The Laney Jordan 5 May Be A Problem

Posted by Thomas Berghello ON Feb 27, 2013 IN omg shoes
I guess I really did speak too soon the other day. Blue and yellow sole? Check! Three quarters of the height of a regular Air Jordan 5? CHECK! It looks like a Laney 5. When the idiots who always lick the bottom of their shoe do lick it, it will taste like a Laney 5, and of course When I get my pair and give them a real st.. READ MORE >
