Flipping the top part of Nike socks down so the logo is upside down, a trend started in 2018 along with the Nike boycott to protest Nike's support of Colin Kaepernick. Used to subtly signal to others you hold conservative views.
Blake: Why does that guy have his socks flipped down?
Derick: It's the Nike flip, he's probably a Republican.

Derick: Cause of Colin Kaepernick, remember how Nike supported him? People got mad and started flipping the logo on their socks down.

Blake: Damn I thought it was just a weird trend.
