Alright, let’s talk about them carrot jordan 1 shoes, the ones the young folks are all crazy about. I don’t get it myself, look like clown shoes to me, but everyone’s yappin’ about ’em, so I figured I’d put in my two cents, you know, like them fancy city folks do on their computin’ machines.
First off, what in the tarnation is a “jordan” anyway? Sounds like some fella’s name, probably one of them basketball fellers. My grandson, he’s always blabberin’ about jumpin’ and dunkin’ and all that. Guess this Jordan fella was good at it. Now they put his name on shoes, and folks lose their minds. Go figure.
And these “carrot” ones? Don’t even get me started. Orange, like a dang carrot! Who’d wanna wear orange shoes? Back in my day, shoes were black or brown, sturdy enough to work the fields. These things look like they’d fall apart if you stepped in a puddle. But I heard these young’uns paying a whole lot of money for them, more than my old man paid for a whole cow!
- The Color: Like I said, orange. Like a carrot. Not sure why that’s so special, but there you have it. Maybe they think it’ll help ’em see in the dark, like them safety vests the road workers wear. Who knows?
- The Style: High-tops, they call ’em. Covers up your ankles. Guess that’s good if you got skinny ankles you’re ashamed of. They got laces, too, like regular shoes. Nothin’ fancy, just laces.
- The Hype: This is the part I really don’t get. People are goin’ crazy for these things. Linin’ up, fightin’, payin’ a fortune. For orange shoes! Must be somethin’ in the water these days. Makes folks act all goofy. My old mule had more sense, and he only ate hay.
I heard some folks sayin’ these shoes are “premium” and “authenticated”. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. What’s so premium about an orange shoe? And “authenticated”? Means somebody checked to make sure it’s a real orange shoe, not a fake one? Land sakes, the world’s gone mad.
Now, they got these places, like “POIZON” they call it, where you can “discover, cop, and share” these here shoes. Sounds like somethin’ illegal, like them fellers sellin’ moonshine back in the day. But my grandson tells me it’s all above board. They got “experts” checkin’ if the shoes are real. Like I said, crazy world.
Someone told me there’s a “Ultimate Guide” to these Jordan shoes. A whole guide! For shoes! What kinda world is this where you need a guide to buy shoes? Back in my day, you went to the store, tried ‘em on, and if they fit, you bought ‘em. No guides, no nothin’. Just good, solid shoes.
And what makes these Air Jordan 1 shoes so “special”? That’s what some fella named Schlemmer wants to tell you. He knows all about the “key styles”. Key styles! Like there’s secret codes to shoes or somethin’. It’s all a bit much for an old lady like me.
So, here’s my take on these carrot jordan 1 shoes: they’re orange, they’re expensive, and folks are goin’ nuts for ‘em. I don’t get it, but then again, I don’t get most things these young folks do. If they wanna spend their hard-earned money on orange shoes, well, that’s their business. Me? I’ll stick to my good ol’ sturdy boots. They might not be fancy, but they get the job done, and they don’t cost an arm and a leg.
And you know what? These shoes, they probably won’t last you more than a year or two, but my boots? I’ve had ’em for twenty years and they are still good as new after I give them a good clean. So think about that before wasting your money on a pair of “carrot” shoes!
But hey, that’s just my opinion. You young folks go on and do your thing. Just don’t come cryin’ to me when your feet hurt from wearin’ those clown shoes all day.
