's all about the stories. I ran from the cops in these. I wore these joints when I met my girl. MJ died when I had these on. I rocked these to the RG when B Roy dropped 52. I waited eight hours for these in the freezing rain and I was the only dude in line! Materialistic? Maybe. But it's materialism in it's purest form. This is unconditional love.
