So this whole 'flippy floppy' thing, brought about by @virgilabloh and the whole 'ten' thing, always looked like a pain in the ass to me. Like it just looked like something I couldn't wear, especially if I were to be wearing my shoes doing the activities I like doing in shoes...hiking, riverwalking, biking, running, basketball, whatever...
The 'flap' construction always looked like something that could get caught in an escalator...or...something that would just fall off. Or...if I had a dog, all of the dog hair would get stuck in there. Or...I dunno.
It appears it's an aesthetic now, and...I suppose it can look kinda cool...but...I dunno. Isn't it a pain in the ass?
IMO it looks good on this pair of 90's...increases the size of the swoosh, but...I dunno. I'm still not convinced that I want to deal with it.
I've written this post 3 times now and I still don't know if I'm making any sense. Hopefully you kinda followed. Any thoughts?
