Where do I buy gym shoes in the (Chicago) Loop? I trashed my Nikes at Lollapalooza over the weekend, and I don't want to show up to my "Personal Fitness Assessment" tonight with busted kicks. I'm at Monroe & Franklin, so the closer to there the better.

Before I turned to the Suede-side and only wore Puma sneakers, I used to have a really cool pair of Adidas. I want to find out what they were called, and if I can still buy a pair. [more inside]

I've played soccer my whole life, compared to my European brethren I know very little about the sport (and its stars). Anyone know a good book about soccer/football that will allow me to speak with authority when someone references Michel Platini, Franz Beckenbauer, or even Cisse or Ronaldinho?

Also, if you've been watching the World Cup, you've probably seen this great commercial (different from the question below). Does anyone know what the song is?

I found this adidas ad over at YouTube (It's the one with the shoes running all over town).. The song is super catchy.. (and the ad isn't half bad either).. Can anyone tell me what the song is?
