Before I ever had any crocs I saw people wearing these kind and always thought they were very cool looking. By the time I went to see if I could buy one they were already discontinued or sold out and the only Lisa Frank crocs they had were the unicorn ones which don’t appeal to me much so I found a website where these were available. I’ve had them over a year and these might be my favorite pair that I own. Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t they’re jibbitz that are supposed to come with these crocs or were all of them different and It depended on when you got them?. I know I’ve seen these as early as 2021 so maybe since I got these last year some of the jibbitz from the 2021 ones were switched out but I do feel some jibbitz might be missing. Not a big deal still love them but feel some maybe missing. submitted by /u/FunkyChickenBalBag to r/crocs [link] [comments]

Trying to figure out what to get my son for his 12th birthday and honestly running out of ideas 😅 He’s into a lot of different things: football, riding his bike, building stuff, a bit of gaming, even started reading more lately, so we’ve tried all sorts of gifts. For example some things that actually worked really well for us recently: LEGO - always ends up building something for hours, got him more challenging ones ( discount code SHIFT15, not sure if it works still) FPRO football mat - he uses it at home when he wants to practice a bit at home (discount code SAVE20, worked last time i checked) Crocs - nothing special, but he loved putting on some jibbitz and they are just comfy (discount code CROCS20 should work) Kindle - didn’t expect it but he actually uses it, started reading more (don't relly have codes, usualy general discounts) BMX bike - probably the most used thing overall Now I’m trying to find something that’s a bit more interesting and not just the usual basic gifts, especially as he’s getting older. What have your kids actually loved and kept using? Always curious to hear new ideas 🙌 EDIT: i found some discount code for the listed items, hope it helps submitted by /u/14Aggressive_Stick to r/family [link] [comments]

i'm not a parent but i have 2 nieces (9 and 6), a godbrother (9), and a goddaughter (8) that are like my kids. my 9 year old godbrother likes reading, he's really into dogman right now and he likes general little boy stuff so he's getting: spiderman crocs & jibbitz, a RC truck, dogman book collection (the ones he doesn't already have), a create your own comic book set, and legos, the free building ones my 8 year old goddaughter loves lol dolls and she likes drawing/painting so she's getting: lol dolls, a playdoh playset, art pad set with paint pencils crayons and coloured pencils, BBW mini mist & hand cream my nieces are pretty chill, they're on the iPad a lot but they also play off the iPad when they have something entertaining to play with. i want their gifts to kind of match/coordinate but still be right for their ages. for my 9 year old niece: fujifilm instax mini liplay & scrapbook, BBW mini mist & hand cream, lip gloss/balm, a sci-fic/fantasy book set (not sure which yet, open to ideas!) twister (shared gift with her sister). i'm iffy on the camera, my first idea was to get the instax mini 12 but i'm not sure if the mini liplay is too advanced for her and its a better idea to just get them both the instax or if the older one should have something more grown up than the younger one. for my 6 year old niece: fujifilm instax mini 12 & scrapbook, BBW mini mist & hand cream, lip gloss/balm, kinetic sand or slime, twister (shared gift with her sister). are these gifts okay? for the parents here would ya'll be happy with your kids having these? should i add more educational stuff? submitted by /u/domicanica to r/GiftIdeas [link] [comments]

