I always wanted a pair of Jordans...
...the big fuck off ones in black suede with red logos.

Instead I eventully opted for a pair of Nike Air TWs in brilliant white/pink laced so loosely that I have collapsed arches today.

Back then I thought I looked the mutts though.

Yep the black suede ones - 17th birthday present from my Dad.

Jordan IVs are in my top 3 sneakers of all time.

Jordan 4s all the way.

Sneakers? It was all "trainers" down our way.

How I fought back the tears when I stepped my two day old Nike Airs into a massive dog turd.

I feel your pain.
I once left an impossibly-rare pair of orignal 70s Adidas shell toes (with the old thin tongues and gorgeous dark red stripes) by a swimming pool in Spain after nearly drowning on ecstasy (on my own at 4am). They were gone when I woke up (in an apartment full of dripping wet clothes). Bad, bad times.

Ouch
That's lamentably up there with the "I failed to invest in Ebay" QOTW post from last week.
