Saw this pic creep across my timeline (or is ‘feed’ the correct term) the other day, posted by @heskicks . Memories of college instantly flooded back. In 1998, I had just started freshman year at UC Santa Cruz and had like $300 to my name. For the first brilliant purchase of my adult life - I went out and purchased a pair of Nike Air Max tailwind 4s for $120 at footlocker at the Capitola Mall. Not this colorway, but more of a white/neon green/black colorway. Food be damned I had to have fresh kicks. Shortly after that dumbass purchase, I returned them for some cheaper Adidas Oswego’s (I only remember the name because my great grandmother lived on a street with the same name in Staten Island) that I then traded for some Puma RS100s. All the while wishing I kept the Tailwinds.
