Limited Edition Dunkin’ Shoes

When these shoes first crossed my field of vision my first instinct was to make an impulse purchase, but the rational side of my brain held me back. “What if they don’t fit right,” it said. “Then you’ll have spent all that money on an ill-fitting pair of shoes.” One week later I made it to the Outlet Mall to try on a pair of Saucony Kinvara 9’s. They fit beautifully. That’s when I learned that they had made only 2,000 of the Dunkin’ and that they sold out in less than 24 hours. Although I was sad I couldn’t get the shoe I wanted, I did leave the store with a pair in a color that reminds me of grape Kool-Aid. MORAL OF THE STORY: Next time a limited edition thing comes up that you really want, buy it fast. Worry about fit later. These shoes are now being sold by third party purchasers for up to $1,500.00.
