new shoes

I just got some new basketball shoes last week, and played with them this morning. They're the "And 1 Madness Mid", in black and silver. Look to the left and drool. Actually, they were pretty cheap, especially since "big kids" sizes run about $20 less than the men's (for the exact same shoes!). I've never really understood it, but I've always taken full advantage. I thought it was a justified purchase. The treads on my old pair are all flat and there are really truly holes in the lining. I didn't want to injure myself wearing ratty old shoes. That's what I told myself, anyway.
