What a croc
It seems to me that the people at Nike may well have fallen victim to Chinese whispers.
Somehow the statement “Crocs are selling like hot cakes we should do something similar” has resulted in Nike producing a pair of Air Force One crocs.
Problem is the only thing the new Nikes have in common with Crocs is the word croc.
Crocs as we all know are ugly plastic shoes whose popularity remains a mystery.
The Nike shoes are limited edition Air Force Ones made out of crocodile skin.
As you can imagine the leather hating Croc wearing folks from the National Animal Welfare Society are not happy.
“What a horrific and objectionable way of making money,” said spokesman Nick Rudge.
Here’s hoping the rumour that Nike are about to make an Anaconda shoe remains little more than a rumour.

thanks stan :)
i know it's probably 'cos i'm not an ad person, but since when did some early 90s success give anyone the licence to continue to be so obnoxious?
i know that the whole 'just do it' thing is supposed to be brand/advertising holy grail, but honestly i'm really over the whole 'nike rule the world' idea that kicks around planning/advertising. it feels just like they're vomiting the same old crap whilst continuing to undertake suspect business practices and over-the-top wank.
sorry stan - i think i just vomited on your blog... i'll keep my mouth shut next time and vent on my own turf.. :)
wow...I used to think Crocs were the ugliest shoes ever created, but something made out of the skin of a real crocodile seems even uglier. How could they do that??
Stan - completely off topic, but I wanted to congratulate you on being the first to "get it". If you know what I mean. You were spot on with my influence on the project I'm currently working on.
Good man.
I am sure that has to be an urban online myth, but saying that I used to live in the Lower East Side and there were a lot of shoes made out of shiny gator skin!
Crocs btw, I just do not understand! I know that Uggs are everywhere but at least they are comfy and keep your feet warm!!
The Grey and the Green aren't working.
