Walk In THEIR Shoes….
Nobody Flashes
I’m old enough to remember the days when Nike first starting charging $120 for kids’ tennis shoes. I was a single parent at the time, and the marketing was so good, that if your kid didn’t have a pair of Nike’s, he (or she) was doomed to forever be a nobody, and so, I always somehow managed to find the money.
In fact, marketing executives are so good now, our politicians probably have Nike working for them.
I myself wear very cheap tennis shoes from Wal-Mart. BUT….I might buy myself a pair of these.
Unless of course they charge over $500. What do you think? Would you buy a pair?
Or is it just all the usual hype?

About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.

Ha ha…I was kidding. I don’t pay over $10.00, that’s how cheap I am.

Joyanna, Your post got me curious so I Googled the Nike Mag shoes (which are not meant for recreational wear according to what I read; does that mean they can only be worn around the house?
). They’ve only been sold at auction [in 2011] “Online sales of the shoe ranged between US$2,300 and US$9,959.[4]” ~ no way are they in MY budget! 😉 Hope you have a great Sunday! ~ Mrs. O
