Kick$

I will be updating my post with pics of my geriatric “kicks” shortly.

About 20 years ago I pretty badly injured my back, and while recovering I bought a pair of Velcro sneakers to wear - I couldn’t bend to tie shoes but could use a little grabber tool on the Velcro.

Pretty much anyone I knew figured out why I was wearing them, so I didn’t get any grief. But it was a sad day for me when I knew I was well enough I couldn’t wear those anymore, because they were the most comfortable sneakers I ever worn.

I look forward to the day I can wear Velcro sneakers again without shame. Being 83 is going to be AWESOME.

I think Yeezy's are the ugliest sneakers ever made but kids love them.

skechers slip ins are the closest thing to velcros

Is 83 the age Velcro becomes socially acceptable? I was kind of hoping it was 65.

Got a pair of Sketcher slip ons for Christmas that I am really loving. I think I will be rocking slip ons for the foreseeable future.

Pretty sure this closes the book on me ever signing a 4 or 5 star football recruits.

I can live with that.

Not sure what it is like in Syracuse but at a lot of places with Div 1 football programs head coaches are the continuous recipients of gifts. When they do spend their own money, the more expensive items are typically heavily discounted...It is good to be the king!

2 of my 3 daughters are in fashion, both graduated from Fashion Institute of Technology. One thing I know for sure, I do not know fashion, but power to everyone that does care about it. They definitely dress better than me.

I mean technically they are $170 sneakers that he overpaid for through a reseller because they’re “hyped” deadstock from 2017.

fran does have some style that is for sure, the fact it makes no sense to me makes me think it’s great for recruiting

I know everyone are not sneaker heads but the kids these days spend major doe on kicks. A millionaire spending a G is not that bad.

These young men and their shoe obsession. What have we turned into?

I like sneakers but not that much. I guess Im too old lol

Cars were the status symbol when I was in my 20s. What we’ve turned into is a country where 20 year olds struggle to pay their rent, so putting a lot of money into a car isn’t possible - footwear is the new status symbol.

Saying this without a hint of irony lol.

We're all posting on a message board about 18-22 year olds that play football.

Been wearing them for inside the house shoes for years.

Are Nike Go FlyEase acceptable to wear in public? Or are they equally socially unacceptable as Velcro sneakers?

Hahaha I had two pairs and loved them. I’m 52 so I figured I was mixing hip Nikes with old man convenience

I recently purchased a slip on/laceless pair of Adidas.
Life.
Changing.

Car interests have gotten strange too. When I was young, I wanted a Porsche 928. Now teenage boys want modified Hondas and Subarus.
