Alright, let’s talk about them Jordan 10 Space Jam shoes, you know, the ones the young folks are always yappin’ about. I don’t know much about these fancy sneakers, but I hear they’re a big deal, like them Elvis fella was back in my day.
First off, what in the tarnation is a “Space Jam” anyway? Sounds like somethin’ you’d put on your toast, not a shoe name. But these kids, they go crazy for it. I reckon it’s got somethin’ to do with that basketball fella, Michael Jordan. Heard he was a real good player, jumpin’ and runnin’ all over the place. My old man used to say, “Work hard, don’t be jumpin’ around like a fool.” But hey, times change, I guess.
Now, these Jordan 10 shoes, they look alright, I s’pose. Mostly black, with a bit of shiny stuff here and there. Reminds me of them patent leather shoes I used to wear to church on Sundays, only these are for, well, for stompin’ around, I reckon. I saw a picture of ’em online, thanks to my grandson, bless his heart. He’s always showin’ me this newfangled stuff on that little picture box he carries around.
- They got this shiny black part, like I said.
- And some white stuff on the bottom, looks like it’d get dirty real quick.
- And then there’s this blue-ish purple color, kinda like them grapes we used to grow in the backyard.
My grandson tells me they’re worth a whole lotta money, too. Can you believe it? Shoes! Back in my day, shoes were for keepin’ your feet dry and protectin’ ’em from rocks and such. We didn’t go around payin’ a month’s rent for a pair of shoes, that’s for sure. But these young folks, they got money to burn, I guess. Or maybe they just like to look fancy.
I heard tell these Space Jam shoes came out a while back, then they came out again, and then again. Seems like they keep makin’ ’em over and over. It’s like that time my neighbor’s rooster kept crowin’ all night long, no matter how many times she shooed him away. Just kept at it. These shoe folks, they just keep makin’ them shoes, and people keep buyin’ ’em. Goes to show, people will buy just about anything if you tell ’em it’s special.
And let me tell you, finding these shoes ain’t easy, even if you got the money. My grandson says you gotta go online, or to them fancy stores in the big city. And even then, you might have to pay extra, like you’re buyin’ somethin’ rare, like a four-leaf clover or a hen’s tooth. It’s all a bit much for an old lady like me, I tell ya.
So, what’s the big fuss all about? Well, it seems like these shoes are more than just shoes. They’re like a piece of history, a reminder of that Michael Jordan fella and his jumpin’ and runnin’. And folks like to have a piece of history, even if it means emptyin’ their pocketbook. It’s like them folks who collect old stamps or coins. They ain’t gonna use ’em, but they like havin’ ’em around, showin’ ’em off to their friends.
I heard some folks wearin’ these shoes, sellin’ them. Like them folks who buy houses then sell it to earn more money. These shoes, old, new. People buy and sell it. Just like them folks with their gold and silver.
And them prices? Don’t get me started. My grandson showed me some numbers on that little picture box of his, and I almost choked on my sweet tea. Hundreds of dollars! For shoes! I could buy a whole lotta flour and sugar for that kind of money, bake enough pies to feed the whole darn county. But these kids, they’d rather have the shoes, I guess. Different strokes for different folks, as they say.
Anyways, that’s about all I know about them Jordan 10 Space Jam shoes. They’re fancy, they’re expensive, and they got folks all riled up. Me? I’ll stick with my old comfy shoes, thank you very much. They might not be fancy, but they get me where I need to go, and that’s all that matters to this old lady.
And if you young folks wanna spend your hard-earned money on shoes, well, that’s your business. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when your feet hurt.
