I love how down to earth you are at all times Chris but I truly have to disagree on the idea that "anybody can do this". Because "anybody" doesn't have the same passion, drive, knowledge and delivery of knowledge as you, as far as sneakers are concerned. It's called "being a master at storytelling" and you excel at that and that's what I am a fan of.

It's really weird, isn't it? I too, being older, find that the more the cushy the cushion, the more my knees hurt. Had to get rid of a full mid-sole Boost shoe a while ago since I couldn't even walk around in them for an hour. I too, have gravitated to newer shoes that either have Bounce if adidas (or Bounce-like), or a firmer set-up cushioning. Btw, I can walk around in my retro New Balances (old school foam, ie, DEAD cushioning) ALL day with no joint complaints even though I have clinically BAD knees...

Hey Nightwing! Idk if you know the shoe retail Sole Supremacy, but I had contacted them a while back when I had bought a pair of Kobe V Chaos but they were a size too small, and asked if I could trade mine in for a size up. Depending on the condition of the shoe they might ask you to pay a little, but for my shoes they were brand new and they did an even trade. I had to pay for shipping, but I felt like it was worth it to get one of my grails! Hope this helps!
