Nike causes a nose bleed

In what I can only chalk up to a severe breakdown of the neural networks that govern the way values are held I went and did the unthinkable. I bought a pair of AirCutBackCanvases. I actually bought a pair of Nikes. I have never before in my seventeen years of wearing sneakers owned or at least willingly purchased a brand other than Converse. After all, there is no other that exudes coolness as does the Cons label. To soften the blow some what I relinquished my GamesForce2000 voucher in the breaking of the decency barrier. For some unknown reason the checkout girl insisted on knowing my postal code. After much questioning of the sanity of the store, I yielded. It's just four numbers after all. No sooner had I left the threshold of Rebel Sport did a nose bleed ensue as I waited for the train home.

Could it be that the Converse gods were unhappy with my choice of footwear? I do believe so. In any case, I shall never purchase Nikes ever again. Coupon or no.
