You know what kind of jackass I am?
I am the type of jackass that will make fun of something on social media, then look a bit more into it, then look for a deal, then go and buy said thing.
I mean, for all intents and purposes...what in the world would compel me to seek out a pair of Nike swim flippers?
It started with that ridiculously stupid @champagnepapi x Nike 'Nocta' swim flipper advertisement that I saw and ridiculed and then when I realized they had cheap versions of those flippers I figured I'd cop a pair.
And so I did. $35 shipped. And I've used them more than any other *single* pair of shoes this summer (other than those Off White x AF1 mids I've been using for that little experiment).
And...they're certainly more comfortable than normal flippers. But they don't work nearly as well as normal flippers. But they do work ok in the water.
Someone said (in the comments) that they were meant to be worn as slides at the beach and then I saw someone somewhere else online say the same thing and I just don't see how that is logically possible. Are people actually wearing these like they're slides?
Anyway...just thought I'd report back on what a jackass I can be. If you've ever thought of following my advice for anything (other than 'do what makes you happy'), just know that I don't even follow my own advice most of the time.
