Uhhh, we’ll move on that custom, however good for him for going for it, LOLz! He then spoke on to followers, saying:
“This is one of the most disgusting traditions I’ve ever [heard of].”
And engaged in, we think about! He playfully continued:
“I feel like a different person. I feel ashamed of myself. It feels so personal. Such an intimate moment to be shared with so many people. I’ll be discussing this with my therapist at length. At length.”
LOLz, we don’t blame him, and neither does Twitter, as followers shortly began chiming in with their very own takes on the stunt, writing issues like:
“who put harry styles drinking from a shoe on my tl…”
“Harry take off his shoe, put water in it and then drunk it. if I’m not wrong it’s a tradition ?”
“just saw the video of harry styles drinking out of a shoe and let me just say every day i thank the universe that i stan bts who would never do gross s**t like that”
“Sweaty shoe juice no thank u”
“why r ppl cheering i feel sick”
“i cant defend this”
“still thinking about the video of harry styles drinking from his shoe and putting it back on right after”

As for the custom’s origin, many have claimed it began with Perth native Daniel Ricciardo, a Formula One driver, who has been seen chugging from his personal shoe on a number of events. Some even speculated Harry’s determination to partake was a nod to the racer, as they share mutual buddy Xander Ritz — Ricciardo even beforehand informed Australian radio hosts Fitzy and Wippa that the Late Night Talking singer wears his merch “all the time.” He defined on the time:
“[Harry and I] have a mutual friend who is, let’s say, very close to me and it’s someone close to him as well.”
Just bros being bros, we guess! What’s YOUR tackle the Aussie custom, Perezcious readers? Would you ever dare to partake? Let us know within the feedback down under!
