Has anyone else noticed an uptick in bros wearing Birks (or am I just imagining things)? Can anyone tell me what started the trend?

In my day, sandal-wearing bros went for Reefs or Rainbows — you’d never see a dude in Birks who wasn’t a hippie. This is new territory for me. (There’s also the Teva bro but that’s an entirely different Type of Guy.)
@mycorrhiza I know, I know — I still call mine “Berkeleystocks,” and I’ve been wearing them for, oh, thirty years.
I had to get over my hippie-loathing, and come to terms with the fact that they’re just really, really comfortable.
@adamgreenfield Haha I love that. I’m not hating on anything here — I just feel like there’s been an uptick in fratty younger guys wearing them. I reckon some celeb/influencer gets the blame/credit for this and I’m curious who it is (and how bad they are).
I could cop a pair of (vegan) Birks. Here in my part of SoCal we’re not yet to the halfway point of local summer and my flip flops are disintegrating.
