money and i were talking about sneakers when he brought up the white cement iii’s. he has a pair from 2011, and i do, too. only thing is, i haven’t worn mine. well, i have and i haven’t. i bought 2 pairs in 2011, my senior year of highschool. i camped out in my car overnight to purchase both pairs. i remember showing up at 2am, going to the harris teeter across from cary towne center, getting an issue of rolling stone with lil wayne on the cover, and reading it until the mall opened up. when the mall opened up, i walked in finish line. there were already 3 people in line. when it was my turn, i asked for two size 11’s. the guy behind me said he was a size 11 and they only had two left, so i bought a size 11 and a size 11.5. the guy asked me credit or debt, but since i didn’t have either, i told him cash. i still have the receipt and everything from that morning 12 years ago. it’s been a while since i looked at my white cements, but it’s definitely a blast from the past. what’s crazy is the white cements are rereleasing in march, so you know i’ll be on the lookout.
here’s to hoping i can get my hands on a pair, as well as the next 12 years not going as fast as these previous 12.
