20 April - WOD

Foot Fetish


I'm embarrassed to admit it but I have a ridiculous foot fetish. No, not the typical pretty, petite, neatly pedicured toes (that make most men drool) when immersed in the perfect Jimmy Choo, open toed, strappy sandal type fetish. I mean, that's a given. What man on earth can resist such a delightful image? I have a totally different and unique fetish.

"Hello, my name is Corey and I'm addicted to Retro Air Jordan sneakers. It all started back in '88 when Nike released the 3rd edition of Michael Jordan's popular basketball sneaker to the general public. I still remember how my very first pair of AJs made me feel like I was walking on air. Not literally but figuratively of course. Ever since then, I've been a fiend for MJ's signature sneaks. As a youth, I thought eventually I'd outgrow my addiction. I know now that I was in way over my head. Some folk drink incessantly, some people smoke maad weed. Me, I’m intoxicated by "flyness". I've owned countless pairs. I've even purchased my favorite editions 2, 3, 5 and 11 multiple times. When it comes to casual apparel, nothing parallels a fresh pair of vintage Air Jordan classics on my feet. Air force Ones are cool and shell toe Adidas are nice but no brand comes within a basketball's circumference of my Air Jordans. I'll likely be the first 50 year old dude still collecting sneakers. "What you want me to do. I'm sorry!" We've all got vices. However silly it may be, at least mine is an innocent one, right?
