Well, let me tell ya ’bout them space jordans. I don’t know much ’bout fancy shoes, but even I heard of ’em. Folks say they somethin’ special, like magic shoes or somethin’.
Heard tell these shoes were made special, just for that Jordan fella. Yeah, the basketball player. They say they in “perfect deadstock condition” whatever that means. Sounds like they ain’t never been worn, which is a waste if ya ask me. Shoes are for wearin’, not for lookin’ at.
I saw on that internet thingy, they call it “Facebook Watch”, this fella unboxin’ some “Space Jam” Jordans. Lordy, the fuss they make over shoes! Thousands of folks watchin’, likin’, and sharin’. Made me scratch my head, I tell ya.
- They say Michael Jordan, he wore them shoes way back in 1995.
- That’s a long time ago, even for an old woman like me.
- Two decades later, they still makin’ a big deal outta them.
Seems like in some movie, Jordan played basketball with a bunch of aliens, cartoon aliens at that. And Bugs Bunny too! Imagine that, a grown man playin’ ball with a rabbit and space creatures. Only in America, I reckon.
And the price! Don’t even get me started. Heard they cost a fortune. Enough to feed a family for a year, maybe more. Folks spendin’ that kind of money on shoes, it just ain’t right. But then again, I ain’t got no money to be judgin’, I guess.
I also saw some rich folks on TV flyin’ around in a big ol’ jet, a “private jet” they called it. Showed off all sorts of fancy things, even Jordan’s shoes. Why you’d need to take your shoes on a jet, I’ll never know. Seems like a waste of good flyin’ space to me.
Now, they got these new Jordan shoes comin’ out all the time. They unbox ’em on the internet and talk about “style” and “innovation.” Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. They just shoes, right? But folks go crazy for ’em. Linin’ up for hours, fightin’ over ’em. Makes me wonder if they got somethin’ more than just rubber and leather in ’em.
Some folks say the Jordan 3s are real comfortable. “Simple upper” they call it. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout uppers, but I know what comfortable feels like. And they say the 5s and 13s are good too. Zoom air, whatever that is. Sounds like somethin’ a spaceship would have, not a shoe.
They started out makin’ shoes just for basketball, but now they makin’ stuff for all sorts of sports, even football. Seems like they want to put the Jordan name on everythin’. Can’t blame ’em, I guess. If folks are buyin’, they gonna keep sellin’.
But me, I’ll stick to my old work boots. They ain’t pretty, and they sure ain’t fancy, but they get the job done. And they don’t cost an arm and a leg. These space jordans, they for the rich folks and the collectors. I’ll just admire ’em from afar, on that internet thingy, and shake my head at the silliness of it all. Though, I gotta admit, them shoes do look kinda snazzy with all them colors. Maybe if I won the lottery… naw, I’d still buy a good tractor ‘fore I bought fancy shoes, even if they Michael Jordan’s shoes.