1. The Classic White New Balance 624s Nickname: The Lawn Monarchs Best Worn: While mowing the lawn at 7am on a Saturday to assert suburban dominance. Description: These bad boys are whiter than your kid’s excuse for not doing homework. They’re built like a brick house, come pre-loaded with dad confidence, and can handle everything from backyard BBQs to assembling Ikea furniture while cursing under your breath. Bonus: Extra-wide toe box for all that unresolved generational trauma. 2. Skechers Slip-On Go Walks Nickname: The Minivan Gliders Best Worn: School pickup lines and impromptu grocery runs for “just ketchup.” Description: Slip these on when you need to look like you tried just enough. Cushioned for arch support but emotionally unavailable like your father before you. Warning: Once worn, you may never return to laces. Comfort is a slippery slope. 3. Crocs (w/ Dad Jibbitz) Nickname: The Tactical Rubber Clogs Best Worn: Water parks, camping trips, or when chasing a toddler through sprinklers while holding a Capri Sun. Description: Yes, you will be judged. Yes, you will stop caring. Crocs are breathable, washable, and possibly the only shoes capable of surviving a 3-day road trip with children and your in-laws. Bonus points if you’ve added Jibbitz like a wrench, a grill, or a tiny slice of pizza. Dad Power Level: Over 9,000. 4. Merrell Jungle Mocs Nickname: The PTA Snipers Best Worn: Parent-teacher conferences and awkward conversations with other dads at birthday parties. Description: A shoe that says, “I coach soccer, but I also read the syllabus.” Quiet, supportive, and built for sneaky escapes from chaotic birthday party zones. Optional Add-On: Tucked-in polo shirt and a half-full Yeti cup. 5. HOKA Bondi Running Shoes Nickname: The Midlife Crisis Marshmallows Best Worn: Power walks, neighborhood strolls, or rethinking life choices while listening to a dad podcast. Description: These shoes are what happens when comfort meets self-awareness. With enough cushion to absorb your physical and emotional stress, the Bondis whisper, “You may not be fast, but you’re still here, champ.” Side Effect: You will absolutely start talking about your step count. Honorable Mentions: Birkenstocks (with socks): For the dad who owns three grill brushes and refuses to use any of them. Converse All Stars: Trying to be the “cool” dad but threw your back out tying them. Hey Dudes: Look like slippers, feel like hugs, confuse everyone at Home Depot. Final Thoughts: Dad shoes aren’t just footwear. They’re armor. They’re identity. They’re the silent scream of a man who stepped on Legos at 2am but still got up to pack lunches. So whatever you’re rocking—walk tall. You’ve earned those miles. submitted by /u/dadontherocks22 to r/Substack [link] [comments]

Hi friends! My NF and I are going our separate ways on really good terms. My sweet NK (20mo boy) is starting a Montessori daycare that they've been on the waitlist for in August and I'm going back to school at the same time so it worked out really well! By the time I leave, I'll have been with them for a year as a nanny and even longer as a babysitter. We're super close and they've really made me feel like part of their family. They include me in outings on the weekends, take me out to dinner, MB includes me in her girls nights, they introduce me as their friend first, etc. My family loves my NK and my NF loves my family. I truly couldn't have asked for a better family and I will probably never nanny again, both because I'm going to nursing school and because they've totally ruined me for any other family haha. I'm trying to think of a parting gift to give them to show just how much they mean to me! I've gotten my NK a cute little pair of Crocs with Jibbitz to spell his name since he's been really into them lately haha but I'm also trying to think of something a little more sentimental! Any ideas would be much appreciated :) submitted by /u/Block-Quiet to r/Nanny [link] [comments]

Saw these bad boys while buying shoes. Jamaida Mistaika and didn't buy them, but now everyone can dance with the Hemisphere Dancer on their feet. I looked for a Frank Marshall Jibbitz but no luck. submitted by /u/leommari to r/podcasttheride [link] [comments]

Does anyone know if/where I can get sleep token jibbitz for my Crocs? I'm a lifeguard so I wear Crocs daily and I'd like to represent the boys somehow submitted by /u/thepenguin60 to r/SleepToken [link] [comments]

