My favourite pair of shoes was a pair of Green FILA shoes I had. They were nicknamed the 'FROGS.' Those were badass too.
I remember getting a pair of shoes in grade 2.. or I think it was in grade 2... anyways, they were called "Super Slams" or somesuch, but I was actually convinced that they would make me jump as high as I wanted to. I was very disappointed when I couldn't.
