Samba Life
Right, so most know my fondness of the legendary Adidas samba shoe, technically THE best item of footwear ever invented. I wear my old set for work, pictured above with paint splatters on. Anyhow, to the point. The other day I nipped down to the bank, upon leaving the bank a gent walks past me, nothing unusual there! Until I leave the precinct to discover he'd doubled back on him self and following me! Or is he! Maybe he had forgotten something and had to nip back to where he'd originally been. However I looked behind me another couple of times before reaching the car park where I'd parked the motor and he was defs following me. My mind started racing, he's seen me come out of the bank, maybe he thinks I'm packing abit of dosh! and fancies his chances at mugging me, not to worry I know he's there so I'm prepped. I get to the motor he was about 4 or 5 steps behind me, I put the keys into the door and whip around to find him stood there..
"what the fuck do you want?" I said..
"ohh nowt mate, errrm.. can I ask where you got your shoes from?"
"Yeh, Wyndsors, it's right there, £30 quid" *points to Wyndsors world of shoe's which is adjacent to the car park*
"No, I meen.. do you want to sell yours?"
"Look, what the fucks your game fella, are you trying to be funny?"
"Oh no no, soz.. I meen, I like yours because they have paint on them and stuff, they look good like that"
"Don't be mental mate"
"Not even for a tenner"
"I don't think so, you better do one kid"
Serious, thats what happend! After I had a think about it, I found an appreciation for that blokes sense of style, and figured out I'm clearly a trend setter even in work clothes. So mad respect, I was hostile at the time because I figured it was going to be a mugging attempt. Later on I also thought, ok he may have been into my shoes in a style sense, but what if he was one of those blokes who wanks off with other gents shoes on his face and stuff, because mine stink and they would be heaven for a bloke who's into that sort of caper! Worrying, but I'll go with the first thought eh.
