Little Big Man

This cool dude came barging past everyone waiting at a street crossing in Umeda. In case you're wondering, no, he's not a child. Note the clean white trainers, very similar to those worn by Michael J. Fox in the 'Back to the Future' film series.
(Despite my mocking tone, also note that I didn't have the courage to take this photo from the front)
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Your admittance of cowardice is courage enough for me, D. You know, I think he might also have been wearing them in Teen Wolf....

@Stu: I think they were a recurring motif in much of Fox's 1980s oeuvre.

Lovely angle, and funny story. Maybe next time you will get the guts to take him from the front. Great image by the way.
