2 Personal Observations upon reading the Sunday Times

Posted in journalism, literature, observations, sneakers by Josh Kimball on February 10th, 2008

1) It appears that Ernest Hemingway is wearing Jack Purcell sneakers in this pic. Note the smile on the toe. Yes, BADMINTON SHOES.

2) Idly glancing at the back page of the New York Times‘ Week in Review section, I came across an interesting consumption-oriented article that’s directly pertinent to my work life (You Are What You Spend).

Also noted was how awesomely awesome the accompanying charts and graphs were. Their maker = Nicholas Felton, a designer who helped us out at my day job a couple years ago by recording a short video for one of our conferences. You should consider buying his annual report.

    None of this is as strange as the fact that you can recognize BADMINTON SHOES from photographs. Scratch the Listenerd, find a shoe-phile!

    The smile on the toe is VERY recognizable, Startling Moniker.
