eggs 1,353 ft. in the air!

Today my friend Paige and I went to see Iron and Wine in Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. Not only was the music great- so was the atmosphere. It was a sea of picnic baskets, beer, and great outfits. The moment I spotted these Nikes I tracked this guy down! These are the Nike Zoom…
