It's officially the end of the world...the four horsemen are in sight...and do you know what they're wearing? Crocs' clothing.
Yes, the manufacturer of possibly the ugliest footwear ever created is moving onto clothing. Soon you'll be able to buy shirts, shorts, and skirts containing the same spongy foam resin that they use to create their shoes. Once blended with natural fibers, the clothes will be breathable, "sweat-resistant", and (as a spokesperson is quoted as saying the fabric will have "all the properties of the shoes") presumably very ugly.
Men's and children's clothing will be on sale this October in the US, womenswear will follow next year. To once again quote the unnamed spokesperson, "Men's and children's clothes are a bit less complicated. Waiting until 2008 allows us to take time over our women's fashion range."
Quite frankly, the mind boggles...
Yikes. Truly frightening!
ReplyDeleteCue the funeral march! I'm scared!
ReplyDeleteMost frightening is that the shoe sales seem to be so good as to enable them to branch out ...!
ReplyDeleteYou should be worrying about something real, like Karl Rove on the loose, or Iraq. Crocs are cool because they have a funky European design, are comfortable and great for the beach and pool, and they also spare me from having to look at the nasty ass feet of the unwashed flip flop or neo hippy birkenstock wearers. If you are wearing Crocs other than the beach or pool, you are sad, though.
ReplyDeleteOmg, Ced and I hate those shoes!
