[1965gp]

I was on a customer trip last week and while we are sitting around drinking one of the guys (44 years old) starts talking about shoes and that the only shoes he is buying from now on are the Nike Air Max 97’s (it’s a reissue from 1997) because when he was in high school and college these were THE shoe to have. Similarly, I like the Nike Tuned Air from 1999 that you can buy today.

So then we started talking about all the things we focus on from our youth- I have bought reissue toys, I have a skateboard collection now of the ones I wanted growing up. I obviously want/have the cars from that era. I just spent a ton of money to see Poison and Motley Crue, Thrasher T shirts- can’t tell you how many I have.

So I’m thinking now that Gen X (my generation) may be the most nostalgic generation and I never saw that coming….
