Wtf is Mercury Speaks?!
05.21.10
Hey Everyone,
A brief little history on how I came up with the name Mercury Speaks, just in case you wanted to know how it correlates to sneakers. I have been thinking of starting a sneaker blog for quite sometime now and like any blogger knows you need a name that will draw people in. So I started racking my brains for a clever yet cool name for the blog. I must not have been too creative because every name I thought about was already taken or sounded somewhat naughty, yeah I want followers but not that kind. Damn, back to the drawing board to come up with clever something, anything at this point. I woke up one morning thinking about mythology for some reason. Turned on the laptop and BOOM!! I got it!!!!
What was the name of the messenger of the gods? Come on, you know this one…Hermes! Everyone seems to remember him for his sandals since they had little wings on them. Unfortunately, Hermes sounded too much like herpes so that was a no go. Then the little light went off in my head, the Romans took Greek mythology and just switched the names! So Hermes became Mercury, same god just different names with the same sandals. The speaks I added since I intended to speak about something well sneakers in this case. That is the story on how the name Mercury Speaks came to be
