sneakers

[Action Martin]

I own three pairs of sneakers. Reebok hightops, New Balance RS running sneakers, and Vans checkered sneakers (made famous in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High").

I usually have whatever is on discount at the Nike outlet. I still live in the past and think that paying over $40 for a pair of shoes is crazy.

Of course I say this and my wife would point out that I would pay less for shoes then I would a pair of 8" dolls

This reminds me of a discussion I had with a toy collecting friend of mine several years ago before reproductions made it a lot easier to complete an action figure. We were talking about how difficult and expensive it was to track down missing accessories for various vintage action figures (he is into Gilbert James Bond and I'm into Mego), and we both suddenly realized that we were willing to pay more money for shoes and clothes for our dollies than we were for ourselves.

Do you have Heelys in the US ??
They are shoes that have wheels built in to the soles that young kids (6-11) wear.
There's been a few kids that have been killed because they wheeled in to the road.
