The “ready dirty” basketballs were too good to be true! This is said by several Romanians who have bought sports shoes with a vintage appearance from Adidas and have found that, although they look old and shabby, they do not have a bit of stench, but a discreet smell of brand-new plastic, like any other freshly bought shoes At the shop. Now, they are accusing the German company of fraud, demanding their money back.
“When you see a pair of shoes with that amount of dust on them, you expect them to smell healthy, of worked feet, you know, that complex, mature, earthy, slightly acidic bouquet, like a freshly split Parmesan wheel. You expect, perhaps, that it has a slight trace of mushrooms, like a breeze from a cellar of a nobleman’s mansion…”, says Robert Acrişor, sommelier of sneakers from Galaţi. “When there, the dust is artificial, an ordinary fake made of pixels, and the smell – the smell is neither on the sleeve nor on the sleeve.”
“I promised my wife that I would start running, that it was healthy, that I don’t know what. My plan was to trick her with these sneakers. They seemed perfect, but when there, they smell like new sneakers! Now what do I do? Do I start running? I also gave ten million”, complains Deceneu Petrică, a sedentary drunkard from Sector 4.
