Someone overdubbed that stupid banana republic/vanity fair love story on wheels set at a Midnite Ridazz ride. Thank god they kept in the “nah man” line from the stupid original flick though.

Yes, I own a fixie which I like to ride a lot, but no, I don’t barspin it or any of that nonsense. (yes, I am considering getting a milwaukee bruiser s700, but that’s another story). This HILARIOUS video has been making the rounds the past few days but was taken off of vimeo–no worries, it’s up on youtube now and… um.. here.

Ok, maybe “hate” is a little strong. See, I like shoes, but I am a grown-ass man, which means I have long since retired my Dunks. They just look ridiculous on someone over say… 32.  I don’t care that you are wearing some fucking Billy Bragg x Costume National x Doonesbury colorway, they look like clown shoes and you are a turd for waiting in line for them. In fact, the very same dunks (I can’t even be bothered capitalizing it) that I used to clean and keep nice and fresh, I now use to go riding bmx. Brakeless. (This means I have to either drag my feet on my back tire or on the ground to stop. Not shoe-friendly.)

I am really liking these black perforated leather adidas Zeitfrei which I had previously only seen in hideous collaboration versions, and from the adidas site description, seem to be cycling shoes of some sort:

Whether you’re pegging the fun-meter on an all-city ride, or just kicking back and setting the gears to coast, the adidas Zeitfrei shoe laces you into a premium snug, quill-pedal fit with a stylish perforation design for breathability.

I have been looking for a pair of shoes to replace my beloved black stan smith 2′s (black perforated leather, WHAT!?), which I had two pairs of and have since worn into the ground.  Road tests to come. BOOM.
