Sometimes it is prudent to get the name of something you like put on a pair of sneakers (and maybe even a tattoo). Sometimes it is even more prudent to purchase a ballin' pair of kicks that say something you like. Introducing the Nike Sportswear Air Zoom ‘Austin Texas’ edition.
Ya, they say Austin and Texas on the back of each shoe and ya, they are pretty much the most awesome pair of shoes you have ever seen. Hey they are even better then having the words 'chocolate' and 'milkshake' on the back of your Nike Sportswear Air Zoom.
