Entropy will be the end of us all.
Nothing lasts forever. And as humans we're okay with that, or, we hope to be. But that doesn't mean a good pair of work boots, a gaming chair, or a golf glove should give out on you after a year of everyday usage. If that's the case you need to spend some more money on longer-lasting products.
But anyone who has worn through a pair of sneakers only to repurchase a brand new pair knows, that sometimes the sign of a good life lived is shown in the hole in the bottom of your shoes.
So get a bit nostalgic and dare we say sentimental with a collection of personal items that lived a good life.
