Take A Bite Out Of This
Humongous clogs
To be honest, I’m not a big fan of Crocs, or at least the clogs that launched their brand.
Ironic isn’t, that the most hideous design they have to date is the one that made them, well, Crocs. The important point here is, that they have continued to evolve to accommodate a larger market, especially those who have a strong feeling of dislike towards them.
Another ironic thing, the good ones – like the Malindi, Prima, and Santa Cruz – don’t look anything like Crocs. So what makes a piece of footwear Crocs? My train of thought would look something like: Crocs is to footwear as Teflon is to cooking pans. I don’t know if that makes any sense but Crocs, at least to me, is a kind of material and we could see that in their collections. Fine, they may add some canvas here or leather there, but the sole or base would still be Crocs material, right? Yeah, kind of like Melissa shoes if you’re catching my drift.
Anyway, I was invited last July 1st to a private Crocs event. I’m still unsure why I was invited, perhaps it was telepathy at work – god knows I’ve been wanting a Prima and Santa Cruz for ages, only I always forget when I go shopping. But I need not worry because they’re giving me my first pair and I’ve chosen this baby right here:
P.S. You can click on the photos to enlarge.
Isn't she lovely? Sorry, the askew ribbon was my fault. Heh.
Some other eye candy which, if given a chance to choose more than one pair, I would also have gotten.
It's velveteen goodness, reminds me of Dorothy's ruby red slippers
Trust me, they're comfy high-heeled shoes
JP McCarvel, the Crocs Events Specialist, was sporting these cool kicks and in my head I was going, “Hey, why isn’t he in Crocs?” Well, it is Crocs, much to my and Belinda’s amazement.
Axis goes rugged
Too bad they didn’t have these in women sizes. Maybe I can go and suggest it over at Crocs Ideas.
Two heads are better than one. In this case, more than two, definitely.
Note: Aww, there’s a typo on their flyer.
