OMG - DS is wanting new basketball shoes. They don't come cheap. One of his buddies showed him the Nike site where you can customize your own shoes. Now, we had planned to give all three kids money for Christmas - a bit more than the shoes cost. So he's asked if we can order the shoes instead, as they take 3-5 weeks to customize. So he sits down, and is going through all the options and calls us over to see them when he's done. Good Lord - that boy had chosen a different colour/pattern for every single part that was customizable! We reeled him in, and now the shoes don't quite explode your eyes when you look at them. I told DH we needed to tell him just because it CAN be set to something, doesn't mean it HAS to be! LOL On the plus side, I can get to the site through ebates, AND they qualify for free shipping! So a good deal in the end for sure, and he's super happy with his design. (so are we now that we won't be cross-eyed while watching him play )

OMG mimima - he had glow in the dark speckles on the back half of the sole, and some kind of black & white patter on the front half of the sole, red insides, black & white mesh for the tops of the shoe and a gold Nike check mark, and then patterned black & white laces! We've dialed him back to all black soles, the black & white mesh uppers, a red Nike check with red inside the shoes. SO much easier on the eyes!

There is a kid in my town who customized a pair. I'm pretty sure I lost some of my vision after seeing them! I think they CAN be cool! But, I'm with you! Just because you can.....
