Wes is rocking the grassroots trend to wear sneakers without laces. This trend actually led one fashionista into a run-in with homeland security police on the CTA Redline. According to ChicagoNow, the police identified the man as a “security risk” because recently released prisoners often wear shoes without shoelaces, which are classified as a dangerous tool by jails and prisons. Chicago police detective Andre Watkins discussed the new style, saying in the article that the suspect “brought a fashion trend to my attention.” No need to worry about Wes, he was on his way to Lollapalooza and performs with a local band.
