Taste is like a woman’s mind… Subject to change…
I guess its like a mans mind too but whatever. So I just put on my once coveted goldenrod dunks, and quickly found myself repulsed by them. Not literally but I couldn’t stand the sight of them. Why the change? Was it dunkmania? Becoming a father? The over-commodification of sneakers? The dep…er recession? Maybe all, except the dad part. Yes the memo went out, dunks are lame, but I often find myself illiterate when it comes to cultural memoranda. How did something so right go so wrong?
Maybe its just me?
They look aite on you.. sortof.. Kindof. Vans,chucks, supergas, aged lavers, beat 90′s, canvas re ups, no socks, no draws, no money, skinny chicks… pbr? Really? Wtf? The days of opulence and excess are gone. Seated on the bone of our ass it is clear to see that brand new is lame. Black is the new black.
