The Unwritten Rules of Sneaker Etiquette
As the college football season rages on, I find myself switching gears to catch a glimpse of college hoops on TVs 4 and 5 in my basement. And I’m glad I did, because today I stumbled upon a cringe-worthy moment that left me shaking my head.
The Rookie Move That’s Got to Go
Let’s face it, having the latest and greatest gear is a status symbol, and what screams “swag” more than a fresh pair of kicks? But there’s a fine line between confidence and sheer arrogance. Leaving the tag on those brand-new shoes is a major faux pas. It’s either a rookie mistake or a deliberate attempt to show off, and honestly, it just makes you look like a fool.
Get It Together, Brother!
There’s no logical reason to keep the tag on. It’s not like it adds any extra style points or functionality. In fact, it’s quite the opposite – it screams “look at me, I’m trying too hard!” It’s embarrassing, to say the least. So, do yourself a favor and take that tag off. Your sneaker game (and everyone around you) will thank you.
Respect the Unwritten Rules
In the world of sneaker enthusiasts, there are unwritten rules that separate the pros from the amateurs. And leaving the tag on is definitely not a pro move. So, next time you cop a fresh pair, remember to take that tag off and show some respect for the sneaker community. Your reputation (and your shoes) depend on it.
