Where I live it's mostly older women wearing the bright white, sports-like sneakers. So I see nothing shocking or funny about this, unless you somehow feel $100 Nikes have suddenly become a serious shoe that only a sneaker aficionado would buy.

If you haven't noticed, there is often a surprising amount of similarity between the dress of the elderly and that of children.

well, it might be that these shoes were relatively limited at release, and moderately expensive. i doubt that she just happened to stumble across these while shopping. so yes, this picture is amusing. you are being an asshole by dismissing everything about this picture, and these shoes DO hold relevance in the history of basketball/popular culture. if you don't like the shoes, don't comment. there's no reason to bash the taste of others.

+1. Jordan IIIs are not your typical Air Max or Dunks. They are released in very limited quantities that usually sell out immediately and can only be had elsewhere for $250-$300. And that's not even talking about the originals (Not re-releases). Much more $$$

+1, I have not been interested in sneakers since I was a kid. I am sure many of you guys were "sneakersheads" at one point in time.
