When I was six years old, Red Ball Jets came out with the coolest sneakers ever. They were totally black except for the little red ball on the heel label.
I wanted some so bad that even though the store didn’t have my size, I was willing to get a pair that was way too big – just so that I could be cool.
That sense of cool was internal. I don’t remember any of my friends having a pair.
Many years later, I finally got my all-black sneakers.
This pair is even cooler. They are made from almost 100% recycled materials. It’s surprising how much they look like my childhood favorite shoes.
Rewards (sometimes) come to those who wait.