I got a large batch of generic Sanrio Jibbitz.... so I have a seperate post for my big project, I got a J6 it fits a Itty bitty bit smaller maybe [shorter] than a M6/W8 which is roomy on me. I have a pair of m5/w7 but prefer the bigger size... Anyway they fit the same as the eight pretty much just a little wider... That way I was able to get the pretty glitter!! And for like $45 on Amazon vs $75, esp for the "stock" HK crocs... And to be honest I liked creating my own. I have been stalling... But I decked out some of other crocs. The tye dye ones are pretty new, and my baby boy is 3 and has down syndromez- so upset our Down Syndrome awareness jibbitz I got on Mercari are broken. One is somewhere in his baby baby size 2C yellow pair [I posted that pic].. So you see the adult tye dye, adult TEAL Toddler 5/6 Trix which I couldn't "trick out" as they came "trixed" out [Dad joke haha] but I did his yellow/black & Actually think that the characters I used match that was very well! I couldn't find a pic of just the Trix crocs, but him wearing them! Thank you and I really hope you enjoy all my croc photos as much as I do! submitted by /u/Latter-Anxiety8728 to r/crocs [link] [comments]

Tbh I've been trying to find anything RRB related merch like toys or plushies because recently I grew an obsession with the RRB (even more so than the PPG and any other villains dont hate me🥲I like them not because they get shipped with the ppg ok? 👍) and well, there was nothing... Until I found there were croc jibbitz about them on Etsy and I bought them 2 weeks ago and they finally arrived at my appartment and I love how they look The designs are nailed, though they are rare. My only complain is that Butch is smaller than Brick and Boomer, other than that, they're cool 😎 (There are croc jibbitz of the Powerpuff Girls cause they're way too fucking common and idk I don't see myself getting them)(Ok there are the legit designs from the old series and the 2016 reboot but uhhh there are other designs like the stonedpuff girls or the teenage ppg or the ppg with black skin tone, etc. All sold in Mercari and Etsy and Ebay and whatnot)(be careful dont buy them in untrusty pages) submitted by /u/Big_Tackle7565 to r/powerpuffgirls [link] [comments]

The All-New Luke Combs Crocs: You’ll want to move quickly if you want to get your hands on a pair of country singer Luke Combs’ sixth Crocs collaboration, which is set to drop soon. All-New Luke Combs Crocs “Luke Bryan has once again partnered with SKECHERS to launch an exclusive limited-edition collection to coincide with the release of his new album and stadium tour, and recently winning Entertainer of The Year at CMA,” said Michael Greenberg, president of S. These clogs feature a camo look (created in partnership with the outdoor life brand Mossy Oak and the “When It Rain’s It Pours” singer). The pattern used is the original version of Mossy Oak’s famous Greenleaf, launched in 1987. To complete the look, Crocs also offers a set of Jibbitz (with a fishing theme, of course — bobber, hook and reel.) These cufflinks would make the perfect gift for a hunter, teenage boy, or country music lover this holiday season. Continue Reading submitted by /u/GiggleWave to r/crocs [link] [comments]

I just started watching the first episode of season nine and I let out an audible gasp when they showed the boys’ feet as they chose whether to step forward or not. Shaq is ROCKING those navy blue Crocs, Jibbitz and all. I feel very represented in this moment as a fellow Croc-enjoyer. I feel like people who wear Crocs in public don’t care what others think of them and aren’t too serious, which is exactly what I like in a person. Did anyone else notice and love his shoe choice? It made him my automatic favorite. submitted by /u/SammiBanani024 to r/LoveIslandTV [link] [comments]

