I quit my day job in September and I have been half heartedly looking for a job while making less than a living doing photography. In that time I have stopped riding cabs, started eating a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and I completely stopped buying shoes. According to my blog, the last time I bought shoes was Aug 10th, which is just criminal. But I did buy two pairs on that day, including my all time favorite Nike Book Dunks. Anyway, I thought I was going to have some money after this Miami trip, but a broken lens and some unexpected expenses later I am completely fucking broke.  I am back on the job hunt. But, before I left I had my eyes set on the Air Jordan 1 rerelease quick strikes. They are the Opening Day pack and they are modeled after Jordan’s old minor league baseball team the Birmingham Barons. They feature the White Socks pin stripes with baseball stitching and crossed baseball bats that read BB 3 51, which after some investigation stand for Birmingham Barons and the 3 home runs and 51 RBI’s he hit.

Anyway, I had to have these shoes because I used to love Jordans as a kid and I have not rocked a pair in 15 years. They are mostly black which means they will match pretty much everything I wear and will be a good every day shoe and will let me wear my Nike Book’s a lot less which will hopefully keep them in better shape. I have absolutely no money now (at least until I get paid for Miami) and a lot of broken equipment. I will be eating a lot of PBJ over the next few weeks and looking for a day job, but at least I will have fresh kicks for my interview.
