Hi everyone,
My name is Fred I'm 22 y/o and I live in Bundaberg, QLD, Australia.
When I was younger I always thought adidas shoes were cool but because of where I live (no local retail shops here stock superstars) and financial hardships I could never really own them.
Now that I earn my own money and because of the wonders of the internet, I've finally been able to own a pair of my own superstars.
I bought my first pair on ebay from a seller called Street Moda in May '08. I tend to prefer minimalist style and I'm a little nervous to wear shoes with too much flair/colour so I opted for the Superstar II White/Navy (034925).
For a good amount of time I was too afraid to wear them but when my dodgy old diesel's (yuck, I know) finally bit the bullet I started wearing the superstars to work.
Unfortunately, because of my carelessness, these shoes were stolen from my front door. It's my own fault really given the neighborhood I live in but I immediately replaced them with a White/Black pair (034859) and I've been rocking them ever since.
Recently, I purchased a pair of supe's from my friend who bought them on ebay. He didn't want them because of a poor fit so I nabbed them for 50 dollars. Since I have been lurking these forums I have since discovered that he sold me a pair of fakes - they are really hilarious so if anyone wants to see them, let me know. To add a touch of irony, I work as a Quality Assurance officer ... *doh*.
Anyway thanks for enduring this wall of text, I will probably continue lurking for a while and just admire the collections of others.
Thanks guys.
