A song made by Foster The People named after the luxury footwear. It's known for it's particularly upbeat yet unsettling musical composition/instrumental, and dark lyrics regarding a troubled youth named "Robert" who has fantasies of shooting up his school. If you hear someone humming this song... particularly if they're white, named Eugene, have a bowl haircut, wear a trench coat/fedora/tie under shirt/etc., sport a neck beard, and/or if they have known association with the brony, weaboo, or furry fandom. It's best if you vacate the premises ASAP.
