Big name companies love to think “outside the box” when it comes to their products in order to go viral nowadays.
Sometimes, I truly believe, companies try to make products that look absolutely ridiculous because there’s no such thing as bad publicity–it’s like a free ad campaign. Just ask Balengiaca and their T-shirt Shirt. Recently, Nike introduced their latest summer wear–Fanny Pack Sandals, and, I feel like I’m back in the late ’80s, but worse.
The sandal collection includes the classic Nike sandal base with a fanny pack strap–no I’m not kidding. They come in three colors, too–classic black, or some bright ’80s colors.
While they seem rather “mom-ish,” a lot of people online are really down with the whole “carry my money in my shoes” look.

Why am I not even questioning the fact that I am ready to shell out some cash for those new @Nike “Fanny Pack” sliders…. It’s not even up for debate in my opinion. This summer is going places I never could’ve imagined. 👣💁🏽♂️
