It ‘Socks’ to Lose Shoes
In Fall 2018, Sacai designer Chitose Abe put mismatched sandals on the runway and instantly became the talk of the town. However, it wasn’t a new concept because pictured here was Olympic medalist Jim Thorpe, an American athlete, and Sac and Fox Nation member.
As we can see, he was sporting two different footwear! While it is easy to laugh at it, there’s an interesting story behind this. Just before his match, the Gold medalist couldn’t find his shoes, so he had to dig out the trash for a pair. Since one of his finds was too big for him, he had to wear multiple socks so that he could compete.
