Tennis Shoes



Shoes, hmmmm, somebody mentioned something about shoes in a recent blog I read the other day.  But funnily enough, that day and before it, I had been thinking about doing my own blog on shoes too.

You see, I was thinking about tennis shoes, because I was wearing them and I hadn't worn them in a while.  I like to just look at them. Especially the purple adidas ones.  Don't get me wrong, the Nike's are cushy and when you are wearing them it is like sitting on a comfortable sofa.  But, I got tired of the faded pink color in the swoosh, as a couple pre-teens I know would say "that color is sooooo last year".

The adidas are just right.  If shoes could have a "match face" it would be these ones.  "What in the world does that mean????" you might think.  Well, the adidas are firm and strong.  The soles anchor you to the court so you can turn sharply, pivot around, jump, slide on volleys and you don't feel like you are going to lose balance, or do a foolish somersault fall like Andy Murray.  The purple color is striking and the stripes simple.  These shoes say, "Here I am, don't mess with me, I will return EVERYTHING...  It is fun just to wear them around the house in anticipation of the next tennis match or hit.  The color matches everything and they are comfortable.

Oh, and these shoes are not to be worn, Nike on the left, Adidas on the right...