​ (I’m stuck on a much larger writeup so, in the meantime, I was inspired to go over the history of something quicker and funnier. Wait, did I just say quicker?) Speed. Without being a direct collector of shoes, we can all relate to the amusement of owning a particularly silly pair. When I was 12 years old I had some Forces with these plastic light up laces and that was as popular as I ever got in my school career. From here we can fill in the “how funny would it be if” blanks. How Funny Would It Be If I wore some adult sized Heelys. How Funny Would It Be If I had Sonic the Hedgehog shoes. How Funny Would It Be If I had Soaps from the early 2000s? How Funny Would It Be If Crocs. How Funny Would It Be If Crocs indeed. Crocs? To begin, Clogs are a type of single-piece footwear found throughout the world and traditionally made of wood or some other solid material. They have their place in dance, identified by the distinct sound from knocking one on the floor. While often regarded as a sort of peasant or bumpkin shoe in popular media, clogs have also been adopted by upperclass nobleman throughout history, and both their craftsmanship and paintjobs have positioned clogs as important historical artifacts, works of art, and a type of footwear with equal utility in the modern era. Fast forward to a boat show in 2002. George Boedecker Jr., Lyndon Hanson, and Scott Seamans, were on a sailing trip in the Caribbean when a foam boater’s clog brought by Seamans from Canada induced what is called Capitalist Igneosis—a rare ocular phenomenon wherein dollar signs burst from the eyes. In most cases, a shoe is an extreme financial gamble. The amount of materials required, prototyping, R&D, promotion, and production, make doing so such a rarity that an entirely new shoe doing well is a rare thing. In the case of a foam clog, the simplicity of making one is self-explanatory. It’s one single, molded piece of foam. It need be nothing more. Licensing the design from Foam Creations in Quebec City, the trio would appear unveil their version at a boat show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, bringing with them 200 prototypes of the model they called “The Beach.” What they did not expect, at least I do not imagine, was to sell out of all 200 pairs that same day. Capitalist Igneosis may persist for several years. From that fateful, boozy day in Fort Lauderdale, the design of the Croc has changed very little. A type of water-resistant, odor-resistant foam whose formula is a closely guarded secret, a matching strap for optional ankle support, and a couple dozen holes, finish off the now iconic and infamous look. Look, we’re gonna be totally fair; Crocs were designed for a specific purpose and it’s one they fulfill all the same. It’s a shoe for boat activities. It’s an easy slip-on. No bells or whistles unless you count the optional, fashionable plugs. More on those in a second. Word of mouth is a crazy thing. Crocs had utility and appeal beyond sailing vacations. A whole lot of people saw value in the things, if for nothing else than their initial $30 retail price. In their first year, Crocs made $1,000,000 in revenue. Five years later, they made $330,000,000. Upon going public, their IPO was the largest in the history of footwear. And it just kept going… Brought on by the trio to handle their now pretty fucking massive business, new CEO Ron Snyder saw buttloads of potential with regards to Crocs. Mainly, how many any one customer was willing to buy. Entire families bought matching pairs, people waited until certain holidays to buy color-coordinated Crocs. And given the quick turnaround time on designing and producing the clogs, the team could have a new SKU out and in stores at rates no other footwear manufacturer could dream to match. Know what Jibbitz are? You have but seconds left not knowing what Jibbitz are. There will be a world for you before knowing what Jibbitz are, and after. Sheri Schmelzer, a stay-at-home mother living in Boulder, Colorado, had 10 pairs of Crocs between her, her husband, and their kids. She saw arts and crafts potential between the Crocs iconic ventilation holes and went ahead plugging them up with clay and rhinestones. Her husband, upon arriving home and seeing what his goodly wife had put together, broke to her the tragic news. He had been diagnosed with Capitalist Igneosis. Alongside your Crocs, you, the customer, could now buy Jibbitz, little plug ornaments that fit right into the holes and designed after literally whatever you want. Name it. Trans pride Jibbitz? Trans Pride Jibbitz. In one single