This guy was a neighbor of mine at an apartment where I live at a few years ago. He was a military cop and had a country white-boy name like Brett or something similar. "Brett" seemed like a cool guy gauging from the few times we spoke, however we both worked revolving schedules and only ran into each other once in awhile. He usually parked his truck near mine on the street and I noticed that he always had athletic gear on the seats: jerseys, baseball mitts, cleats, football helmets, etc. This fucker played a lot of sports. I wanted to get at that some that shit and frequently checked to see if would ever forget to lock his doors, or maybe even put some used shoes/cleats in the bed...never did:( One day, I saw him out doing laundry and the black leather basketball shoes he was wearing caught my eye. They looked pretty awesome so I stopped to compliment and then offered to buy them (AND1 Rocket 2.0 patent leather). He said that they were his beaters and really didn't want to let 'em go. Again, I offered to pay cash but he still shrugged it off. Being a neighbor I didn't want to be too pushy and make things awkward. I thought I'd get another chance to pressure him into selling, however that never came to fruition. Shortly after, I got back to my place where one of the bedrooms overlooked the laundry shack from the 2nd floor. I set up my iPhone and waited to get some shots...I took a few photos and a video which turned out well. He was still wearing those AND1's sockless as you can see.
As a side note and kind of unrelated to this: When "Brett" first moved in he was single and sort of kept to himself. Later on, he found some local country girl who he frequently had over on the weekends. It was fucking awesome to overhear him smash the shit outta her some nights...he'd leave the (front) windows open (due to the way the breeze flowed, or didn't flow, through our courtyard-style building). My guess is that they didn't realize that they could be heard even though they were in bedroom with the doors closed. I moved out a few months after he moved in; haven't seen him since.
