Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout these new shoes, the ones that young fella Drake’s been wearin’. Folks call ’em the “Certified Lover Boy” shoes, or somethin’ like that. Don’t ask me what that means, sounds like a whole lotta nothin’ to me. But these shoes, they somethin’ else, ya know?
First off, they white, real white. Like, the kinda white you only see on a fresh pile of snow before the chickens get to it. Clean, they call it. I guess that’s good if you ain’t plannin’ on doin’ any real work in ’em. You wear these shoes to the field, they gonna be brown in five minutes flat, I tell ya.
They got this swoosh thing on the side, everyone knows that swoosh. It’s like, the mark of a good shoe, or so they say. I ain’t never paid much mind to it myself. A shoe’s a shoe, long as it keeps your feet dry and don’t give ya blisters, right? But these young folks, they care about that swoosh. Makes ’em feel fancy, I reckon.
- They got laces, like most shoes do.
- The bottom part, the sole they call it, it’s thick.
- Looks like it’d be comfy, but I ain’t worn ’em myself, so I can’t say for sure.
Now, Drake, he put out these shoes a while back, in 2022 they say. Took ’em long enough to get the word out, huh? Back in my day, if you got somethin’ new, you showed it off right away. No waitin’ around. But these city folk, they do things different, I guess.
They say these shoes are called “Love You Forever” shoes. Forever’s a long time, ain’t it? I don’t know ’bout shoes lastin’ forever, but I reckon if you take care of ’em, they might last a good long while. Course, if you’re wearin’ ’em every day, stompin’ around, they ain’t gonna last forever, no matter how much you love ’em.
People are goin’ crazy for these shoes, lining up and whatnot. Spendin’ a whole lotta money, too. Money that could be used for somethin’ useful, like buyin’ a good plow or fixin’ the roof. But hey, it ain’t my money, so who am I to judge? If they wanna spend their hard-earned cash on fancy shoes, that’s their business.
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout reselling these shoes, makin’ a profit. Buyin’ ’em cheap and then sellin’ ’em for more. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss to me. But I guess that’s how the world works these days. Everyone’s tryin’ to make a quick buck, one way or another.
These Drake shoes, they just shoes at the end of the day. They ain’t gonna make you a better person, they ain’t gonna solve your problems, and they sure ain’t gonna help you plow the fields. But if they make you happy, if they make you feel good, then I guess that’s all that matters. You wear those shoes, you strut your stuff, and you don’t let nobody tell you different.
So, there ya have it. That’s all I know ’bout them new Drake shoes. They white, they got that swoosh, and folks seem to like ’em. If you ask me, they’re a bit too fancy for everyday wear, but what do I know? I’m just an old woman who prefers a good pair of boots that can handle a day’s work. But these young folks, they got their own ways, and that’s just fine. To each their own, I always say. If they wanna wear these “Certified Lover Boy” shoes, let ’em. It ain’t hurtin’ nobody.
And speaking of shoes, remember when shoes were just shoes? You bought ’em, you wore ’em till they fell apart, and then you got new ones. None of this fancy business, no special editions, no nothin’. Just good, sturdy shoes that lasted. But times change, I guess. And folks’ ideas about shoes change too. So, if you got a pair of these Drake shoes, or if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ a pair, just remember one thing: they’re just shoes. Don’t let ’em go to your head. And for goodness sake, don’t wear ’em to the barn.
