Well, let me tell ya, them fancy shoe people, they got this new shoe comin’ out. It’s called somethin’ like “orchid” four, I think. Heard tell it’s for the gals, not the fellas. Them city folk sure do come up with funny names for things. Orchid 4’s release date, that’s what they’re callin’ it, like it’s some big secret.
Now, I ain’t no expert on shoes, mind you. I wear what’s comfortable and gets me through the day. But this Orchid shoe, they sayin’ it’s gonna be a big deal. Heard some whispers down at the market. Folks were talkin’ ’bout it, sayin’ it’s comin’ out in October. October, that’s when the leaves start turnin’ pretty colors, right? So, maybe that’s why they call it Orchid, like a flower. Makes sense, I guess.
Some folks sayin’ it’s comin’ out on the fifth of October. That’s early in the month, ain’t it? Then others, they’re shoutin’ it’ll be the twenty-sixth. Don’t know why they can’t make up their minds. Maybe they’re just tryin’ to keep us on our toes, like them fancy dancers on that TV show my grandbaby watches. Gotta be quick to get them shoes, I reckon.
- One thing’s for sure, though, it ain’t gonna be cheap.
- Heard tell it’s gonna cost more than a good week’s worth of groceries.
- Some say two hundred and fifteen dollars! Lord have mercy, that’s a lot of money for somethin’ you just put on your feet.
They sayin’ it’s made of some kinda fancy leather, suede they call it, and it’s the color of them purple flowers that grow by the creek. Lilac, they call it. And it’s got these little holes in it, so your feet can breathe, I guess. Don’t want your feet gettin’ all sweaty now, do ya? And they got these grey things around the laces, to make ’em look pretty, I suppose. They even got some little dots on it, like someone sprinkled pepper on ’em.
Now, I heard tell it’s gonna be sold at them big stores, the ones in the city, and on that computin’ machine, the internet. You know, the one where you can buy anything without even leavin’ your house. My grandson tried to show me once, but I just got confused. Too many buttons and lights for this old lady.
Seems like this shoe is part of some special month, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, they call it. Somethin’ to do with helpin’ them women who get sick. That’s a good thing, I suppose. Always good to help folks out when they need it. But I still don’t understand why they gotta charge so much for a shoe. Seems like they could make it cheaper and still help them women.
Anyways, if you’re lookin’ for this Orchid 4 shoe, you better mark your calendar for October. And you better start savin’ your pennies, ’cause it ain’t gonna be cheap. Whether it’s the fifth or the twenty-sixth, I ain’t rightly sure. But it’s comin’ out in October, that much I know. And them city folk, they gonna be linin’ up to get their hands on it. Me? I’ll stick to my old work boots. They’re comfortable and they get the job done. That’s all that matters to me.
This fella, Tinker Hatfield, they say he made the shoe. Been makin’ shoes since nineteen eighty-nine, apparently. Folks were payin’ a hundred and ten dollars back then, can you believe it? Times sure have changed. Now they are chargin’ near three hundred and eighty one dollars for the same shoe, just a different color! Land sakes, that’s highway robbery!
You can find them shoes at Nike, they tell me. Or some other fancy stores that sell Jordan Brand shoes. Seems like this Jordan fella is a big deal in the shoe world. Never heard of him myself, but then again, I ain’t never been one for keepin’ up with them city trends. I’ll stick to my garden and my chickens, thank you very much. Let them city folk have their fancy shoes. As long as they don’t step on my tomatoes, they can do what they want.
So there you have it. Everything I know about this Orchid 4 release date. Not much, I admit, but it’s enough to get you started. If you’re lookin’ for more information, you better ask them city folk. They know more about this stuff than I do. Just remember to keep your wallet full and your feet on the ground.
