Since when are Birkenstocks something that people flaunt as a symbol of wealth? There are just solid, well made shoes. I have a pair that are 6 years old and it was cheaper for me to buy them than to replace a shitty knockoff every year.
Birkin bags, not Birkenstocks.

I was confused for a while because I had it confused with a merkin... Like, why the hell are they bringing that up??
It'd be fun to do a quick inventory of what the USOC/IOC "flaunt", other than their exploitation of minors, of course.
Ah the old Capt Vimes boot theory.
