Without further adieu, some "cheap" ass shoes and a Rolex

They were $10.00 when I was a kid and I had to do some hard selling to get my mom to buy me a pair when all other sneakers were like $5.00. I had to convince her that the converse lasted 3 times longer which they did so I was able to stay in converse as a kid and get to throw them up on to the power lines when they wore out! Don't remember why we did that but you converse had to go up on the ires when you were done with them.

Love the Chuck Taylor's. Use them for lifting weights and they are some of the best shoes you can buy for that purpose. Nice watch too! :)
