Nike Shoes

     I'm putting this on here so that one day I can maybe find my favorite shoes again. I wanted the Mowabbs, but the neoprene upper in my size was too small to go over my ankle. In the summer of 1992 - just before 9th grade, I went to Florida to stay with my Grandpa Jim and Grandma Betty McKellar. While I was there, my grandma drove all over to help me find the perfect replacement. That's when I discovered the Nike Air Yewtahs!      When I got home, Wally (Travis Bodily) had the Mowabbs.The next year, Nike released a new Yewtah, not nearly as nice, see... However, I was able to find the previous year's style - the last pair, and just my size (in a lighter gray with purple and orange accents) at Foot Locker in the Layton Hills Mall. I was so excited. Between those two pairs of Yewtahs, I found a love for Nike shoes that just hasn't subsided... I didn't realize it until just now, but I think those shoes inspired my color scheme for this blog. Oh how I wish I could find another pair...
     For 11th grade, I found the Nike Air Mada. It is my second favorite shoe of all time. Mine was a tan/brown mid-top with forest green and dark purple accents.Of course, the following year, Nike changed the shoe again (it was still nice, in fact, I think that I've owned at least two more pairs that are descendants of the first style, but none quite as nice.) The following year, while I was in Park City at the Outlet Malls, I found the first year style that was gray or silver with purple accents. I would have bought it for myself but it was a woman's shoe and they didn't have any my size. Amy Hadley, who was my best friend from Fremont High School and my girlfriend at the time, bought them instead.
