It's one of a kind shoe! My all time favorite feet cover and partner to my any type of attire. I wear it with jeans, shorts, slocks and even with boxer brief (lol). I bought this Classic Black Chuck Taylor shoes in Olympic Village 4 years ago. The store was on sale so I decided to buy a pair. I named it "OLI" came from the store where I bought it. I have, I think 6 pairs of sneakers in different kinds and brands stuck in my closet but I its my OLI that I always want to wear and because of frequent use I never thought that it will last for more than a year. Happy Birthday to my 4 year old "OLI"! How about you? How many pairs of shoes do you have? What's your favorite among them? I really want to know who among in this site will break a 4 year old chuck record! How old was your yours?

You name your shoes? I don't. But I think its not a problem. Congratulations for your good buy. I actually have just 4 pairs of shoes right now. I even have this 1 year old unused adidas shoes. I don't really want to wear it but I would like to.

Too funny! Are you going to have a cake for your sneakers? Or will you have to have two cakes because it's a pair? Ha ha! I actually just chucked some shoes . . . one was a pair of high heels from Mexico that a friend gave me . . . I think they were given to me about 6 or 7 years ago - but they hurt when I wore them last weekend - so bye bye to them. I also chucked these bad shoes I got from Payless about a year ago. Oh - and there is another pair I chucked simply because they were getting so tattered - I probably got them about 4-5 years go after my daughter was born - and sadly these were my favorite. They were sneakers, but with no ankles - so I can just slip them on - they were sooooo comfortable. But - time to let go!! I can't really say I broke your record because I don't know their real birthdays like you do - hee hee.

I'm very much detailed about my things. I don't know why but I always keep all the receipts I bought specially those things that came from my salary. I browsed my book of receipts and I found out that this is that day I bought "OLI". ;)

Oli is with me where ever I go. She knew all the places I go that no other people know. You're right, I knew it wont give up on me, cause we still have a long way to run. ;)

Unfortunately, Ondoy got the best of my oldest chucks... my brother bought it for me 5 years ago as a bday gift but it got torn near the sole when I wore it after Ondoy

Oh congratulations. You are very carefree with your things and that sneaker lasted for 4 years, that is wonderful. About my shoes, i have so many pairs of shoes however they are all destroyed and some were drowned during the high flood of Ondoy. I only have one pair of closed shoes, sandals, flip flops and rubber shoes. I am not that kind who likes collecting shoes as my money is not enough for me to buy materials things.I am satisfied with 2 pairs of shoes now as I bought this one, branded and with high quality. However, I forgot how old they are.

Happy birthday to your sneaker! i can't seem to keep a shoe long enough to get old. My wear and tear on shoes is considerable. i am always getting a new pair of sneakers because they are falling apart. Good luck to your and your sneaker and have a great day together!

I have two shoes colored maroon and white and they're as the same age as my daughter; imagine 24 years old and they're still good. I keep them because they're real leather. I have a sneaker too older than yours. I bought it five years ago.

Lol! well first of all I can't believe you still remember what day you bought them. I have about ten pairs of shoes and my oldest pair I've had for about 5 years or so. Their chucks too and their pink and black. Though they're still in good condition since I wear them only sometimes and they also fit me a little tight but not enough to make my feet ache.
