I don’t care how comfortable they are — whenever I see someone wearing Allbirds in or outside of the office I automatically assume they’re a huge dweeb who got bullied in high school. Either wear real quality leather sneakers or keep your dress shoes on, and throw those wool pieces of crap in the garbage. Thx.

When I found out that they're not even waterproof... bruh
+SB. This needed to be said.
Have you ever tried them?
I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, but I actually think it's being a massive dork that makes you look like a massive dork. Living through most of the finance fashion trends over the past 10 years (e.g. Barbour jackets, patagonia, deal sleds, Canada goose, now Arcteryx, etc.) has led me to this conclusion.
These are all objectively cool brands that make a fashionable product but high finance is inundated with sunken chest nerd followers who run these brands into the ground. My point is that massive dorks who have money, but no style, wear these brands because they see others wearing them, but ultimately end up looking like massive dorks in trendy clothing.
Idk man, this probably makes no sense, but it sounded so good in my head.
Well, you got one thing right in your post . . .
LOL - I tee'd you up, fair play
You're definitely going to survive your move to NY. You're definitely going to be able to maintain your same lifestyle. You're definitely going to do well here. You're definitely not going to get eaten alive. You're definitely going to be here for more than 2 years.
I agree with the premise but I wouldn’t put Allbirds in the same category as the other brands you mentioned. I don’t think Allbirds sneakers are fashionable or cool by themselves, whereas Gucci, Patagonia and Barbour make quality stuff that’s cool by itself but overworn by finance bros and turned into a meme.
Yea I'm with you on this
I’m literally doing God’s work trying to save the tree runners from lifelong virginity, and you have the nerve to come in here and criticize. Please enlighten us with your views on acceptable footwear for men. In a casual setting, you can do much worse than leather sneakers.
It’s dorky that you care so much about shoes
I am genuinely trying to help people and strong language is more effective.
thoughts on the leather onclouds?
