I think I could definately mess with these. Yes, yes, yes wise blaggers and blaggettes, these Chocolate x Devine Calloway mids are lank old. But 2008 is not that far back for me to whip these out, is it? And the dope thing about these, aside from the comfy interior (a skaters dream), is the removable ankle strap. No velcro was killed during the making of these kicks because the strap has snap-ons so you can adjust the grip without fabric and dirt stucking to it. Dope, right?
When I had a desk job I used to sit at my 9to5 thinking of rad lines and drooling over sneakers I liked. We never did get the sticky saliva out of the crevices of the keyboard but that's a story for another day. Anyway, behind me, in our little silos, sat a woman who has short biscuit brown hair and a love for flat shoes. Her husband was (maybe he still is, I don't know) a big wig at Etnies and she was the sample size.
If you have been reading theblagg for a bit you will know that I am far from sample size. So the more casual our corporate environment got, the greener I went. Biscuit babe soon moved to Cape Town and I left the company too but I'll never forget feeling like I had to own a pair of Etnies some day. Girl's shoes are problematic for me (another thing you know if you're a blagger or blaggette) so I never saw a pair I would give up Milky Bars for. Until now.
This chocolate will do me just fine. Wait. Nevermind. Those in the know tell me this is a collabo between Chocolate Skateboards and Etnies. Skater, Devine Calloway, left DC shoes to endorse Etnies five years after he'd joined Chocolate. And this was the result of these partnerships. Enough of the history lesson. I really like these mids, what do you guys think?
