Tokyo 2020 Inspired Sneakers

Once every four years, the world unites through its love for sports. With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics underway, Asics has released a special edition of their Gel-Quantum running shoes. The sneakers are rendered in vibrant colors and stamped with "Tokyo 2020" on the sides and the official Olympics logo on the back.

It was the year when I was afraid to go to birthday parties for fear that everyone would start singing Taylor Dayne's Love Will Lead You Back . 1990 was the year when I caught mumps and chickenpox. It was the year when no one was quite sure what happened between my science teacher and my classmate's dad, but they were sure happy about it. A reason to see Presumed Innocent is the amazing performances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Bill Camp. A reason not to see it is if you're already very familiar with the book and the movie.
