Let’s see whether @MorganStanley or @GoldmanSachs is the first to post a photo of their traders or bankers wearing green shoes which was a @SpaceX mandate. Gotta keep it fun.
There might be a prize!

Steve Jurvetson shares photos of custom green SpaceX Nike sneakers in response to an investor culture challenge
Story Overview
Investor Steve Jurvetson replied to a thread from Gavin Baker with close-up shots of dark green custom Nike sneakers carrying white SpaceX lettering on the side, silver Nike branding on the tongue and heel, textured white soles, and a small white four-leaf clover on the heel counter, all posted as part of a lighthearted push for bank staff to show off green shoes.

Open Question
Custom production path stays unclear
No public details confirm whether the sneakers came from Nike's customizer with added embroidery, a fully bespoke order, or another route, and SpaceX's official store lists no footwear at all.
FYI
Clover detail adds a launch-day wink
The four-leaf clover emblem appears in the photos without any sourced explanation beyond the posts themselves, leaving its exact tie to luck or events unverified beyond the images.
Sentiment
Positive users praise the SpaceX green shoes and tweet animations for their bold design and attention to detail, while a few criticize the involved banks as hypocritical and reckless.

@gkamstra @GavinSBaker @jjtejkl @MorganStanley @GoldmanSachs @SpaceX I actually thought the 555 reference was for the engineers who used to use the ubiquitous 555 timer chips in their electronics projects
