Still Snappin' Necks...

Did you know that there is an underground world (not so underground as I have found out) of people who collect and talk about tennis shoes?
Well my Fiance is totally a part of this world. I mean as a woman I know how important a cute pair of shoes are. Well a couple of years ago Nick started listening to this radio show and started his collection. I even bought him two "engagement" shoes to add to the collection. There is this whole community of people who share a love for these shoes. They talk about them, discuss future releases, even discusses the materials used in the shoes.
He has a story for every shoe he had growing up and can remember them like their still sitting in his closet. My favorite story is about a pair of shoes that came out that only came in Men's sizes. So he begged his Mom to get them for him even though the smallest size was too big and he wore two pairs of socks so they would fit. Super cute! Well this weekend this group of people I thought only existed via twitter, radio shows, and blogs treated him like he was a celebrity because of these shoes:
I know what you're thinking. They look like black Nike's right? WRONG! Ok I'm going to attemp to get this right. They are Nike's designed by a company in Germany and they are made from Denim and other materials not usually used by Nike and they only made a handful of them making them pretty rare. So these guys in a mall in Austin stopped Nick and were like "Man are those the __________________? Those are crazy! Where did you get them?" Of course they used much cooler language then I am capable of doing but you get the picture. So yes I'm marrying a super cool dude and you should be jealous.
PS - Are you wondering what the title of this post means? Well my cutie cute has a t-shirt with this phrase on it. Here is the mental picture: When you have super fly shoes on people will break (or snap) their necks trying to get a second look at them. Did I get it right Nicholas?
