Adidas Springblade Sneakers Size 5 1/2 (38)
Adidas Springblade Sneakers Size 5 1/2 (38) new to me but well worn.
I've seen this style from time to time, but never thought much about them until when I was in the Caribbean recently, and a friend there wore a pair, which had seen better days. Several of the blades or teeth had snapped off, in different places on the left and right shoes. It didn't seem to bother him, it just looked interesting to my trained eye. I never did get to ask him how they got broken off.
Then I saw someone else here on flickr who took some photos of a pair, and I thought it would be interesting to try them. Shortly thereafter I was able to get this well worn but very serviceable pair in the size I've come to wear most routinely. They are actually quite comfortable, I like them.
Now this pair is well worn, the rubber pads on the bottoms of the blades are worn smooth and thin, they are worn completely away on some of the edges, and have partly peeled off a couple of the front teeth, exposing the hard plastic, which makes them rather slippery sometimes on hard surfaces. But I plan to get good wear out of these.
