Nice story PS!
My first supes were actually Pro Mods, does that count?
It was like 1998/1999 and I was a skater. I mostly wore skateshoes like DC's, Etnies, Vans etc. Then I noticed I guy at school who had these nice black shoes with white stripes and a rubber nose. I fell in love immediately. I had never seen such shoes (well maybe in an Run DMC -clip a long time ago).
I asked the guy where he got them from. The answer was Amsterdam. So I took the train to Amsterdam and bought a pair of black and white Pro Models. Man o man, was I happy. They looked bloody awesome with a pair of baggy pants and I thought everybody was looking at my shoes
I have never felt more proud.
But then, Adidas decided to drop the Superstar (blacks and whites) in every store all over the country. Everybody was buying supes. Suddenly I didn't feel so special anymore. I did wear the Pro Mods untill they actually fell apart (a friend of mine bought a white pair shortly after I bought my pro mods and he still has them and wears them).
After that I bought 3 pairs of Supes and then nothing for a long time.
Then my last pair of supes was about to die and I needed to replace them. My love for the Superstar never went away do I began my search for a special pair and then I found SSDB. A couple of months later and I own 20 pairs.
