How long have you ever wanted something?

Me... 12 years and counting.

For what you may ask.... Black Adidas Basketball Shoes With White Stripes.


Sure, these were shoes that were cool when I was in High School... all of the girls basketball players had them... and I wanted them. Trisha had a pair... oh wait maybe two or three pairs of them. Angie had a pair, Julie, Gina, Mickey all of them. They all had these shoes.


I wore Trisha's shoes as her mom tends to reminds me... just cuz I didn't have my own. Now mind you Trisha had bigger feet than me so I was sporting a size or two too big!! I asked for them for my birthday... never got them... for Christmas... never got them... anytime I could possibly get a present... never got them.


I went off to college and started to purchase my own things. I thought back to those shoes that I wanted... they didn't have them in the stores so I got a different pair of Adidas. I thought that would take away the need for those shoes. It did for a bit...


Now it's about 12 years later and these are the only dang shoes I want! I'm even searching ebay, craigslist, everywhere. I've asked in stores, I've checked online. Why do I want these dang shoes sooooo bad? I don't know... I just do.


Now sure, they have black Adidas shoes with the white stripe... but they are not the same. These were basketball shoes with grey insides. They did not have a shell toe. Trust me. I recall these shoes. The ones in the stores are not them.


If anyone finds a pair of Men's size 8.5 black shoe with white stripe and grey insides Adidas, take a picture of them... email them to me... I tell you if they are them or not. If they are them I won't care what they cost... I'll buy them. I need these shoes.
