A Public Service Announcement of tarsal coverings
Chucks are a memory, a footprint of years of concerts and fun times. I’ve had this one pair since I was 17 and its been to every concert with me. They have been to venues varying from the basement of a friend, to a coffee house, to the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. they have withstood anything from punk bass-lines to the extreme mosh pits of bands like Children of Bodom or In Flames. These shoes are a memory of some of the best times in my life. Regardless of how they smell or look, these Chucks are mine and to throw them out is to throw away the only physical proof of the places I have stepped.
So next time you are about to throw a way an old pair of Chucks, remember the good times you have had together… give them a second chance.
I ALWAYS keep my worn-out Chucks. You never know when you’ll need a pair to jog your memory 😉
