Tivar, I found the website delightful! Yep, looks like Nikes to me!

On the other topic. I have often thought about going to Pennsic and
wearing white or grey sweatpants, taking a fabric marker and drawing
on lames, buckles, rivets, etc...  It seems that so many other kingdoms
are frightened of our "double-knit leg armor" that I would make them
feel better. The "sabatons" would be a terrific addition.

But then, I take these things WAY too seriously.

But getting back to Queens, maybe someone could write on their Nikes
the following message:  "THESE ARE NOT PERIOD SHOES, PLEASE
IGNORE LIKE YOU IGNORE THE HUGE FREAKIN' MUNDANE
MASK ON MY HEAD. THANK YOU."

Please understand I'm only having fun with the concept and not meaning
disrespect to Her Highness who is a lovely lady and doesn't deserve louts
like me in Her kingdom. Besides, Her lord can beat me up.

Yers,

Gunthar
