Miles: Sneaker-Freaker

My feet live vicariously through Miles. Outside of a recent trip to some back-alley, down a flight of stairs, beneath the fake dumpster sneaker boutiques in NYC with Albert (which, admittedly, resulted in a sweet pair of Vans and a "hot" pair of black and gold Adidas)...i've more or less missed, for one reason or another, the sneaker-freaker movement. I can appreciate a classic pair of Air Force Ones with the best of them...but buying them, boxing them, hoarding them...I've never done it (not to say I don't want to).

But MILES, on the other hand...he's got no choice.

Baby shoes are seemingly exploding with hipness (note the cammo Etnies in the upper left)...as we witnessed, yet again, at the new hip-enough-to-be-pricey and trendy-enough-to-be-in-the-suburbs Baby Style store near us.

We ended up getting Miles a $36 pair of green Tip-Toey-Joeys (over a pair of black-and-white checkered baby-Vans):

So, yeah, Miles has more (and more cooler) pairs of shoes than I do...and he can't even walk. But at least, in that sense, he keeps his kicks in pristine condition.
