Tubes, Fucking Tubes
The following is an e-mail I sent to K-Swiss:
Dear K-Swiss Footwear,
I'm writing this thank you e-mail on behalf of myself, an lifetime runner and once upon a time track star. I'll admit it, I was skeptical at first regarding the performance of your K-Swiss "Tubes" but the ad featuring Danny McBride as Kenny Powers could not be ignored. Brilliant work ladies and gentleman. The ad (which I watch from time to time and laugh without fail) promised a high performance and versatile shoe. You have made good on your word. After a year of abuse on trails, tracks, work, and everyday life, my first pair of Tubes is holding up as responsive and supportive as the day I got them. I was apprehensive regarding the tubes portion of the shoe, speculating that it's design would be susceptible to accumulation of dirt and debris, decreasing the traction. However today I ran five miles undaunted through a muddied wet terrain at a brisk pace and was confident in your product. As a matter of fact, that run was when I began the first draft of this e-mail. So keep up the good work ladies and gentleman, you have successfully converted a former New Balance and Asics customer.
Very truly yours,
Al Axelsen
I recently purchased my second pair of Tubes.
