New Sneakers for the Missus

Eri has a hidden talent for seeing shoes that she likes, trying them on and liking them, procrastinating about buying them and upon finally deciding to do so, discovering that they have sold out. She had a bad experience a few years ago with a pair of Miu Miu boots, and the other week we saw a pair of Nike x Liberty Dunks that she (and I), really liked and when we returned to the shop to buy them, found they too had sold out. Yesterday, on going to the Nike Store in Kichijoji, we were pleased to see that they had started to stock them there too, after not having had them when I went to check the other week. I really like these. We're just trying to work out whether to keep the white laces or change to the included purple pair. Decisions, decisions.

    Yeah, the conversation went something like this: Sounds familiar?

    Me: They're nice. Buy them.

    Her: 好きだけどー。どうする?

    Me: They suit you. Buy them now.

    Her: まあね。買いたいだけどー。どうする?

    Me: Buy them. Buy them. Buythembuythembuythembuythem. Now.

    *Continues for 2 weeks*

    Her: じゃ買うね。

    Shop Assistant: ごめんね。売りきた。

    Me: I told you. See? I told you.

    Her: おりー?

    Me: Yes?

    Her: 死ね。

    Nice shoes.

    I would say "I wish they had better shoe shops here in Spain like in Japan" but the cost of some of thosae trainers is crazy.
    Althoguh I have spotted some "Tetris" Nikes (I think they were) on some Nintendo sites that looked awsome. Quiote similar to the ones above.
    I'd of bought them.

    I saw those. I think Puma did a pair too!

    Shoes here are about half the price of those back home. Eri's dunks were about £65. Which makes it even more annoying that I can seldom find any to fit.
