DISMANTLE WHARF

My dad painted his old volleyball shoes with old bad brown house paint. He did not remove the laces.

Motive unclear.

This is a quintessential moment, a potent source of shared oral histories for generations to come.

The Day Of The Painted Shoes
That was when we knew, children

I think these look cool
Not inconceivable that something similar will someday be "on the runways"
Or perhaps will appear as a streetwear "drop" (or is it "drip"?)

Bad ass!

L! O! L!

Can we talk more about "Volleyball Shoes"?

Did he play recently? Indoor adult league?

I bet he's a real Karch Kiraly

Yeah I could super see these in a Kanye show, though they would need full paint coverage and less red saturation in the brown.

It's been probably 20 years since he's played, but when I was little he had a weekly volleyball night with friends, and occasional weekend meets. Yeah, indoor adult league.

I'm am really going back and forth on making this image the backdrop on my locked phone. I just don't think I will tire of looking at it.
Getting it onto my device is the real doozy. Can I just swipe it from my computer screen over to my phone if I hold them real close?

Oh boy

Should we all paint our shoes? I am willing. Could be a board solidarity project

!!!

DONE. A very big screenshot for proof.

Wonderful!

Very good

What a world we are living in! Now Phil can tell his dad that someone in Belgium has a picture of his shoes on their telephone

This is what technology was SUPPOSED to be for

Who in Belgium? I dunno, dad. Just some lady that some people I know, might know somehow. Geez.

Get Flip on the message board!

I think I’ll decline to mention it to him. He just got a cell phone and would probably cut the main power lines to his home if he learned his shoes were getting this kind of attention.

Did he paint them while wearing that? Feel like this could be a real fun whole family project, Phil.

Just an update for everyone. This is still my locked phone screen.
