AiA, you told me to buy some Maddens a long time ago which I did because there was no logical reason not to at the time. Anyway, when I was out the other week the person I was with asked me what kind of shoes I was wearing and when I said Maddens they were like

(if you ever have the misfortune of meeting me irl you'll know why, even if I'm wearing something label it's usually offset by like Levis or something schleppy) and as someone who lives his life on-script most of the time I appreciate moments where I can still surprise someone as they are rare events, so thanks.
