this is my dog. Chopper. I got him shortly after i closed my flagship store. I took five weeks off and during that duration of time one of my house mates at glen ellen (1 of about 25 in a five year period) Adam Jacobson brought him home after finding him in the ghetto of the outskirts of down town san diego. This pup was so small he fit in my hand. Now he still thinks he's a lapdog but almost pushes me off the bed. In all my years, of having him, he's only chewed up one pair of my shoes - my adidas micropacers.. i growing up in the suburbs I had always wanted a pair of shoes that could track all my mileage. These shoes were an answer to that.
