Analysis Of The Gray Lebron 12s
I had great fondness for my gray Lebron 12s. I had anticipated receiving them for Christmas for two whole weeks prior of the holiday. I wore them through strenuous basketball practices, hooping on concrete courts throughout West Newton, and whenever I journed on the trail with friends. I even wore them to notable occasions like funerals or parties. They were always in immaculate condition, until March…
Accordingly, I was sitting on my soft bed 14 hours before the clock struck 12 to signify that Christmas was here. The main thing I wanted was the shoes I saw on Finish Line’s website, the gray Lebron 12s. I wrote it in bold and in red ink on the very top line of my Christmas list. As I laid down, I was very anxious with anticipation.

With a huge smile plastered on my face, I peered into the living room looking for a shoe box shaped gift. I waited there for ages until my family finally awoke and arrived downstairs. I tore open every gift that said “From Santa, To Christian” in a red and green label on it. Searching viscously for the shoes, I saved the prodigious gifts for the end. After opening all my gifts, I was a little despondent. The shoes were nowhere to be found. My mother yelled for me from one of the rooms upstairs. She said to me, “I just found this last one and I has your name on it!” I tore it open and there they were. The gray Lebron 12s inside of a high quality black shoe box. In a state of euphoria, I thanked her and went downstairs to present them to the rest of my family. I tried them on and they fit perfectly and felt prominent on my …show more content…
They had incredible support and impeccable cushioning. I wore them when my family and I would go out to get nourishments, to go out to freelance, and in school. When they would become a little scuffed or unsanitary, I would take a rag and scour them off thoroughly to make them appear to be fresh out of the box. But one day, I made a bad decision. I wore them to the baseball fields on a somber day. Towards the back of the park is the fields that the older kids played games on. I saw my friends being sedentary in one of the pavilions. I rode over to them on my bike and sat down next to one of them on the old, brown bench. We were listening to music and talking about arbitrary things until one of them said that we should go in the pond. It was about 7:30 P.M. and it was getting dark out. The sun was setting on the horizon as he stepped into the brown, murky water that the ducks swam in. There is also turtles in that pond, but we did not know that back then. He hollered back at us, “Y'all got to do it too now!” Without hesitation, my friend and I hopped off the bench and walked into the water. It was frigid to start out, but after about two minutes it became warmer. With goosebumps down my arms, I had fun throwing a football back and forth in the water with them. I had to go because it was getting late and as soon as I stepped out it hit me. I had left my shoes on. I looked down and I saw my shoes go from

    During his time playing basketball Jordan had many endorsements none bigger than his Nike deal which changed the landscape of how endorsements worked in the NBA. “Jordan took the court his rookie year in 1984 in a pair of red and black Air Jordan’s, which matched the Bulls’ uniforms, but did not feature any white per NBA protocol. The league banned the shoes and fined Michael $5,000 every game for wearing them. Nike covered the fines and capitalized on the attention” (Badenhausen).

    “You’ll never be able to run long distances again” A quote from my doctor when I was first diagnosed with both a tarsal and calcaneal coalition in my left foot. The first thought that came to my head was start digging my grave now. Monday through Saturday for me are spent at the gym or on the tennis court. If I am not training, I am teaching the sport I continue to admire since fifth grade. Those nine words rang through my ears like fingernails on a chalk board. He proceeded to place me in a cast then a few weeks later into an air cast. I viewed this as a small bump in the road and continued to strengthen my upper body and core despite my highly fashionable boot. Two months later my highly optimistic self headed to my “final” doctor appointment to be told I need to continue to wear the air cast. That day I recall telling myself “deep breaths Grace”…

    Now all I am missing was my own set of cleats. I bothered my mother on numerous occasions to get me some new cleats. We were planning to stop by at Sport Authority to get the shoes, but it was later found out that it was going out of business. The only other major sport store was Dick’s Sporting Good. Finally, yesterday we were able to go to Dick’s. There was a big tent outside in the parking lot where a large sign labeled “Clearance Sale” was hanged. Mother and I went inside of the tent and looked around. I saw a bright neon green pair of cleats and I quickly put them on. It fitted snugly and I was pleased how they look. I could not wait to go home and give a few kicks to the soccer ball. We also went inside the store to get me a new pair of running shoes. Mother found a red pair, and that also fitted accordingly to my feet. Mother was even planning to buy another pair to replace my sneakers. She said what I have right now was too heavy and she found a suitable candidate. There was a large weight difference, but it was a bit too big on me. It was unfortunate, but there were two other Dick’s Sport stores and the option of ordering the right sizes…
