Everyone has that one shoe that they will never, ever part with. Whether it represents a special moment of yours or just simply stands as your go-to sneaker, that one shoe is linked to you for whatever reason. And guess what? Someone couldn’t pry it out of your hands with any amount of force.
Our eighth installment of Kick Chronicles spotlights multiple members of the Snkrs Day staff detailing the one shoe they will never part with. Check out each staff member’s installment, and share details about the one shoe you will never part with below.

adidas Pro Model Royal/White
This seems to be a regular pair of age-old Pro Models, but they hold significant value to me. This is the Pro Model that I wore for the majority of my senior year in high school. Before my senior year, my high school basketball team had never sniffed the postseason; we never knew what it felt like to have a season after district games. Yet in 2003, we not only made it to the playoffs but also to the state tournament in Austin at the University of Texas. It’s been 10 years since that Cinderella run, and yes, I still have these because it represents a fun and memorable moment in time for me. Unfortunately, we lost in the semifinals, but when I look at this shoe – and all of the motivating messages I wrote on them – I’m reminded of that run and my teammates that year, whom I still keep in touch with from time to time.
