I really enjoyed this multi-page Tommy Hilfiger ad. It depicts some young guys (maybe interns or pages) wandering around Capitol Hill in suits. Not bad. But then upon turning the page, it shows the footwear. Elastic-side 3/4 high boots. From any perspective, I’m pretty sure that consensus would be that these boots are dubiously appropriate for a business formal ensemble. But for me personally, the idea is even more entertaining.
During my years in Brazil, we called this particular variety of footwear “Drunk Boots.” They were the most inexpensive footwear available. They are easy to get on and off, even when inebriated and they are totally ugly. For these reasons, they are the preferred footwear of the homeless/drunk population where I was in Brazil. In Sao Paulo, you can find these boots on the feet of 90% of every yellow-eyed homeless pingado around.
But hey, if Hilfiger says it works, it works.

hahaha! i thought you were going to say that they are multi-functional and they can be used as beer kozis or something.
I think Hilfiger was drunk when making this decision so he made a drunk call and hasn’t realized his mistake yet. Poor him when he opens the magazine. His memory will come back and he will drop his head in shame.
