Shoulda gone with a nice new pair of light up sneakers Gus. Those things can be seen from space.

Nothing more disappointing than something you were excited about just ...not working out. It's almost as if that smile on that shirt is mocking the group

Do you remember Air Jordans? We all thought we were gonna fly after we pumped them up. Such a let down.

I remember squeezing mine till it burst

I saved up so much allowance for those things

Tried light up shoes like 3 times, the batteries only lasted like 2 days of kid walking

Those shoes with the metallic goop pockets were cool though.

Whaat? Here in Europe they just worked. For years. Only activated on when you stomped your feet though... Is it that time and what customer protections do your country have, because that sounds like the shops problem... From every day normal use everything should be intended to be working for a product for a year and it should be on their dime that it gets repaired anytime it doesn't work

Ahhhhh the great con of my childhood. How I still am upset those did not do what I was told they would

Though I'll be fair and say I didn't have a decent realistic idea what they would do
