I haven't worn sneakers in years but during the pandemic, I picked up some comfy AllBirds and love them! It's so hard to wear "real" shoes with a heel and thin leather sole now.

My favorite of the 3 pairs you listed are the Veja Recifes. I don't follow fashion much so I didn't realize they were trendy. I like the look and the accent color.

I chuckled when I saw the first pair of shoes, as I remember having a pair of those Reebok Princess sneakers back in middle school in the 1980s. The second pair of Nikes make me think of my dad's bulky shoes in the 90s...

Thanks for the nostalgic story!
