Sam：认为"赤脚男孩夏天"是富裕白人故意制造的潮流，以炫耀特权和阶级地位，这种行为在不同种族的人身上有着不同的含义和后果。他认为这是一种"隐形财富"的表现，是旧的炫富方式的升级版。
Saeed：不相信"赤脚男孩夏天"是出于健康或其他理由，而是一种特权的展示。他指出，在公共场合赤脚行走对不同种族的人有着不同的含义和后果，白人这样做被视为潮流，而其他人则可能面临负面后果。他认为这是一种对"热辣女孩夏天"的模仿，带有种族色彩。
Zach：认为"赤脚男孩夏天"并非真正的潮流，只是少数名人的行为，并不能代表大众。他认为这是一种表演性的行为，目的是让名人看起来更酷。他认为这种行为反映了晚期资本主义和名人文化危机。
Sam: 'What kind of people get to walk around barefoot in public and it's cool for them? And what kind of people don't get to do that?' 'So they did this on purpose and they want us to think that it makes them even cooler.' 'This feels a little aligned with another trend that I've been observing online...But this idea of stealth wealth, which really came out of a close viewing of succession, you know, how do the really, really, really rich dress?'
Saeed: 'I don't believe in stealth wealth. I don't believe in this grounding. I don't believe in any of it.' 'Whereas if a black person or a brown person were to walk down the streets of LA barefoot, suddenly, you know what I mean? You might be getting arrested, actually. You might be accused of public loitering all of a sudden.' 'Also, the fact that they're calling it Barefoot Boy Summer as like a ripoff of Hot Girl Summer, which is from Meg Thee Stallion, just feels also racialized.'
Zach: 'And I read that and I was like, okay, sure. You're making a mountain out of a molehill that is called Jacob Elrody, the actor from Euphoria, who was recently photographed leaving a coffee shop barefoot. And I was like, okay, he's one person. Does he represent other people?' 'So they did this on purpose and they want us to think that it makes them even cooler.' 'And I just – to me, it feels like this intersection of late capitalism collides with this crisis of celebrity.'
