They Call Them Classics Because That's What They Are

It's taken me a while to come to this conclusion, but my favorite shoes are Reebok Classics – suede, not vinyl. I first discovered them as a high schooler back in the 1990s. They came out in a wide variety of colors, and I kept buying them. I liked them because they were affordable (paying ridiculous amounts of money for something to go on your feat is just that... ridiculous. Shoes have a hard life, and while I understand wanting high quality, I never understood the idea of paying close to or over $100 for shoes), not too flashy (I also never understood the thrill of having a super-complicated design on your shoes. They're going to get dirty.) At one point I had four pair all black, red with white trim, blue with white trim and a sweet pair of all teal ones. I wore them constantly, always making sure to coordinate my outfit around whichever pair I was wearing at the time. I had a classmate who also had multiple pairs, and whenever we'd get some new ones, we'd find each other and show off. He had a pair of all brown ones I loved! They went away for a while, but I have recently discovered them again. I can’t find them in as many colors, but I have two pair all white (my first pair of white shoes since I was in elementary school.) and black with white trim. You can still find them in super bright colors, but you have to order them online, and I still can’t pay a whole bunch for shoes. But there is an amazing all-gray pair I have my eye on. Maybe one day I will break down and make them mine.
