Farewell My Precious.....

You are old, stink and dirty. You often being tear off by your owner. Occasionaly you will be abused by stranger because you are easy target. You look horrible in everyone eyes. Yet you serve him well. You provide comfort and protection to him. You are reliable and will never betray your owner. You make him run faster although not as fast as Michael Johnson. You make him jump higher although not as high as Michael Jordon. You make him look big although not as big as those Japanese sumo. You make him stand on top of everyone although it is always not the case.

Be whole to my buddy, my Nike Air.

You have served him for more than 3 years. Before that, you were an orphan, being displayed on a shelf at a Nike warehouse somewhere in one of Melbourne suburb, Australia. He was desperate looking for a shoe to play his beloved basketball game at that time. And he chooses you. Why? Coz you look just nice and simple, and cheap too. From that day onwards, you and him will be seen together whenever there was any sports outing.

You are his 5th buddy and you served him the longest among all. It is just the matter of time before you are fully being torn apart. A replacement has been identified, but your service remain needed as long as you still can perform.

Here, I, as the owner of Nike Air, will give you a salute. Your sacrificing and contribution will remain forever in my heart.
