I have to say, I just cannot get used to this new fashion of kids wearing socks with sandals. Call me square, but wow, that's an ugly look. But at least BJ's socks are Orange, so that counts for something! LOL

I may call you square for using the word "square" to indicate something other than a shape... but agree about the sandals and socks thing.

They are not sandals, they are flip flops which are different than sandals in which socks are not worn with them.

As someone who is relatively young and played aau, high school and college athletics, socks with the flip flops is very very common and something I still do quite a bit. For as fashionably wrong as it might be its really really comfortable and convenient lol.

I think Roberson will eventually be a stud [and he was rated higher than top 50--more in the 20-25 range]. And I think that down the road, BJ will prove to be an impact player, as well.

But I completely, 100% agree about the others. Chino and Patterson look like four year program guys. Yes, we want to land blue chip recruits like McCullough, but guys like Chino / Patterson could have big impacts, as well, and be the glue guys over the course of their career.

scoout did their final rankings today Roberson dropped all the way to 52 i believe

I'm not trying to argue but I thought they were the same thing. What is the difference?

Here in Philly a sandal is a shoe usually with a back to them and either an open or closed toe front. They are worn with different types of summer dress clothing/outfits. Flip flops are usually worn around the house, beach as a shower shoe or after sporting events w or w/o socks depending on how jacked up your toes are. Lol

This has divulged into quite the conversation about proper flip flop etiquette . Who woulda thunk the topic could have sustained its own multi page thread . And for the record I have been rocking flip flops and sandals for years... I just didn't know I was ahead of the in crowd while doing iy

I've always defined the difference as being flip flops snap up as you raise your foot (the name describes the sound they make) and sandals don't. Either way, I'm not a fan of socks with either. To each there own.

You guys are adorable. Only men would need to have a long-winded, clarifying discussion about the difference between sandals and flip flops. Of course, we know you normally have more important things on your minds! (JLH anyone?) At any rate, those pictures have just put the cherry on the shoe wear sundae. Next topic! Hats vs. caps? Ehh, too easy.

That's what I think of with flip flops. Also known as slippers in Hawaii I believe.

The ones BJ was wearing are known as shower shoes up here as far as I know.

That's like yelling 'squirrel' at the dog park.

And excuse us for not having our shoe vernacular as finely tuned as the rest of the ladies on this board. We shall try harder.

If it were women, they'd be talking about the color and what accessories they needed to complement them.

Speaking of Jerusalem Cruisers anybody still wear these?

This seems like the right place to shamelessly plug my friend's Kickstarter that needs some help -

What about Umbros?

What about Umbros?

Best thing about these. I wore one pair so much, ended up fading part of the word, and you guessed it, just for tee, they became:
bros!

Swear to it, just so happened to be what was left of the word.
Still to this day, when friends do impressions of me, goes something like "bro, you know how good I am, right bro?"

What about Umbros?

I used to rock umbros and sambas... Circa 1999/. I made that sheet look good, with shin high socks no less.
