Alright, let’s talk about these Fruity Pebbles LeBron 11s. Man, these shoes are something else. I remember seeing them online and thinking, “I gotta get my hands on those.” So, I started hunting.
First, I checked out all the usual spots, you know, the big shoe stores and some online retailers. No luck. These things were like ghosts. Then I hit the forums and sneakerhead groups. Found a few leads, but most of them were dead ends or way overpriced.
Finally, I stumbled upon this guy in a Facebook group who was selling his pair. They were used, but in pretty good condition. We chatted for a bit, and I managed to negotiate a decent price. It was still a bit more than I wanted to pay, but hey, these are rare.
I sent him the money through PayPal, fingers crossed the whole time. A week later, the package arrived. I ripped that box open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there they were, in all their colorful glory.
The shoes were even better in person. The colors just popped, and the details were insane. I carefully inspected them, making sure everything was legit. No obvious red flags, seemed pretty authentic to me.
Cleaning Them Up
Since they were used, I gave them a good cleaning. Started with a soft brush to get rid of any loose dirt. Then, I mixed some warm water with a bit of dish soap and gently scrubbed the entire shoe. For the soles, I used a magic eraser, which worked wonders on those stubborn marks.
After cleaning, I let them air dry for a day. Once they were completely dry, I sprayed them with a protective coating, just to keep them looking fresh. It was time-consuming, but totally worth it in the end.
Trying Them On
Finally, the moment of truth. I laced them up and put them on. They fit perfectly. And they were surprisingly comfortable. I walked around the house, admiring them in the mirror. These shoes are definitely head-turners.
Wearing them out was a whole other experience. People were stopping me on the street, asking about them. I felt like a mini-celebrity. It’s crazy how a pair of shoes can make you feel.
Taking Pictures
- Got my phone out and started snapping some pics.
- Took some close-ups of the details, the colors, the logos.
- Also took some shots of me wearing them, you know, for the ‘gram.
- Spent a good hour just taking pictures from different angles.
- Wanted to make sure I captured every single detail of this shoe.
All in all, getting these Fruity Pebbles LeBron 11s was a journey. But it was totally worth it. They’re not just shoes; they’re a statement. And I’m stoked to have them in my collection.
