Alright, alright, lemme tell ya ’bout them fancy shoes, the “sneaker of the year” they call it, at that ComplexCon thing. Don’t ask me what ComplexCon is, some big city shindig, I reckon. But these shoes, well, they somethin’ else.
The Hype is Real, They Say
Folks be goin’ crazy over these sneakers, like they never seen shoes before. I seen pictures on that… whatchamacallit… Face-book? Yeah, that’s it. Kids postin’ pictures, sayin’ stuff like “13K likes, 73 comments” and “10K likes, 80 comments”. Lordy, that’s a lot of folks lookin’ at shoes! They even got these other pictures, with fewer folks, maybe “1,075 likes, 23 comments”, but still, that’s more folks than live in my whole darn town!
And them city slickers, they got dates for these things too. Like, somethin’ happened on “November 16”, and somethin’ else on “December 6” and even “November 1”. Sounds like they trackin’ these shoes like they trackin’ the weather or somethin’. They even “recap ComplexCon,” which I guess means they talkin’ all about it after it’s done. Busy folks, I tell ya.
Big Names, Big Shoes
- Now, they got these big names mixed up with the shoes too. Names I ain’t never heard of, mind you. Some fellas called “Jadakiss,” “Jim Jones,” and a lady named “Vashtie.” Sounds like a bunch of hoodlums and a fancy lady, if you ask me. But I guess they important in the shoe world.
- And them shoe companies, they all in a tizzy too. Folks talkin’ ‘bout “Nike is going all out” and some other company, “Saucony is in the mix”. Sounds like a horse race, not a shoe show! But that’s how they do things in the city, I guess. All hyped up and competitive.
More Than Just Shoes, They Say
It ain’t just shoes, though. They got “exclusive collections of clothing, bags” too. Lordy, you could spend a whole year’s worth of egg money on that stuff. But these city folks, they got money to burn, I reckon. They buyin’ these fancy shoes and clothes, wearin’ ‘em around like they royalty or somethin’.
What’s the Fuss About?
Now, me, I don’t get it. Shoes are shoes, right? You put ‘em on your feet, you walk around. But these ain’t just shoes, they say. They “sneaker of the year.” Like they some kinda prize-winning pig or somethin’. And I guess that makes ‘em special.
They Got All Kinds, I Hear
They got all sorts of colors and styles, I seen. Some are bright and flashy, like a rooster’s tail feathers. Others are plain and simple, like a good pair of work boots. But they all got that fancy name on ‘em, that “sneaker of the year” tag. And that’s what makes ‘em cost a pretty penny, I bet.
It’s a Whole Different World
It’s a whole different world, this ComplexCon sneaker thing. Folks lining up, spending their hard-earned cash on shoes and clothes. Me? I’ll stick to my trusty old boots. They ain’t fancy, but they get the job done. And they don’t cost an arm and a leg neither. But hey, if them city folks wanna spend their money on the “sneaker of the year”, that’s their business. Just don’t expect me to understand it. I’m just an old woman who appreciates a good pair of shoes that keeps my feet dry and comfortable.
In the End, They’re Just Shoes
So, yeah, that’s what I know about this “sneaker of the year” business. A whole lotta fuss over some shoes and clothes. But hey, it keeps them city folks busy, I guess. And who am I to judge? I just hope them shoes are comfortable, ‘cause all that hype ain’t gonna do you no good if your feet are hurtin’. At the end of the day, they’re just shoes, right? Just a little fancier and a whole lot more expensive than what I’m used to.
Maybe I Should Start A Sneaker Collection, Hah!
Imagine me, an old lady, with a closet full of sneakers! Now that would be a sight. But I think I’ll stick to my garden and my chickens. That’s more my speed. But I’ll tell you what, if I ever did win the lottery, maybe I’d buy myself a pair of them “sneaker of the year” shoes. Just to see what all the fuss is about. But then again, maybe I’d just buy a new tractor. Now that’s somethin’ useful!
