Alright, let’s gab about them black Air Force One gum sole shoes, ya know, the ones all the young’uns are wearin’ these days. I seen ‘em around, and they got me thinkin’. Heard some folks sayin’ they got theirs for cheap, like forty bucks. Forty bucks! That ain’t bad, I tell ya. Though, I don’t rightly know what that “little metal thing” they talkin’ about is. Sounds fancy, I reckon.
Now, these shoes, they black as night, most of ‘em. But then they got that gum sole, that brown rubbery stuff on the bottom. Folks seem to like it. Say it makes the shoe look better, even if the color ain’t nothin’ special otherwise. They call it “tan-shade rubber” some places, soundin’ all highfalutin. But it’s just plain ol’ brown to me. But hey, if it makes a shoe look better, who am I to argue? It’s like puttin’ lipstick on a pig, but in a good way, ya know?
- The Look: They mostly black, like I said, but that gum sole, that’s what makes ‘em stand out, I guess. Some folks like the “stealthy Triple Black” look, but want a little somethin’ different, a little bit of color. That brown sole does the trick.
- The Feel: Heard tell they a bit big, these shoes. So if you wear a ten, maybe you gotta get a smaller one. I dunno, never wore ‘em myself. But that’s what they sayin’. Made outta leather, too, or somethin’ that looks like leather. Folks call it “synthetic leather,” whatever that means. Sounds fancy again.
- The Wear: Now, this is important. They say the black color hides the dirt and scuffs real good. That’s a good thing, ‘cause who wants dirty shoes? Not me, that’s for sure. And they say you can wear ‘em with just about anythin’, from your work clothes to your Sunday best. That’s handy, not havin’ to change shoes all the time.
Some folks are real crazy ‘bout these shoes, makin’ videos and such. Tellin’ everybody to “hit that LIKE button” and “leave a comment.” I don’t rightly know what all that means, but they sure are passionate ‘bout it. They even talk about “colorways” and such. I figure that just means the different colors the shoes come in. They got all sorts of names for ‘em, like “Linen.” That one’s popular, they say. Got a color that goes with everything. Sounds practical, I like practical.
Now, I heard tell that sometimes the soles on shoes turn yellow. Somethin’ about air and dirt, I reckon. They say you can clean ‘em, but they might not ever look brand new again. That’s a shame. But with these black Air Force One gum soles, the sole is already brown, so maybe that ain’t such a problem. That’s a point in their favor, I’d say.
So, all in all, these shoes seem alright. They practical, they look decent enough, and folks seem to like ‘em. If you need a good pair of shoes that’ll go with most anythin’, and you don’t mind that brown sole, then these might be just the ticket. And if you can get ‘em for forty bucks, well, that’s a steal, ain’t it? Just make sure you get the right size, ‘cause they run big, or so they say. And don’t worry too much about the dirt, that black color hides it good. That’s what I’ve gathered, anyway, from listenin’ to folks talk and readin’ a bit here and there. They seem like a good, sturdy shoe for everyday wear, and that gum sole adds a little somethin’ special, I guess. They even say it makes the sneaker better! So there ya have it, my two cents on them black Air Force One gum sole shoes.
Now I gotta get back to my chores. All this talk about shoes is makin’ my feet tired! But if you’re lookin’ for a decent pair, these seem like a good bet. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be alright.
