Reykjavik…Iceland

well, the other well-known brooks endorser in my childhood, way before ‘nique, was yankess 3rd baseman craig nettles. he had the ill golden glove on the hot corner, and dove either side. he was a ‘human highlight film’ himself, for real. when i played little league baseball with the angelo’s braves in central park in ‘77, my choice of cleat was brooks, yo. word up. copped them down at paragon’s on 18th and b’way, which is a pillar of nyc sneaker history for those who don’t know. they’ve been there i think for 80 years selling kicks and sports equipment. my cousin’s boyfriend ray texador worked there. that’s how i got up on nike franchise and adidas top tens in ‘81. they had all the real deal performance hi-tops. still a good shop if you want to catch your friends with a curveball squash low cut or other ridiculousness. shhhhhhh

Anyhow, viva my man Doc Rivers….
The Human Highlight Film lives on…
I knew no one that owned Brooks.
Not even the girl running shoes they had.
Wacksauce kicks right there.
Spudd’s Pony’s too yo!!!

And the Brooks kicks bring back memories.

Thanks for bringing that back into my consciousness. Dominique and those Brooks joints had the old Omni on fire!
