"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want,
So tell me what you want, what you really really want,
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
really really wanna...." (Spice Girls "Wannabe")
I'll tell you what I want, I want these frickin shoes by Jeremy Scott. I started researching Jeremy Scott for Adidas last night because I found a picture of the rainbow Wing shoes he did for them and I went insane. I almost jumped for joy all the way onto my ceiling. I have to fess up to being a sneaker head. I used to spend most of my money on Rudolf Dassler Pumas, Nike SBs (i.e. Gibson edition--yes I bought those), etc and so when I found a picture of the Teddybear sneakers last night I was floored. I also happen to be into Tokyo pop art and Harajuku culture and nothing screams it more than these kicks. I found this info out from none other than Sneaker Freaker, the coolest sneaker magazine ever!

The reason why I love these sneaker and have to have them is because they have something sentimental for me. When I was ten years old I went to an arcade game place (before Dave and Buster's and Gameworks were in existence) called Enchanted Castle. I got enough tickets to win a pink bear, which I named Beary Bear and I was inseparable from him. He was my best friend. As the years wore on, Beary Bear got more and more gray. I still have him, wrapped in one of my baby blankets and he still smells like my childhood. So for me these shoes are very special. Also these shoes are unbelievably freaky and Japaneseque and for that reason they have to be mine.
