I had no idea East bay was going under. I kind of noticed I wasn't getting email from them. It's a nice article and your Mom and I are glad to know we aren't morons though we never knew of your desire to be a crossbow owner. We remember the Spurs shooting shirt as well as the Sean Elliott jersey that got you a chance to play one on one with him at Lute's camp.

I also grew up in the Sears catalog era, and I rue its demise- BUT the internet does ensure that I too can get my 13s in my show of choice and not from the ‘this is all we got’ selection at a shoe store...

(My favorite shoe ever was the Penny 1s, with the commercial where the basketball court turned into a shark pool.)

Correction: the Nike Air Prevail, the second shoe he wore at Orlando

Great article. Because I spent most of my childhood overseas, Eastbay magazine was a looking glass into the goings on in American style. I spent way too many hours staring at Nike Air Uptempo and basks lol gloves. SNKRS has made it to where now that I can afford the shoes, it’s not as fun to buy them.
