I guess I'm going through my second childhood. I wasn't ever able to get RBJ's when I was a kid. I now have a pair and love them. They are a bit narrow and I didn't see a wide version, So I'm hoping they will stretch. Otherwise, I love them!

This was a pair of sneakers that I wanted all the way back in 1964 when I started kindergarten. I begged my mother to get them for me... I wanted to "run faster, jump higher"! But being just one of five children in a large and still growing family (number six was in the oven), money constraints required the bargain bin sneakers. But I never forgot how badly I wanted a pair of Red Ball Jets, in the color of red and high tops. I did a Google search to show some friends the sneakers that I was referring to in the midst of a conversation... much to my pleasure, that was when I discovered my fortune of being able to fulfill one of my childhood dreams. "Run Faster, Jump Higher"? I don't know about all of that now... but sometimes dreams still come true. I'm 65 yrs old now... so some other times it just takes a while to get fulfilled.

I’m old enough to remember when Red Ball Jets were the shoes EVERY kid wanted. Long before Nike, Adidas, or Reebok there were Red Ball Jets! I was happy to see that my updated Jets still have the very cool and stylish ribbed toe cap, and I like the quality, fit, and feel - definitely an A+ from me!
