There’s an inner 13 year old within me that remembers distinctly berating my parents for making me wear New Balance sneakers in my first year of high school when all the«cool kids» were wearing Adidas or Nike. Funny how fashion swings in round-a-bouts and your late-20s self finds herself willingly seeking out a pair of New Balance sneakers. Enter the newly opened(no kidding, they’d opened about 2 nanoseconds before I walked in) Platypus Shoes in the schmick and sophisticated renovated Indooroopilly Shopping Centre. There upon their pristine and untouched shelves were my dream New Balance 410s in black. What could just trying a pair on to get my size hurt, right? The sales assistant was warm, friendly and was off on his way to find my size. Yes these guys are cool but they’re on your level. They’re not rocking some pie in the sky attitude that makes you wish you were buying these new kicks with the click of a «Pay With Paypal» button. Thanks for helping me with the sizes Team Platypus and I’ll be back. There’s some things that buying online just cannot replace.
