I don't know about you, but certain smells conjure up specific memories for me.And if anything conjures up the past and all those things that made me who I am today - bmx, skateboarding, punk rock - it is the smell of a new pair of Vans.
This week, I passed on the smell of new Vans to my oldest son.
At some point in the near future, I'll introduce him to the pungent smell of Rector pads.
