which one of you coli bruh bruhs bumped this thread for me? i just started a new job as a lab specialist and they issue us these wack ass SAS kicks to wear, but they'd allow us to buy our own lab shoes so long as they're white and leather.
i'm a self-professed shoe head, so when i got that news, ya boy went straight bill duke on that ass...
i went out and copped a pair of white on white lows at the local footaction. the brotha checking me out, chopped it up with me a little and asked me why was i buying them. i told him they were for work and dude was shocked when i told him we were allowed to wear them in a lab.
the next week, i came up in that piece smelling myself
cause i'm in the crispy whites, while the majority of my co-workers were wearing them nurse shoe looking boats. after two nights, it was like high school, four of my female co-workers came up to me and had something to say about me switching out my kicks. one young cutie had the nerve to ask me if i remembered the st. lunatics AF1's song....then she bust out singing "...stomping in my AF1's". i'm like, "do i remember? little mamma, i'm older then you."
she was fooled by my baby face.
not two weeks in,
ya boy was starting to second guess his purchase. i totally forgot how heavy AF1's were. after a twelve hour shift, them sh!ts start to feel like cement filled galoshes. i switched to some memory foam inserts, but that was only pleasant on the dogs when you initially slid into the shoes. i should have known better then buying these 30 plus year old shoes for work.
all in all....i got to wear what i wanted, the females flocked, and beyonce jr. let ya boy know she's a shoe head also, so
it was worth it.
*sorry for the long read*
