[Manhattan]

Hello from New York,

I don't know what it is about these shoes, but something about them struck me the other day when I was with my friend at an Athletes Foot. I tried the shoe on and it didn't even properly fit since I have a wide foot. I went up a size, and then it became slightly too long. Determined to make the shoes work, I went online and purchased the half-size in between as a compromise in hopes of breaking into the proper width. Anyway, I can't wait until they arrive! I got the Superstar 80s: From The Adidas Website

I feel like they reflect a lot about New York with the Run-DMC connection and will never really go out of style. I hear they're very durable and (hopefully for me) comfortable so they could be the best shoe investment I've made.

The odd thing is that I don't think I have ever been this excited about a shoe before. I don't know what it is about these things, but the style is infective I guess.

Anyway, very cool forum here. Hope to learn a lot about these shoes.

I'll try to keep that search policy in mind, though it may not always be obvious to me what an obvious question may be.

Perhaps one of these Mi Adidas I designed?

I had a funny moment when I called up the online store to ask them a question and I pronounced "Mi" like how it is in Spanish (pronounced "Me") and the lady on the other end corrected me and said it was pronounced like "My". Why don't they just call it "My Adidas" then, like the song?
