“Real Rich People Sh–‘: Steve Harvey’s Slippery Shoe Hack has Fans Checking their Bank Accounts

Steve Harvey is out here on the ‘Gram dropping OG gems to keep fellas — and ladies — from slipping and sliding around like James Brown.

The comedian shared a video of his hack to rid new shoes of their slippery soles with caption, “Go get you a steak knife.. cut/criss cross..straight up and down. Kills all the slip. Done. *OGtrippletripple #familyfeudsa #killsatheslip.”

Although useful, several commenters were left clutching their chests as they watched Harvey slice the sole of new leather shoes.

“I feel like there has to be a better way to do this”

“This is out of my tax bracket” and “this some real rich people sh– right here,” were comments that racked up laughing emojis from those who agreed their budget did not have room for Harvey’s shoe hack.

“You need to be a certain type of ‘rich’ to slice your designer shoes like that. Lemme keep slipping. I’ll enjoy the ride 😄”

Now, those keeping up with the romance between Harvey’s stepdaughter Lori Harvey and rapper Future would be remiss if they did not take advantage of an opportunity to make mention of either of the love birds. So, of course, folks jumped at the opportunity.

“Future don’t get caught ‘slippin’ 😭😭” and similar messages found their way into the conversations, only adding to the laughs being had in the photo’s comments section.

All jokes aside, fans all agreed that Harvey is everyone’s sharp-dressing television uncle. Since wedding his longtime love Marjorie Harvey, he’s upgraded his life and entire wardrobe.

Gone are the days of Harvey wearing oversized linen suits and a high top. The 63-year-old now rocks threads from luxury fashion labels while his parades the streets of Paris during Fashion Week giving models a run for their money.

“Y’all are just wooo so beautiful 😍💜💜”

“I LOVE me some y’all! Keep doing whatcha doing!!”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
