Mama Got a New Pair of Shoes

| | Comments (1)

I customized and bought myself a pair of Nike ID sneakers.  Lookie:

nike-id-outside nike-id-inside

If you'll notice, on the inside they'll embroider the phrase/word/proper noun of your choice.  I agonized over what to put on mine.  "Kotara Industries" was the obvious choice, but I really wanted to use some foreign words to make my shoes seem more exciting and exotic, and fake like I got them in a faraway land.  I decided it should definitely be a Scandinavian language.  Swedish was the obvious choice since they were the colors of the Swedish flag.  I decided on my theme, and went about figuring it the words in Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish....

  • Swedish - Vänster / Höger
    Damn!  Nike does not accept special characters!

  • Norwegian - Høyre venstre
    Damn!  Nike continues to not accept special characters!

  • Finnish - Vasempaan / Oikeaan
    Really?  No 'äs or ää's or äää's???  Yay!!  I really wanted Finnish the whole time, anyway, it's my favorite.
And what does "Vasempaan / Oikeaan" mean?  It means "Left / Right."

Well, I hope it means "Left / Right".  With my luck I probably got it exactly wrong, and some Finnish person is going to stop me on the street and ask me why my shoes say "Gone" and "Prerogative."
