I've always wondered about that line. The only shoes that come to mind are slip-on Van's, not exactly complicated save for the patterns.

Speaking of shoes, the Puffy Shirt recently joined Dorothy's Ruby Slippers in the U.S.'s National Museum of American History, the Smithsonian Institution:

from: <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61463-2004Nov18.html>

'[Seinfeld] told the crowd that this was surely the most embarrassing moment in the museum's history, and that the Smithsonian is pretty much the opposite of everything he believes in, "which is just throw everything out." When people ask to have their prized possessions buried with them, he said, he thinks, "Good for them. Take your crap with you. We don't want it."'

COMPLICATED SHOES??!!! Do you even realise the difference between "Keds", or "PF Flyers" and the multi-layered, tri-colored, sometimes electric, "moon-crater-soled", $175 "atheletic shoes" served up today?

Where HAVE you been?
