Adidas Samba Millenium: February 2016 – April 2021

“Don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes” … or kicked or danced!

In 2013, I was wearing Adidas Gazelle shoes. They were too hot but they looked alright.

I wanted a new pair.

Then one night in the Rivlin(?) square in Jerusalem in early 2016,  I chatted with a religious fellow, Yaakov(?), wearing Adidas Samba. This friendly, agile chap liked his shoes, and so did I.

He appeared to be playing footbag too!

Soon after I bought a pair from Ebay. Interestingly, while he wore Samba, I chose Samba Millennium instead.

At that time I started to teach myself the Melbourne Shuffle. I wasn’t very good, but I felt obliged to do so given I was from Melbourne and Party Rock Anthem had been big for a while at that point.

Designed for indoor soccer, the shoes were too heavy for easy dancing. The leather stayed in good shape because I regularly used Sno-Seal on them, even enabling me to use them successfully at Mount Buller in May 2020.

The shoes held together really well until April 2021 when I retired them to the trash because ultimately the soles gave out.

At least I outlived them and they didn’t outlive me!
