Dunks Up For Grabs<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

My most memorable sneaker mishap happened about six years ago when I was coming home from college for the winter holidays. I had packed three pairs of Nike Dunks in a duffle bag – the SB De La Soul High, the “Bison Brown” Premium Mighty Crown and the “Santana” Premium Dunk. So, I arrived in NYC awaiting my aunt’s car to pick me & my girlfriend (at the time) up. When she got there, I loaded a bunch of our bags in my aunt’s car, and we headed home. The following day, I was ready to wear my De La Soul Dunks but couldn’t find them in the duffle bag. I assumed that I left them in my aunt’s car, so I wasn’t worried at all. It was once I called my aunt and confirmed with her that there was no duffle bag left behind in the car that I realized that they were left outside of where my aunt had picked us up. Three pairs of great-conditioned footwear gone just like that. I drove back to the place a day after but of course the bag wasn’t there. To this day it still hurts, but I re-purchased the De La Soul Dunks because that shoe is my holy grail, and I wouldn’t feel complete without them. Whomever found that duffle was Charlie Sheen – “winning” that year.<\/p>\n

Making it Rain In and On the “Citrus” Air Jordan 7<\/h2>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve only worn my “Citrus” Air Jordan 7s three times. The first two times it poured down raining on my shoes when rain wasn’t even a part of the forecast those days. The third and last time I laced them up, a stripper pierced and penetrated her stiletto pump heel into one of them on accident. I haven’t worn them since.<\/p>\n

Dirt Bikes and Jordans Don’t Mix<\/h2>\n

I have a story of ruining my White\/Red Air Jordan 14s. So, I had the 14s marked on my calendar, anticipating the re-release of one of my favorite Jordans. Knowing it was a QS release, I woke up early Friday morning and camped out a couple of hours before the store opened to secure my pair. Surely enough, I was able to purchase my pair, and I was ecstatic. So the next day, I wore them immediately to a family outing because I was anxious to get them on my feet. I arrive to my destination, and began conversing and engaging with my family. Next thing I know, my cousin comes through on a dirt bike and asks me if I want to take it for a spin. I said, “Sure” and proceeded to take it around the block. First lap, so far so good; second lap, great. The third lap rolls around, and I lean too much in on one side and fall. Luckily, I had a helmet on, but I glanced at my 14s and the whole right side was scraped off. I was so disappointed in myself. Besides the fact I ruined a new pair of sneakers, I enjoyed the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

A Manicure for the Air Max 97<\/h2>\n


\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once, I was standing in line at the gas station, and a lady in front of me was fumbling through her purse. Seconds later, a bottle of brown nail polish falls out and breaks, splattering all over my all-white Air Max 97s.<\/p>\n

Turf Toe<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ah, it was 8th grade. Before the school year, I copped a pair of “Citrus” Air Jordan 9s and rocked them everyday. I was also on the football team, and I remember my cleats got stolen before a game that year. Sadly, I couldn’t borrow anyone else’s since they were all playing. I had nowhere else to turn but to wear my “Citrus” 9s out on the turf. I tried being as careful as possible, but I played on the offensive line, and I already had the opposing defensive lineman and linebackers stepping on them. Running through the turf didn’t help at all either or when people fell on them following a tackle and what not. They were completely trashed after the game. I never wore them ever again after that. It was one sad day, man.<\/p>\n

A Puppy’s Late-Night “Bred” Snack<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I once fell asleep on my couch and woke up in the morning just to see my puppy chewing through my 3-week old Black\/Red 4s.<\/p>\n

Air-Less Bag<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I bought a pair of OG Air Max 91s to run in and get more in shape for Marine Corps Boot Camp. I ran in the shoes for a few months, and also wore them throughout Boot Camp and throughout my stint in the Corps. They took massive abuse but washed up clean every time. I continued to sport them on occasion after I was discharged and finally set them in a box for storage at my mom’s house. I had planned on keeping them for a very long time but took them camping (for lack of shoes that had yet been dirtied). While sitting by the campfire one night, I heard a loud hissing sound. I found no snake but after looking around for minutes, I discovered my air bag had melted on my shoe. Years later and just a couple of months ago, I pulled them out of the box to inspect them and discovered the midsoles had totally crumbled. I miss my Maxes, and I haven’t seen this colorway since it dropped in 1991.<\/p>\n
