Speak of Sneakers and They Doth Appear

September 2, 2009 by WendyB

A day after I posted the only known photo of me in sneakers, a package arrived bearing new sneakers! They are an incredibly thoughtful gift from gorgeous soon-to-be-blogging-again ENC (check her blog TOMORROW). When I saw her in L.A. recently, I admired her colorful Onitsuka Tiger sneakers.A  I don’t know how she weaseled my shoe size out of me, but when I got back to New York, my very own pair was waiting for me.

They came with a spare pair of purple laces.

Much more stylish than my white New Balance pair.

ENC is one of the most generous people I know. She helps me with Photoshop, prevents me from sending angry emails, bakes muffins for me and now she sends sneakers too. I heart you, ENC! Thank you for everything!

    Wow, you make me sound great! I’m glad that no one but me knows that my captcha is “beyotch!”

    I was very happy to share my Onitsuka Tiger joy with you. I knew sneakers were a longshot, but I’m glad that you’re enjoying them. I hope to be sneaker twins with you soon.

    (p.s.: I’ll never tell how I got your shoe size!)

    Sweet shoes – sneakers are the last fashion frontier for me actually. I can maybe pull off converse but that’s about the extent of it. Unless I am jogging! But they look fab on you – I oughta get some running shoes like that.

    Those are nice enough for out-of-gym.
    I only wear Keds out in public. Thanks to my extreme flat feet and knee pain, I may have to wear crazy orthopedic sneakers for the rest of my life.

    ENC rules, doesn’t she? Those sneaks are SUCH fun! Do post whatever outfit you build around them …
