It
might sound quite incredible but it's a fact that I have never in my
life owned or worn a pair of sports shoes, trainers or anything of the
sort. I don't have many obsessions, but one of them is my crazy love for
shoes: pretty, elegant, unique in colour and design, and with high
heels. I go everywhere and do everything wearing high heels, even my
rain boots have got high heels! Just as well I can even run with 3-4
inches heels on!
For the very first time, about 3 or 4 years ago, I was suddenly very tempted to buy myself a pair of trainers. Might easily have even ended up buying more than one pair, as I discovered some real unusual ones in Multibrand shops. They were all mainly sports shoes, but the newest novelty then was that they carried a whole range of all sorts of vintage or period prints for that autumn-winter season, like this one here  inspired by gangsters in old films and available in several colours.Plentiful
were other designs too, in themes of rock, movies of the 50's,
aesthetic Pulp fiction, evergreen singers, Californian skaters, Sherlock
Holmes, etc. Homage to certain cult in the U.S. by the firm 'Circa'
which was opening up their market in fashions of street wear. This one I
liked belonged to their range called 'Select'. The only thing I didn't like very much was the price. The one in the photo was €105. I knew then I would most likely never actually wear them to go anywhere either. But owning a pair appealed to me, just in case some day might I need to walk across some sand dunes or snake pits or something ... What did I do eventually with those shoes? I gave them away that's what!! Without having worn them more than the first 5 minutes when I got them home, to walk around the house on the carpeted floor! |
