Eh, I don’t know how lost they are – the Ghost Host himself, whilst casting about for new recruits, accounts for 999 of them. Oh, wait, I said SOLES, not souls. My bad!
And they’re not lost either, because I found them, the shoes to put all other shoes to shame, my Haunted Mansion New Balance running shoes. Yeah, I’ll let that sink in for a second – Haunted Mansion running shoes. That my head hasn’t simply blown up from delirium over their mere existence is nothing short of a miracle; it’s kind of amazing I’m still standing now that I actually possess them!
At the recommendation/enabling of a Disney-obsessed friend, I stopped by the Fit2Run store in Disney Springs during our Christmas trip and found these bad boys. And at a whopping 75 percent off, no less, on account of the fact that they were a 2017 Run Disney release, and there was at that time just one week left in the year.
I suppose the real question is will I ever be able to wear them? After seeing what a beating my Asics took this year, I don’t relish the thought of subjecting them to my daily workout routine. I actually suspect they will become a pair of my parkin’ shoes – when at the Magic Kingdom and all that. 🙂
And as always, a bit of matching or co-ordinated nail art, because how could I not?
Although I’ll take this moment to note that the mint green, orchid and royal purple hues on my fingertips are really more in keeping with the actual colours of the shoes. Owing to that bizarre colour-match thing that tends to happen with greens, blues and purples, these shoes are registering as WAY more indigo blue than they actually are. And, like, neon indigo blue, too. In real life they’re much more in keeping with the actual purple hue of the Mansion’s iconic damask wallpaper, or these cool Mansion MagicBands we picked up during our Halloween trip.
Right you are, off to stare at them for a bit while imagining the next time I’ll be able to take them out for a spin down Disney way. 🙂
