AmandaDude, I don’t know i’m not really into sneakers. I just buy them because I like them, and I’m always the only one wearing sneakers everywhere I go. But I’m not like into sneakers, like “oh I really want these sneakers” to me they’re more functional. I wear them because they’re comfortable, easy, because they’re good to walk in. I always have them on at parties, when everybody else is wearing flats. I go to work with them, I always have them on.

AmandaThis New Balance I bought specifically for a two month backpacking trip, i did in Asia. I needed a good shoe to walk in, and that would go with everything, so I only brought him and a pair of flip flops for the whole two months. It has lots of stories to tell because I really wore it a lot.

AmandaThis sneaker has been through so much, from meditating with monks in the Indian countryside, to running from policeman during protests, it really has a lot of stories.

AmandaThe protest story is cool, we went to a “Fora Temer” protest, and out of nowhere the police opened fire, and like always everyone started running, and I was wearing these sneakers. The policeman even pointed the gun at me and yelled “run! Dammit! Run!”. And I was choked. (laughs)
