i’ma miss the a’ones but i was just a “never was decent” park baller so i didn’t deserve them. the sneakers in the picture above, as i will mention a few times in this article are the jordan t-runners in hot pink, hot punk, i’m like 5’2″ working harder then everybody on the track but still killin’ and cocky. one look and you know these are more suited for miss richardson’s trips to the mall and team screamin’ on the benches than the track. but this is for all of y’all, you know. these are the most stylish of the sample, the jordan t-runner LX. and with mr. jordan temporarily printing money raining various sku’s of jordans and jordan branded sneakers on us every week i will repeat this, as a person who was forcibly relieved of his jogging habit, all the t runner LX is good for is chillin’ at the mall… that’s it. the sku pictured below, i’m not sure because i never ran in them. but… to his credit it seems mr. jordan and his team have attempted to develop viable jogging shoes for those of us blessed enough to develop and enjoy a running hobby and enjoy how close you feel to God when that rhythmic breathing and movement are going on, to grow and appreciate different temperatures of air when that God given evolution occurs in your lungs from carefully layered new york winters to shirtless florida summer dawns… it’s better than sex if you can’t have it. i personally believe it makes more sense than mantras and chakras and so forth and that’s probably why i moved to a hick suburb and got stopped. in my “want to be athletic monk” phase the sublimation was real, i still like to refer to it as my “athletic meditation,” slow pace, rhythmic movement, controlled breathing, come spend an hour with me in the “zone” on my cheap treadmill, medium paced sprints as desired. however, most serious joggers would turn their noses up at jordan branded running shoes when it comes time before dawn to hit that track… i mean you technically can run in anything, not saying it’s wise to. let’s talk about pronation and supination and the clinic that you are going to have with your physical therapist when your coach okays you to do this… did i mention i got fired from footlocker? don’t mind me… but we were talking about jogging shoes right. when i was on my way to getting fired from footlocker the big deal was about which way your feet had a tendency to lean to when you ran, then they broke it down to pronation and supination… pronation being leaning inward and supination being outward if i’m remembering this correctly. mr. jordan’s team seems to have come up with a sublime panacea for all runners, they will swear this… lemme show you. so i’ve been out of the game for a while as to telling you how i feel but it’s either brilliant, or straight up game for an athlete that doesn’t view his shoes as part of his toolset. in that case, why should he care? you have no cause for complaint, get the t-runners and jog in new balances. however i can guarantee you the sneakers below are more supportive than the t’s, the question is… are they for you? back in the days, when sport r&d was huge, running shoes used to come out in numerous sku’s and patents fighting for market share. that rigid brace around the mesh of the sneaker as i see it is supposed to compensate for all errant strides and it’s either brilliant, or apathetic. you and your c-note are going to have to determine that. are pronation and supination still a thing or when i was selling kicks was that just b.s. to move units? i mean the man knows all he has to do is put his name on something and it’s the new slang. these will set you back a cool 115$.
