Cambridge With Sneakers

I walked by and stopped in front of this store window in Cambridge. If you can love a picture of sneakers, can it be far off to imagine that others would love the sneakers themselves?

I mean, these sneakers are illustrated like a modern day Botticelli was interpreting their beauty as an object of art. This is why I love traveling. I get to a place and am swept into visuals that are new to me. 

I was in Cambridge, intellectual capital of the Northeast. And here I was, in front of my urban museum window exhibiting a relic of our daily culture. Amazing that sneakers could be transformed into a whimsical item of an almost painterly ideal.

Then I saw the line.  A really long line.

So I had to ask the first person on line, "What are you waiting for?"

"Limited edition", he replied.

Wow, limited edition sneaks. 

I travelled across the street. The line seemed to be elongating. I wanted to keep walking now that I found Cambridge With Sneakers. Maybe the next corner would bring another unexpected surprise. 

Epilogue: Once back at my computer I read up on Concepts, the store that first caught my eye. Next trip I am going to pay them a visit. They are all about Limited Editions, by various shoe companies. So their stock is really interesting and always changing. Another thing I love about traveling. Finding new stores!
