Damn Straight I Got 'em
" . . . Any sneaker conglomerate will tell you they don't make them like they used to. This is fact. Don't be fooled, even re-issued models are made differently now, with mass produced, inferior leather compared to their originally issued counterparts

Behold: the Nike Oregon Waffles. Sure, they're re-issues, but these are the real thing. I found out less than a week ago they had been re-issued, and yesterday I got 'em.
Note to fellow purists: the re-issues come "weathered," with yellowing on the foam insole and laces that look like they've been peed on. A little sneaker shampoo and a new pair of strings do the trick. Good as . . . well, new.

Yeah my shoes are cool . . . oh and yeah those are just some of my degrees hanging on the wall too . . . Dr. Schol's thinks he's a doctor, but I'm the real deal.
Actually, only one of those is mine-- Baccalaureate in English-- the other two are my wife's, Baccalureate in History, Associate in Arts, Associate in Applied Sciences. We are not doctors. We just like to play doctor.
