Sneakers of Mine : Nike Charles Barkley


HISTORY: Released in 1993, Nike Air Force Max CB is the most sought after Charles Barkley shoes!! Own a piece of history!!

Since I was 7 i wanted a pair a black LA Gear MJ but my mum said "black is for boys" and I got a white and lillac pair (not exactly the same!!)
When I was 13 and really jealous of my brother's Nike shoes I convinced my mother to get me a pair of Nike; I felt in love with a pair of
Nike Maestro II Red but once again my mum said I would get sick of the color in 2 weeks (I still dream about that pair!).
So in the shoe shop I saw a pair of black Nike with a crossed top,really funcky.
I looked the sole and the back (like I usually do) and i found a 34 -Charles Barkley number.
For once my mum have agreed with me and i got my pair of Air Force Max CB,I was so proud to have my 1st black-basketball-sneakers,I wanted to put them on and go out to show everybody what a funky girl I was (IDIOT!!).
To be honest at that time I wasn't familiar with basketball game,I remebered Charles Barkley number cause my brother (the one i was jealous of) had few CB posters in his room!!

I think I still have that pair at my mum's place in one of my sneakers cabinet...for the time being I post this pics.

TIPS: figth hard to defende your taste and your sneakers!!!
