Shirttails, shoes and ferries home
Twenty-five years ago Wednesday my wife and I stood near a big cottonwood tree on a hot Wyoming afternoon and said our wedding vows to one another. Today we are in San Francisco in the mist and the breeze to celebrate the quarter-century occasion with a few nights at a nice hotel (the shower has neither curtain nor door -- now that's fancy).
Thursday afternoon I sat sipping something warm in the handsome old Ferry Building along the revitalized stretch of bayfront property called the Embarcadero. The gigantic Bay Bridge, for my money the equal of the more-famous Golden Gate, and far more important terms of transportation (it is at the Bay Bridge where Interstate 80 begins) loomed overhead.
Suddenly, in a near stampede, a rush of San Franciscans poured through the Ferry Building, weaving their way among the shoppers, sightseers and tea-sippers. They were, I realized, hurrying to get on one of the several huge ferry boats docked on the bay side of the building. These were not tourists. These were commuters.
A certain urban uniform was apparent. There were some suit wearers from the nearby financial district, but most of the men getting off work and hustling toward the ferries had the same wardrobe style: long-sleeved dress shirts, usually with sleeves rolled to the elbows, long shirttails untucked. Blue jeans. And hard-soled leather shoes, black or brown, with prominent square toes noticeably upturned.
The shoes look a couple of sizes too big for these men, the better to accommodate the square-toed prows.
They reminded me of the old-style pro football kickers of my childhood who put on a special shoe when it was time to kick a field goal. Off would come the regulation football cleats shoes they wore when running, and on would go the one with the hard, blocky toe section well-suited to foot-punching the oval ball through the goal posts.
Today's kickers are all soccer-style, approaching the ball at an angle and kicking more with the side of the foot than the toe, but if there's ever a renaissance of the old straight-ahead kicking style, I know where the teams could find the appropriate shoes. They are here in San Francisco, on the feet of the 30-something commuters, hustling to catch the ferry home, their shoe fronts protruding forward like alligator snouts as they board the boats that will take them home.

Sports News from USA Today Adidas apologizes, nixes ‘shackle’ shoe
Adidas will no longer produce the shoes planned for August which drew criticism Monday for what some said evoked slave imagery.
The company said Monday that it was pulling the JS Roundhouse Mids, which were unveiled on Facebook along with the question, “Got a sneaker game so hot you lock your kicks to your ankles?”
Designer Jeremy Scott said on Twitter that the sneakers were inspired by the 1980s doll My Pet Monster. The plush toy inspired a direct-to-video movie and a short-lived animated television series featuring a purple-and-blue monster that broke free of orange chains that resembled those on the sneakers.
Scott has designed adidas shoes with Mickey Mouse and gorilla tongues and shoes with wings. His shoes are typically priced at more than $200. He said the new design was not intended to reference incarceration or slavery.
The shoes drew online criticism, including sharp words from Syracuse economics professor Boyce Watkins, who wrote, “Shackles, the stuff that our ancestors wore for 400 years while experiencing the most horrific atrocities imaginable.”
A statement supplied by adidas said, “Our collaboration with Jeremy Scott has always stood for creativity and originality. Jeremy Scott is renowned as a designer whose style is quirky and lighthearted & his previous shoe designs for adidas Originals have, for example, included panda heads and Mickey Mouse. The design of the JS Roundhouse Mid is nothing more than the designer Jeremy Scott’s outrageous and unique take on fashion and has nothing to do with slavery. Since the shoe debuted on our Facebook page ahead of its market release in August, adidas has received both favorable and critical feedback. We apologize if people are offended by the design and we are withdrawing our plans to make them available to the marketplace.”

Boutique expands with shoes and men in mind
One of the coolest additions to Blake & Brady's expansion is the men's corner upstairs, says Chris Sullivan.
It's a bare space now, but a couch and TV will entertain men and children while the women in their lives shop at the Anderson boutique.
“I'm in that same boat," Sullivan said. “I can't do the shopping thing."
He and wife, Sissa Sullivan, like to do the business thing. Their store, in downtown Anderson, will double in size on May 2. A 1,100-square-foot-loft will hold denim and 50 styles of shoes. “When you get a box of shoes it's enormous," Chris Sullivan said. “You're getting one box with 12 pair. People were buying them like crazy, but we didn't have anywhere to store them."
The upstairs addition is an almost mirror image of the store's main floor, Sissa Sullivan said. The loft last housed an attorney's office cluttered with walls and forgotten furniture.An original 1898 hardwood floor lay beneath old tiles.
“It's like people came home from the Civil War, and they laid this floor down," Chris Sullivan said.
A wood bar will be used for after-hours parties. At least two dressing rooms will be to the side of the new space.
Word-of-mouth advertising and an active Blake & Brady Facebook page have led to a growth that has spread throughout the Southeast, California and soon, Ireland.
“It's nice to hear our names on a lot of people's lips," Sissa Sullivan said. “We want everyone to succeed in this town."
Much of the boost happened in the last year, and the Sullivans hired six more employees to meet demands.
Orders from such high-fashion locales as California amused Chris Sullivan.
“It's funny because I know they can find this stuff there because we get it from there so we receive it from California then model it and ship it back," he said.
For all the closings that plagued downtown through the winter, the opening of Mellow Mushroom on Monday brought hope, Sissa Sullivan said.
“Downtown is really starting to boom," she said. “It's showing people that downtown is definitely a place to be, which is nice."
A year ago she never imagined she'd be this close to meeting her goal of shipping to every state.
“My expectations have been met 10 times over," she said.
