Nike Running Shoes
I remember when I was in fourth or fifth grade, Nike running shoes were very popular. These shoes were quite simple back then, and did not have many of the features that they have today. The most important thing about owning a pair of Nike shoes was to have the swoosh on the side. They came in quite a few different colors, and many of the girls I knew, including myself, wanted to have the pink ones. They weren’t very expensive back then, but oh how things have changed.
Today a pair of Nike running shoes will cost you quite a bit of money. They did not cost nearly that much when I was young, but that was before sneakers became what they are today. Though you don’t hear many stories about people robbing each other for their shoes anymore, this was something that happened on occasion in the past. The thought of mugging someone just to take their Nike running shoes is quite amusing to me, but I am sure it was not funny to those who had to go through it. It is pretty sad when a fashion statement become so expensive that people have to do this to each other.
| Historical Quote |
And thus they give the time, that Nature meant
For peaceful sleep and meditative snores,
To ceaseless din and mindless merriment
And waste of shoes and floors.

Today, Nike running shoes are about much more than their swoosh. They have many different features from which to choose, and they are made specifically for those who need comfort and support while playing sports. This doesn’t mean that other people don’t buy Nike running shoes, but if they do so, it is more of a fashion statement than anything else. Most pairs of Nike running shoes that I have seen look pretty good, but there are some that are clearly made for the athlete only.
In some ways, Nike running shoes are more of a fashion statement for boys than they are for girls. Because these types of shoes cost so much money, I am glad that I have a little girl rather than a little boy. It is going to be hard enough for me to buy her clothing that she wants without having to worry about buying Nike running shoes all of the time. Knowing my luck, these shoes will go back into fashion just as she starts school, and she’ll be begging me for them all of the time. I never want to spoil my daughter, but there are some things that you like to do for your children, and have a nice clothes is one of them. I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and buy the shoes.
