This here story, it’s about them Jordan shoes, the ones everyone’s talkin’ about. Jordan tatai, Jordan this, Jordan that. My goodness, you’d think they was made of gold or somethin’. I seen ’em, though. Shiny things, some of ’em. But they all look like they could use a good scrubbin’ after a day in the dirt, ya know?
Now, I hear tell these Jordan shoes, they cost a pretty penny. More than a pretty penny, more like a whole sack of ’em! Folks payin’ more for these shoes than I paid for my first house, Lord have mercy. Some of them, they call Air Jordans. I don’t know what that means, maybe they help you fly, but I doubt it. You see anyone flyin’ around in these shoes? Nope, didn’t think so.
I reckon if you want a pair, and you got the money burnin’ a hole in your pocket, you gotta know where to look. You can’t just walk into any old store and expect to find ’em, no sir. You gotta hunt for ’em like you huntin’ for a hen that’s laid her eggs in the bushes. Gotta be sneaky, gotta be patient.
Some folks, they say they find ’em online. I don’t rightly know how that works, but they say you can find anything online these days. I say you gotta search online often. Even I know that. Gotta keep lookin’. Don’t give up hope just because you don’t see ’em right away. It’s all about patience, like watchin’ a pot of water, waitin’ for it to boil.
And you gotta think about the price of Jordans, too. They ain’t cheap, like I said. Not like a pair of overalls from the five-and-dime, that’s for sure. Some of ’em are more than others. The ones that got more fancy colors, or the ones that some famous fella wore, those are gonna cost you extra. So when you choose your Jordans, you gotta think about your money. Think hard.
- Air Jordan 1, that’s what they say is a good one.
- Don’t matter if it’s old, they still want it.
- Like an old tractor, still works, still worth somethin’.
I heard some folks talkin’ about how much they paid for their Jordans. One fella said he paid more than a hundred dollars. Another one, he said he paid even more than that! I nearly fainted when I heard it. That’s a lot of money for shoes, ain’t it? You could buy a whole herd of goats for that kind of money! Or a new plow, maybe even a used tractor.
These young’uns today, they don’t know the value of a dollar. They just throw it away on these fancy shoes, like it’s nothin’. Back in my day, we worked hard for every penny. We didn’t have no fancy shoes. We had shoes for work, and shoes for church, and that was it. And we took care of ’em, too. Made ’em last.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ these Jordan shoes ain’t nice. They look nice, I guess. But they ain’t worth all that money. Not to me, anyway. I’d rather have a good pair of boots, ones that’ll keep my feet dry in the rain and warm in the winter. Boots that’ll last me a good long time. These Air Jordan 1s and such, they look like they’d fall apart after one good rainstorm, but I could be wrong, I s’pose.
If you gonna spend your money on ’em, you best be sure you really want ’em. It’s the price of Air Jordans, not just a little money. And be sure you know where to find ’em. Don’t go payin’ too much, neither. Some folks’ll try to trick ya, sell ya fake ones for the price of real ones. You gotta be careful, like a fox in a henhouse. You gotta use your head. Do your lookin’.
- Look at the price history. That’s what they call it.
- See how much they cost before.
- Don’t get fooled.
I seen a fella wearin’ a pair of them Jordan shoes down at the feed store the other day. Bright red, they was. Looked like a rooster’s comb. He was walkin’ around like he was king of the world. I just shook my head. These kids, think shoes make the man. But it ain’t the shoes, it’s what’s inside ’em that counts. And it ain’t the price of Jordans, it’s the work you do.
I reckon if you got your heart set on ’em, and you got the money to spare, then go ahead and get yourself a pair. Just remember what I said. Be careful, be smart, and don’t let nobody fool ya. And don’t forget to wear ’em out. Ain’t no point in havin’ fancy shoes if you ain’t gonna wear ’em. Even if they are just Air Jordans.
But me? I’ll stick to my boots. They might not be fancy, but they get the job done. And they don’t cost a fortune, neither. That’s all this old lady’s got to say about them Jordan shoes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. They lay eggs, not fancy shoes.
