Casual dress brehs?

I was bout to pop some on this morning but it felt weird

I have no problem with wearing Nikes and Adidas but it's something about Jordans that gets me
Honestly, most days at this point. Unless I have client facing meetings, or upper management meeting at the main office I'm causal and wearing J's. But honestly I'm not going to recommend that to people just coming into their professions. It's one more thing for prejudice folks to judge your for when they don't know your abilities. Now I'm a senior in my role, and a VP so nobody I deal with day to day would ever make a comment about it at this point. They pay me good money, and I spend some of on shoes I wished I cold afford in HS lol

Years ago when we were only doing casual fridays I had a woman manager who'd sarcastically drop a "nice shoes" with a smirk when I'd wear them. Now that I'm management I think I wear them as much as a FU to her (who got let go years ago despite her a$$ kissing these white folk). I work hard, do my job, and I wear my Jordans, and when I need to get fresh I kill em with the hard bottoms and tie game.
