In the 80s when I was about 6 years old I wanted florescent shoe laces. I wanted to be cool. It was a splurge. Now, all these years later, I splurged again. I haven't run a mile in these shoes yet, but I can tell they are going to fast. How can I tell? Well, look at those laces! Could a pair of shoes with highlight florescent laces ever be slow? Exactly.
