SOCKS AND FLOPS! SOCKS AND FLOPS!

As many of you know, or for those who don't, I believe that the most comfortable combination of footwear is wearing socks with my Nike flops. Their black in color with a giant white nike swoosh across the wide slip-in strap over the end of my foot....if you know me, you have definitely seen me in these with and without socks. You can wear them with black socks, white socks, and grey socks...these 3 choices can be ultimately used to "accessorize" the rest of your outfit (white socks to match your white shirt, black to match the black sandel and the black shorts you're wearing, white and grey go really well with navy blue shorts, and all 3 colors of socks obviously go well with black shorts). I have to give proper credit to the man that turned me on to this brilliant use and style of wearing slip-on sandels, Mikey A. Reeves. A man I love, and a man I have always looked up to for outlooks on life....so why would I change my style moving to a different country for a summer? I wouldn't in fact, I'm trying to spread this style across the world!

My first shock to the european public was on my way to practice...one of my teammates comes up to me and asks, "James, why are you wearing socks with sandels?", I replied with, "Bro, this the bee's knee's and the cat's pajamas where I come from..." "He then replied with, "You know guys are talking about it and making fun of you for it," I answered, "Ask me if I care bro?" JUMP ON OR STEP OFF, because if you're reading this you have a chance to join the revolution....and honestly, I always see the european tourists with dress socks and double strapped sandels, ok, this is outta control and straight nerdy if you ask me! Mike, myself and whoever else where's nike flops with socks are past this type of nonsense, so again I say, JUMP ON OR STEP OFF!

My second encounter was in Munich, Germany. Andrew and I had just arrived after a very long train ride from Bern, Switzerland and were looking to hit up some beer gardens and relax for a while that night. I had been wearing my shoes all day long, so whats the next move to get as comfortable as possible? My nike socks and nike flops...we're in the heart of Munich taking pictures and drinking beer and all of a sudden this small crew of hammered Brits comes rolling through and starts screaming at me "socks and flops! socks and flops! yeah! socks and flops!" in the most drunk, loud english accent you could ever imagine....Andrew and myself immediately start bustin up laughing and look around and everyone in the entire Munich square is looking at me, and looking at my socks and flops, then back to me, and back down to my socks and flops, meanwhile Andrew is now almost to tears he's laughing so hard....

Moral of this story is obviously start wearing socks and flops; when you're just starting out feel free to contact me via facebook or email (perezjr5@gmail.com) on what combos work.....Become part of the revolution....
