Let me flip it for you: why do White people insist on wearing those damn things 8 months out of the year? I mean they don't complement your feet all that well. I admit I started hating that shyt in college when it was like the official footwear of half the damn campus. Brehettes can wear them (especially with fine toes) but I admit when I see a BM with flip flops and he's not from the Islands or something I start thinking (). Yeah, it's dumb and petty.

There's nothing better than having your feet touching the ground and having your skin to breathe.
I noticed people who hate on flip-flops are the same who hate being outside in nature. "Oh man i hate this nature shyt, there's bugs and flies and shyt. I rather be in the hood with my nikkas."

Nikkas timb boots prob smelling foul for wearing it everyday.

Are you a West African?

i dont fukk with them joints like chancletas..... now the nike /adidas joints with out that toe shyt is cool

Because African Americans inherently believe that you have to be prepared to do two fundamental things in a pair of footwear.

1) Fight

2) Run

Can't do much in flip flops Breh

flip flops are fukking lazy white people and there's no other way around it

the same people who wear flip flops are a half step (and usually do this shyt regularly) from walking directly feet to surface. You should be god damn ashamed

So this is why Americans are scared to leave the tourist areas of countries

Walk around in some slippers and socks and u a walking mark

Lies. I'd wager that I go fishing more than the avg Coli poster as well as hunting and camping and Ive never in my life owned flip flops or sandles.

Other than fishing and hiking, hunting and camping, coaching and umpiring youth baseball (outdoor) and hitting the bike trails, there's no reason or excuse to wear open toed shoes as a male. Unless you're at the beach which I'm not.

$.50 flip flops....I don't think so.

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]