year of doing this, The Schmelzers raked in over 2.2 million dollars in hard sales, and that was before taking a deal with Crocs valued at ten million. Jibbitz are now owned by Crocs outright, a piece of Crocs iconography in their own right. Crocs sure had a wild year in 2006. Profits and expansion were unforeseen. Foreign sales were over 30 percent. One in six Israeli citizens own Crocs. Co-founder George Boedecker Jr. left the company in disgrace after an arrest for threatening to stab his brother-in-law to death. Crocs opened a 120,000 square foot superstore in Manhattan. Something else happened in 2006, too. Hmm. Can’t remember what. Think a movie came out or something. The Great Irony Wars We all understand the conversation around irony and sincerity. Doing something because it’s funny versus doing something for personal, uncomplicated enjoyment. What I’m saying is Crocs are not bipartisan. Some people, especially in the early years, hated these things. Time Magazine in 2010 ranked Crocs number 22 on the 50 worst inventions, writer Kristi Oloffson calling them “It doesn't matter how popular they are, they're pretty ugly.” (Yeah, that’s right Kristi, if you ever do a Google search on your own name, I’m calling you out). Bill Maher commented “Stop wearing plastic shoes.” Comic book creator Kate Leth along with a friend founded the blog IHateCrocs dot com that’s still getting updated. Anti-Croc Facebook group I Don't Care How Comfortable Crocs Are, You Look Like a Dumbass has 24,000 members. And I have to ask, what is this in service of? Crocs are fifty dollars. When people call designer fashion ugly, we can at least argue that they’re punching up. Outside of looking a little funky, they aren’t hurting anyone. They do what they’re supposed to do. And a lot of people, totally divorced from “hey look at me I’m in the shoes with the holes,” like them. Don’t get it twisted, I have zero beef with the clogs. It’s just that I’m more of a Foam RNNR guy and, incidentally, when I showed my mom my Foam RNNR’s, the first words out her mouth were “oh, it’s like Crocs.” And the design has clearly been influential. There are Balenciaga Crocs. End of point. It's not like Crocs are totally unfashionable, nothing is. Fundamentally, fashion tells a story regardless of what it is. Someone wearing Crocs prioritizes comfort, ease of access, has probably thrown up in the ocean at least once, definitely one to like totally hang out and stuff. But if hype is indeed a parabola, like I’ve hypothesized, it only follows that hatred leads to love. Ironic or otherwise Speed. Oh, that’s right, the movie. 2006 saw the release of Disney/Pixar’s film Cars. By and large of one Pixar’s less celebrated series (I think the first one is pretty good, I like the road trip vibes) but critically, a huge merchandise mover. I’m serious. Massive. So much Cars merchandise, so many toys, kids love these cars with faces. You could make anything look like Lightning McQueen and little boys and girls would love it. As far as I can tell, Lightning McQueen shaped crocs have been a thing for a while. For kids, you know? Surely the only people who would want such things (sometimes, foreshadowing is fairly obvious). They even got a few styles. Where exactly the drive for adult-sized versions of these shoes came from, who’s to say. But the fever ignited in full in 2017. Collin Bonner, a Change.com user, posted a petition to both Crocs and Disney to, as it was titled, Make Lightning McQueen Crocs in Adult Sizes. Their explanation follows in full: “It is unfair that there are adult sizes in many other movies and cartoons, but not Lightning McQueen! People around the world deserve equality. So many more people would buy the crocs if they were in adult sizes. People from around the Earth believe this problem needs to be considered and addressed.” This petition ended at thirty-three-thousand signatures. Two years later, in May 2019, Crocs suddenly answered the call. I mean, what, would it be hard to do so? It’s Crocs. They probably had a few thousand red clogs knocking around the office and one trip to the industrial decal printer had the whole release sorted out. Now, usually, demand for adult sizes of kid-sized things does not directly translate to actual results. Everyone wants adult-sized Heelys, and they exist, but the amount of people going forth and buying them is considerably smaller. This was absolutely not the case here. The adult-sized Lightning McQueen Crocs sold out in about 24 hours. In the world of shoes selling out, these are still rookie numbers. But the combination