I remember about six years ago there was a middle aged woman that lived around the corner from me in Nashville that sported this look that I'm sure she had been rocking since at least 1986! She had a very big hairdo, bleached with lots of hairspray. Throw some frosted pink lipstick and plenty of white and turquoise wardrobe pieces (not to mention her run down white Camaro Firebird), and what you had was a long lost extra in a Whitesnake video. Ha!
Now since I am a man of *ahem* age, I have always been pretty concerned with falling into this trap. You know what I'm talking about, often times there just seems to be a point where certain people seem to stop evolving with regards to style and dress. That being said, I do definitely believe that there are times where it is very cool to stick to the classics. One just has to be very aware and wise as he or she does this, because it most certainly is a fine line.
One arena in my life that I will not evolve past is the realm of SNEAKERS! I will now and forever rock Vans!
Vans Blue Old Skool Off the Wall Era
Part of Vans Off The Wall series is the Era low top, classed up with two-tone suede and canvas uppers. Classic white vulcanized rubber midsole; waffle grip gum rubber sole and padded collar.
I first fell in love with these shoes when I was very young, as in elementary school young. At my school, during that time, if you didn't have Vans...well man, you really weren't with it. Though there is a slim to zero chance that you would find me on a skateboard these days, I do believe this is something that has stuck with me. They have been harder and harder to find over the past several years. Lucky for me (and for those of you out there that really know the score) that upon my perusal of sale items at Urban Outfitters I found these kicks for a mere $29.99, down from $55.00!
