The Dead Are Eclipsed By The Moon

Maximum dweebage alert: after five months of wearing the shit out of these, I have now faced up to the fact that it's time to upgrade to another pair of kicks.

I had been mulling this decision over recently and had been thinking I'd just go simple and do standard all-white, but sure enough, arriving in my inbox today was a message from Hot Doorknobs saying:

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh boy. These have Beaumont written all over them."

And goddamned if he wasn't right, and these weren't exactly what I'm looking for. Black! Prisms and Rainbows! I don't really know how I could dream for these to be these any cooler. (Oh yeah, maybe if I could get a Converse version of these ones instead of the dreck produced by the talentless hacks at Nike.)

And boom, they are now mine:

I look forward to wearing these with suits to business meetings to show them what a "heady" business man I make. Harr harr ba zing. I just have to hope that they hold up better than the Dead Cons, because honestly, those shoes more or less began disintegrating after just two months of (admittedly heavy) wear. But at least they're all only $50, which in 2009 is super radical.

If Cons keeps pumping out the rock icons, I will keep rocking the pumps.
