Sneaker logo

My father has back problems (he has had to have 2 discs removed and he has a couple more herniated, etc). So my sister found these sneakers that are supposed to be SO great and got them for him for his birthday. They are marketed specifically for improving joint and spinal problems.

Here they are:

Surprise 

Nope, this is NOT a joke. He wears them all the time, too, because he doesn't care what they look like and he says they really are comfortable.

But I had to have a talk with my sister and explain that being a lesbian doesn't excuse her from not knowing sperm when she sees it.

And they're all in the $100-ish ballpark. Can you imagine paying that much for sperm sneakers? Here's the site in case you want to. LOL http://gravitydefyer.com/

Re: Sneaker logo

  • LOL at sperm sneakers!  I'll admit, I glanced at the picture quickly and didn't see the problem at first.  I was like, "OK, they're sneakers.  They're not so bad."  Myabe if I had paid attention to your post title I would have gotten it.  Comprehension fail.

    Does he wear them with pants (as opposed to shorts)?  Hopefully they're long enough that maybe they cover the weird logo? 

    Otherwise...yeah...awkward.

  • OK, I just went to the site and literally LOLed at the word "ballistics" on the front page. 

    I am such a teenage boy sometimes.

    HAHAHAHA I didn't even notice.

     

    And my dad wears them with shorts. He really doesn't care. Sometimes he points out to people that there are sperm on his shoes. He told little sister's boyfriend that he got them from the sperm bank for being a loyal donor. Indifferent He's obviously not concerned with what anyone thinks haha.

  • That's hilarious-- I love your dad's sense of humor!

    I am seriously LOLing over here! If I weren't Nesting from my phone I'd insert the laughing/crying emoticon right here ___. I guess if you've been in serious pain for a while and then find some form of relief you wouldn't care about looks much either. Thank your dad for us for the laughs though!

  • My dad is definitely a special guy haha.

    He always tells us that he can't wait until he's old and in a wheelchair so he can say whatever he wants.

  • I've seen these advertized in the Metro! I have no idea what the creators were thinking. But I'm glad your dad can joke about it.

    I just spit water out on my computer at this whole thing.  I kind of want to get them for DH as a joke....a very expensive joke.

    He does have those stupid toe shoes, Five Fingers, so really sperm sneakers are not that bad.

    Annoying me.  He doesn't run, so he usually just wears them on the weekend.

    LOL! I don't know why anyone would wear those things except for some kind of active pursuit, like boating (which is apparently what they were originally made for), running, grass volleyball, etc.  They're not really all that comfortable IMHO.
