Personal Reflection:

I bought these shoes in the summer of 2016, right before starting my season with the under 15 Nova Scotia provincial basketball team. These sneakers have a connection to one of the highlights of my basketball playing career. That summer while wearing these sneakers my team went to the Canada basketball national championships. During this tournament while wearing these sneakers every game my team and I, ended up winning the tournament being dubbed national champions. This was the greatest accomplishment of my basketball career, and any basketball player will know how important a great pair of sneakers are. I cherish these sneakers and the memories that they hold.
