I once saw a pair of red Adidas shoes (much different from these) in a shop in Vancouver while on vacation that really caught my eye. They were quite expensive so I didn't buy them. But upon returning home, I search and searched online for these shoes, trying to find them at a better price but couldn't find them AT ALL! Only in blue or black, which I didn't want. All this searching made me realize that I really wanted them and would now pay the price I saw them for at the shop. Obviously the next time I returned to Vancouver a few years later they weren't there. But I'm like you and rarely wear red clothing, seems to attention-getting for me. But I LOVED these shoes. Couldn't remember the name but some 10 minutes of dedicated web searching revealed that they were called Trophy TR. Here they are in black, imagine in red with white stripes. This is the ONE picture available of them online in any color.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
