It'd been awhile (8-9 months) since I'd gotten a new pair of shoes. So, my friend decided, that since he was shopping for new sneaks for fall anyway, to get me a new pair of sneaks. The Hard part? picking out a pair. I hadn't really been keeping up with new styles I liked or anything, so I did what your average guy does. Just go into the store and browse the shelves. I ended up with a couple of options, Nike Shox NZ (White/Royal Blue/Black, all leather), and these. Ultimately, after trying these on, I picked them. More for looks than how they felt, they feel pretty normal, comfortable and soft on the inside, light though, which is nice. Though, as irony would have it, my friend, ended up picking the Shox NZ I wanted after I got these.
