A Size 11? Not Me.

NOT JUST AN ORDINARY SHOE...OR IS IT?

It has been well-documented (mostly by me) that I am something of a shoe person...OK, shoe freak if you like. I like to think of it as my "feminine side," but the feminine side of my family says I'm just plain odd. There being no dissension except from me, I guess it's true. I alwyas swear that I'm not going to buy another pair of athletic shoes, but then Nike or Adidas or Puma comes out with a "gotta-have-it" pair in just my size. Well, not this time.
The pictured pair of shoes is noteworthy in some respects. It was inspired by the XBox gaming system, hence the "X" on the heel. Battery-operated, the letter actually lights up in either a steady beam of light or in a pulsating, disco-type flashing light. The battery is located in the tongue so as not to get jumped on (I guess).
While the shoe is not really sponsored by either Nike or the makers of the XBox, its cachet is undeniable, as are the two factors which will keep me from buying this product: it's a limited edition of one, so far, in size 11, and the price is $2500.00 as it's listed on EBay. The maker, to be fair, considers the shoes art, and he has done other sneakers in like manner...in fact, these are not his most expensive design. (we're talking diamonds and gold here).
So, for now, I'll have to wait for something else to come along at a "Buy it now" price I can afford.
I'm not that big on green and black, anyway.
