I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED SHOES. SKATEBOARDING AND THE SHOES WE WORE IN THE LATE 80', 90'S AND EARLY 2000'S SOLIDIFIED THAT LOVE FOR ME. THERE WERE TIMES AFTER A SKATE SESSION WHERE I WOULD JUST SIT AND STUDY MY SHOES. ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR WHAT TRICKS ARE STARTING TO MAKE WHAT WEAR AND WHERE. I AM OF THE NOTION THAT "ANY OBJECT USED AND MAINTAINED, WILL BEGIN TO EXHIBIT THE TRAITS AND CHARACTERISTICS INDICATIVE OF IT'S OWNERS HABITS." WHILE I BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE FOR ANY OBJECT, THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR FOOTWEAR.
SHOES ARE MORE THAN JUST FUNCTION. THE FUNCTION IS THE FASHION. THEY TIE THE OUTFIT TOGETHER. THEY DEFINE A TRADE OR SKILL SOMEONE MAY HAVE WITHOUT THEM EVEN HAVING TO SAY A WORD. SHOES WILL REVEAL AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DIG INTO ABOUT THE PERSON WEARING THEM.
