We need some help in the shoe department. Please.

January 29, 2009 Leave a Comment

Mitchell & I went shopping yesterday. We were looking at some shoes and discussing which we liked the best. There was a pair of Vans with some cool details on the sides.

“I like these best” Mitch says, pointing to the shoes, “The ones with the Space Invaders on the sides.”

Oh no, no, no.

“Mitch, those aren’t Space Invaders… it’s called houndstooth.”

I guess I can see how he got a classic video game and a classic pattern mixed up… Houndstooth is one of my favorites, and I’ll never be able to look at it the same way again.
