Yeah man ofc, bring your pandas you bought off StockX. In all seriousness, think you'd be better off getting a pair of common projects/axel arigato/margiela gats (I have fashion friends)

thanks man i'll just get those.

 

One of my good mans at gs and one at Evr wore Jordan’s to the office on thursdays and Friday’s

 

Honestly, and this is in London, I've seen people wear all kinds of shoes to the office with their suits. Bright nike runner, some of those old school aesthetic white leather shoes (not all-white) - cant remember brand, air maxes, dunks, colourful blazers, and yes Jordans. This is all the way from analysts to MDs. And this is not just on casual fridays lol. On casual fridays I've seen even more variety though most people keep it pretty tame.

People are so rigid on here. You weiners need to get a grip. Like if you're not meeting clients, literally who gives a shit.

 

I once saw a guy at my firm (clearly opps/IT) that was wearing a green adidas slicker jacket, Jordan 1s (high tops, mind you), and pitbull-style sunglasses. Was about to ask him what floor the poker game was on.
