My grandson, he showed me on that YouTube, people showing off these shoes, walking around in ’em. He says they call it “On Feet.” What that means, I don’t know. These young folks and their fancy words. He wants to join somethin’ to get access to somethin’. I told him to save his money, buy himself somethin’ useful, not just fancy shoes.
