i want to like the "Varsity Red" lows, but i can't
Last week I was waiting for my girl while she was looking at shoes in a department store. I've never seen JB shoes at that store, but I decided to casually ask the saleslady if they might be getting any Varsity Red lows. She didn't know what I was talking about, so I showed her a picture of the shoes on my phone. The lady walks into the back stockroom to check with her co-worker and their conversation goes something like this...
Worker #1: "Hey, are we getting any white and red Nike lowtops?"
Worker #2: "What are they called?"
Worker #1: "I don't know, the customer just showed me a pic"
Worker #2: "Well, what do they look like?"
Worker #1: "White and red..... like the Forrest Gump sneakers."
Worker #2: "Nah, I don't think so. Tell them to try Footlocker."
My girl overhead this and fell out laughing! Now all I hear from her whenever she sees me checking the Varsity Reds online is,
"My name's Forrest, Forrest Gump."
