urbanite

May 12, 2021, was a balmy night, and dozens of newly vaccinated young urbanites mingled out on the patio.

It was also the biggest marketing flop in McDonald’s history, with the brand spending an estimated $200 million to advertise a sandwich that very few people — especially not sophisticated urbanites — wanted to order.

Since then, urbanites who can’t afford to rent cottages further north have been able to experience the great outdoors in their own downtown.

With an ankle-high, water-repellent, fleece-lined suede upper and a recycled polyester insole, the urban “shootie” is ideal for sharply dressed urbanites who don’t want to break a hip.
