Converse Memories
Ever wonder where your memories go when they aren’t present in your brain? Tough question, huh? We’ll some old memories were instantly awakened and right in my face this past week when my new pair of Chuck Taylor Converse High Top Tennis Shoes arrived from Rick Fairless!
(BTW, thanks Rick!)
I was like a kid at Christmas when i opened the box, slipped those puppies on and proceeded to lace them up! Nothing could have prepared me for the “memory lane” walk i went down that night. Memories of my most favorite pair of Red Converse High Tops (circa 70’s) that were held together with Duck Tape because hours and hours of skateboarding had proceeded to tear off the front toe. Or the time a friend and I got caught under the window of a certain girls bedroom and we had to book cause her old man arrived and chased us off….and me minus one shoe because i’d not laced them up tight enough. Never did get that other lost shoe back!
Granted, i’m not about to do those types of stunts now, but i could see myself really enjoying them as i slipped the newest Chuck Taylor inspired Converses’ on and headed out on the chopper for a nice evening ride. Yep, even got some comments of “cool shoes, man!”….from the local skateboarders. You too can have some of these by either visiting Rick’s Storefront or going to Converse’s site. There are alot of styles now available and you can even make your own unique styled shoe. Maybe you’ll stur up your own memories! Now where is that old board of mine?!
