My parents read the Inky. Sometimes I occasionally page through it. Sometimes (more like almost never) something catches my eye. Well, the other day, I ran my greasy finger across this little article about AF1′s. It’s not really that interesting of a read, but it kind of sheds a new light on the whole sneaker craze. Now that it’s in a not-well respected paper that only older people read, has sneakerfiendin’ gone mainstream? It’s difficult to say. AF1′s have been around for a while, and I don’t want to dampen their 25th anniversary by saying that I think sneakerfiendin’ is about to dance with death as it’s brought into mainstream culture. But, I just said that exact thing. Happy Birthday, AF1!!!!
