So would [this guy](https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/The_Grinch_(2018)). I don’t know that I’d personally wear them - I don’t wear athletic or athletic \*adjacent \*shoes except for at the gym - but I’d kind of like to see this become a trend. They bring me joy somehow.

Oh, I think I might be able to top the OP.

[Here](https://www.mytheresa.com/en-us/balenciaga-hotel-jacquard-slides-921335.html) are some pink slippers for $325 (50% off!).
