MANDATED WEAR: THE ACNE STUDIOS TRIPLE LO

​Images via Neighbour

I don't know about your dystopian futurescape, but, in mine, everyone wears these Acne Studios Triple Lo tennis shoes (available at Neighbour in black and olive). In fact, they are part of the dress code mandated by the Bureau of Culture and Civilization. Not that I'm complaining, of course. In fact, complaining earns you a trip down to the Bureau of Social Conditioning for a little "re-education", which in no way resembles the Ludovico technique from A Clockwork Orange. If you hear screams, please ignore them. In fact, many of them are screams of happiness as Citizens reaffirm their love of the Collective. You must remember: the Mandates protect us all, disobedience endangers the Collective, and always wear your Triple Los. Now, let us join hands for the recital of the Covenant: "I dedicate my soul to the Collective. I pledge my life to uphold the Mandates, may they stand forever. Glory be to the Regent, for He is the light, the truth, and the guardian of all".