of Owen Wilson Car Face and the Dadaist appeal of Crocs as fashion statement meant these were poised to be a big deal. Just think about it. Crocs sold out. When does that happen, ever? Crocs aren’t the type of shoe to sell out, that’s not their MO. They don’t trade on exclusivity. In two short years, however, that ended up being exactly what Crocs did. 2021: Eating Losers For Breakfast Crocs have certainly changed since their inception. Just recently we’ve seen multiple honest to god collabs, some more ironic than others. The Selehe Bembury collab looks like a parallel world where Crocs were always the pits of fashion, as well as a design from Jeff Staple (think I’m up to three writeups where he makes an appearance?) Artist collabs with SZA, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Lisa Frank, Coca-Cola, KFC, Hidden Valley Ranch, Luke Combs, Peeps, I haven’t made up any of these. But these are more niche. We’re talking broad appeal. Like Lightning McQueen. Those who missed their chance at these babies were chomping at the bit for another. Two whole years went by. Always keep ‘em waiting. Then came April 2021. Crocs announces a restock of these now uber-infamous clogs. Maybe the most famous of any they’ve ever made, in terms of recognizability beyond seeing a Croc and going “oh look those are Crocs” in your head. I mean, these light up when you stomp your feet. How have I forgotten to mention that until now, excuse me. So, yeah, 2021. Lightning McCrocs get a restock. But if you learn anything doing this long enough, you know the first restock is the hardest. First time is easy, but the second. I mean, pssh, that 24 hour sellout time could easily be like two hours. Or one hour. Or less than one hour, like I dunno, forty-seven minutes. The Lightning McQueen Crocs sold out in forty-seven minutes. The Crocs website lagged, crashed, wouldn’t let people cart the shoes, botted users back to the homepage, left them in infinite waiting rooms, welcome to my world. Doubly so, because the main culprit of the Crocs website shitting its pants was likely bots. Yup, it was a shoe lots of people wanted, Crocs or otherwise, and sneaker resellers smelled blood in the water. Sites that had never once bothered with Crocs or adult sized children’s Crocs like GOAT or Stockx were now dealing in these things. Always gotta ruin other people’s fun. Of course reactions on Twitter were measured, and very funny. I'll take dictation on a few of my favorites: "This is my 13th reason." "Not getting lightning mcqueen crocs will be my villain origin story" "Me, listening to That’s Life by Frank Sinatra, trying to recover from the fact that I didn’t get the lightning McQueen crocs after waiting on the website for over 2 hours" *pictured, Joker.* "I dont wanna hear a single kachow today..." "my mental stability depended on getting a pair of those lightning mcqueen crocs." "Fuck resellers." It was ostensibly a war between resellers and people I, until there’s a better name, can only call Jenny Nicholson-core. And whaddaya know. Some of the best stories are the ones where nothing is learned In September 2021, Crocs seemed to get ahead of and outright ape the sneaker crowd by leaving the next sale up to a draw. Customers entered a raffle for their chance to purchase the next round of Lightning Mcqueen Crocs, and I assume things went more swimmingly this time around. Or at least more fair. But there’s still one question bugging me: do people like Crocs? Are these specific clogs so popular for any sliver of unironic adoration? I’m going to assume yes. This kind of hype cannot be totally ironic because the final stage of this is actually buying them. Hell, we’ll probably get another restock. Or Crocs will see the money in this and branch out into more CG movie characters people like. Shrek. Probably Shrek. And it’ll have Shrek ear-shaped Jibbitz. And a little frog, too, I dunno. If you’ll allow me to argue otherwise, I think this would be a lateral move on Crocs part. Just the Lightning McQueen ones? That’s funny. Trying to do more of these? That just sounds like giving in to the crowd who only consider these shoes goofy and stupid and only likeable in terms of wanting to be goofy and stupid. I say no. Kill the part of you that cringes. Foam RNNRs are cool, foam clogs are cool, Crocs are cool. They’re popular for a reason, and I see no reason why Crocs can’t occupy the same space as any other cool shoe. Especially when they look like the world’s coolest racing car and light up. Kachow. submitted by /u/freemanboyd to r/HobbyDrama [link] [comments]
