NEW YORK - 46 year old New York Red Bull fan Antoni Smith reportedly spent his week subverting the classical office norms of business casual by wearing his Adidas Sambas into work.

Stating, “someone’s gotta show some pride out there,” Smith found a way to break with the tradition of wearing dress shoes or terrible new balance sneakers by flashing his “casual collection” to everyone working in his office as a subtle fuck you to the establishment.

Co-workers were unaware of Smith’s attempt at destroying the business casual aesthetic and maintaining his ultra street cred as they stated, “what those old things with the paint stains on them,” when asked about his shoes.

Smith reportedly sighed deeply as he logged into his laptop and gazed at the background he set of the South Ward celebrating a goal before putting on headphones, playing Agnostic Front, rocking back on his chair and placing his shoes up his desk where everyone could see them.

“I’ve been supporting this team since I was 21. These shoes are just my part that says I’m not fully participating in this whole capitalist charade. I’m here so I have enough money to attend the games, and I also need to pay for rent, student loans, medical bills, electricity, credit card bills, phone bills, and that time I had to charge a MLS conduct violation class for lighting off a smoke bomb to my emergency mastercard,” stated Smith to The Nutmeg News. “I spend most of my day researching vacations I can’t afford and homes that I can’t afford and doing enough work to keep this thing going. Frankly, I’m just about ready to move to a deserted island somewhere if I didn’t have season tickets and couldn’t actually afford moving in the first place.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as a coworker asks if Smith’s throwback Adidas windbreaker was purchased from a Goodwill.
