Sneakerhead Vol. 3: Christmas Riches

I consider myself pretty lucky for all of the opportunities in my life. When I stop and consider all of what I have, it makes me pause before the next time I want to complain about anything. Frankly, my life isn't perfect, but relative to what it could be, I've got a pretty good thing going.

Christmas always acts as a nice reminder of this. It's perspective in the form of material goods which show just how lucky I am. This Christmas was no different. I was blessed with 3 pairs of kicks that I'm very happy with.

1. Greedy Genius Ocean Runner- Boardwalk

These boat shoe inspired high tops are clean to say the least. Leather laces for a leather shoe, a comfortable fit, and the satisfaction of people taking a double take are what these will give you.

2. Nike Blazer High- Charcoal/Ceramic

I have already stated my interest in the Nike Blazer, and this colorway was too good to pass up. The ceramic provides the right amount of pop while the charcoal is classy and understated. Consider me pleased.


3. Nike Air Royal Mid

These could be seen as a bit of a stretch. I don't think these are for everyone. They are a little showy (very shiny) and are patent leather. If you're hesitating just hearing that, then it's probably a pass. I on the other hand, don't really have dignity or sense of self so I'll wear them no problem.
