Lately, I\u2019ve struggled a little bit trying to get back in to the groove of regular writing.\u00a0 Between the balancing act of trying do things whenever my child is napping, and the fact that I haven\u2019t really found a good rhythm or inspiration to write about things, I\u2019ve often times found myself sitting at my laptop with nothing much going on, other than scrolling through news sites and feeds to look for something to inspire me before ultimately killing time on YouTube watching chiropractor popping clips or scenes from Marvel<\/em> movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

But then I saw an ad, of all things, for Nike\u2019s Alphafly shoes.\u00a0 Supposedly, they\u2019re causing somewhat of a stir in the running community, and I guess there are some tryhard enthusiasts out there who think they\u2019re illegal or performance enhancing or something along those lines, but I can\u2019t really care enough to delve deeper because I can\u2019t really get over the fact of how fucking hideous they look.\u00a0 With their gigantic, bulbous and protruding soles, all I can think of is that they\u2019re basically the modern-day equivalent of the jump shoes from that one episode of Seinfeld<\/em><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, my mouth curled into a wtf face after I saw these things.\u00a0 I gave a cursory google search to see what they were even capable of, but there\u2019s so much noise and chatter about the legality of these things in organized marathons, that I can\u2019t actually find any credible information on what the whole point of these shoes actually are, nor do I feel like expending the effort to dig any deeper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, they\u2019re basically Seinfeld shoes, visually.\u00a0 And much like Kramer was pegged as looking like a special needs person when going out in public in them, I imagine anyone wearing these that isn\u2019t actively in a competitive run would probably look similarly having these thick-ass shoes on while wearing jeans or ordinary pants.\u00a0 But given the fact that they\u2019re like 3\u201d off the ground, I imagine a lot of height-conscious people might do it anyways, to make themselves look taller.\u00a0 That\u2019s the tradeoff however, for wanting to look taller than less mentally capable, I suppose.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
