I acquired this pair of skate shoes from my cousin Connor, who inherited them from our cousin Mike, who purchased them in the spirit of irony from the now defunct gospelshoes.com, circa 2003 as I recall. Mike (not a skater or bike rider) wore them around on occasion. Connor never did. I intended to use them for riding, but there's just no way I can swing a size thirteen. So they've sat in my closet for a year, and now I'd rather have the space.
If any bike rider would like to have these, just paypal me the shipping cost, and they're yours. Email me to sort out the details.
While I'm not fundamentally opposed to Christianity or organized religion (I'm a practicing Baha'i), I am amazed and amused by the bald-faced commercialization of sacred things. I'd like to meet whomever designed these shoes.
"So," I'd say. "You stamped the Lord's name on a product destined to be smeared with mud and dog shit. How reverent."
He who owneth a pair of GospelShoes shall be looked upon favorably by our kind lord. So it was written. Good luck Tone, and for whoever is blessed with ownership of these, recognize game.
