I remember way back in the day when I was still a lil' jit, I wore a pair of Chuck Taylor's with my business casual attire to a job interview and was laughed at. When the interviewer asked why I wore those shoes I told her, "Well, Snoop Dogg wears Chuck Taylor's with a full suit." and she quickly responded with, "Well, you ain't Snoop Dogg." and they proceeded to laugh my ass out the building. It's not something I would ever do today, but the world must be changing for a man to land a job wearing sneakers with different colored laces.
