Default When the Meme hits too close to home

Made me lol but also die a little inside, as this could have been specifically written about me...



Ever come across a meme that was too true to you?

Buying them is one thing, being gifted them is another - but main thing is you are on the way to earning the right to wear the NB on your side of your feet...soon-to-be-dad.

This is me although my used pair are two slightly different colours because the right one is a season older (blew the newer right one out)

I’d hope to not be caught dead wearing that particular footwear (?).


But this I can relate to ;)

Do they even make these things anymore?

We referred to Ripples as 50-50s, as that was the odds they gave ants.

Haven't seen ripples since the 80s (or desert boots for that matter - tried finding desert boots in the 90s to go with my safari suit for 70s fancy dress party).

My dad was a kt26 man, then a new balance man. My grandpa is still a nb man. My dads a bit too dead these days, but my grandpa has the nb's as walking shoes. So 95 and still kicking. My dad also liked tracksuits, so puma tops and bottoms stuff. My grandpa, hes a bit more old school and proper. So trousers, shirt, knitted jumper yet the new balance shoes.

Never took to the KT-26's, prior to the NB's my fav was the original blue stripe Adidas Rome's.

Good to know they are still made in Oz.

Must check the work ones out and stock up. I bought up a remaining supply of Australian made Oliver boots should last me the next three years. (I hope)

Love the Romes, can't believe they haven't had a revival.
Saw a guy at a BBQ about 5 years ago wearing a brand new pair, he got them in Europe on holidays.
