Lu Wenbin wore a pair of new red Air Jordan sneakers and ran slowly across the synthetic race tracks around Fuyuan Stadium.
The Air Jordans were the latest design of the brand that year. The day before, when Lu Wenbin passed by a Nike store, he immediately bought the shoes upon falling in love with them at first sight. As a fitness freak, Lu Wenbin had an obsession with sneakers. He did not purchase them in Yun Hua simply because he was poor.
Before he came to Shanghai, he had received plenty of travel subsidies for out-of-town travel, and the total was over 5,000 RMB. Also, with the income he earned from selling pork trotters and braised food, Lu Wenbin summoned his courage, walked into the shop, and bought himself a pair of Air Jordans at full price.
At that moment, Lu Wenbin ran on the track with his pair of full-priced Air Jordans, and he felt like he had drawn the attention of every person in the stadium.
