i love these shoes. i've wanted them since i was 16. they're rainbow, onitsuka tiger, asics. they don't really exist anymore, although i did find some on ebay for $100....rough.













side note of the week:
i am still not unpacked and i've been home for a month. i'm in the guest room, one bed is for sleeping, the other bed houses my suitcases and every piece of clothing i own. it's a bit ridiculous. but i'm still just happy to be home.
