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.

It'd be fun to do a quick inventory of what the USOC/IOC "flaunt", other than their exploitation of minors, of course.
