Slipper Shoes
We’re all adults here, right? Even those of you who are in college aren’t the type of college kids who say, would go to class in your pajamas, or wear hot pink sweats that say juicy on the ass with matching fuzzy slippers, right? You’ve got more self-respect (and a sharper fashion sense) than that I assume. So then, pray tell, how does an abomination of fashion that hearkens back to the slippers of sorority girls become so popular amongst our subculture?
Sure, maybe you’ll say that some gothamist discovered them in Chinatown earning them high points on the ultimate counter culture fashion scale. The problem therefore comes when you cross the threshold of your apartment/house/flat/condo/studio and enter the real world wearing shoes intended to carry you to bed. Others may argue that rather than buy the $5 pairs from the streets that come from exploited labor, there’s one company that has successfully marketed this look is making positive change in the world by giving shoes to children in need. Well, I’ve got a better idea for them; how about they make some grown-up shoes and for every pair purchased they’ll send two pairs of these slippers to kids in need; let them look like they just rolled out of bed, they’re not trying to impress anyone.
