Gotta Be Da Shoes - Where Sneaker Culture Meets Faithഉദാഹരണം

Finding Your Perfect Fit

My love for sneakers was awakened in the fifth grade. Suddenly, I noticed what everyone was wearing on their feet and couldn’t look away; the leather, the canvas, the suede, the colorways, and of course the brands. This awakening happened because of the shoes I happened to be wearing. My friends started making fun of me because I had on Bobos. At first, I argued, “These are not Bobos… look, they don’t even have a name on them.” Then I learned the definition of Bobos; shoes with no name. I needed a pair of Nikes ASAP to save my reputation. My parents refused to buy me a pair and told me I had to figure it out myself. At ten years old I started my first business: “Tommy’s lawn service”. After a few weeks of hustling, I saved up enough money to get my first pair of real sneakers.

I remember walking into school feeling like a million bucks with my new shoes. I got compliments left and right. This felt great, but as I grew into my teenage years I struggled with materialism. I felt like my shoes, my clothes, and my jewelry validated who I was. When I was sixteen I started shoplifting from my retail job. Soon my closet was bursting at the seams with new clothes. I soon realized my material lust was a never-ending chase. The fuller my closet got, the emptier my heart was.

A few years later I found what I needed. It was so much more satisfying than another hit of retail dopamine. I didn’t have to try to squeeze my foot into it. It was the perfect fit. I knew it’s gotta be these shoes. These were the ones I was praying for. Let me make it plain: I found my purpose, the reason my feet were placed on this planet. How can you find your perfect fit? The sweet spot that feels like walking on Nike Air? I can’t give you the exact specifications. I’ve heard it said that our creator works in mysterious colorways. But, I can show you a pathway that can get you there in these next five days. It’s a process that starts with seeking the one that made you. The maker of the universe shaped us in his likeness and image and he has designed you for destiny!
