10.9.2023 – not wear in public,

not wear in public,
I don’t want people to think
I’m a weird person

“I will not wear those in public,” he said. “I don’t want people to think I’m a weird person.”

So said Jared Watson, an assistant professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business about Croc’s Shrek Crocs with ears.

As quoted in the article, Crocs Cowboy Boots? ‘Don’t Overthink It. by Callie Holtermann.

Ms. Holtermann writes, “Many apparel brands would risk undermining their credibility with a stream of gag products, said Jared Watson, an assistant professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business. But Crocs has found a way to poke fun
at people who already think the shoes are ugly. “With that sort of mentality of hate-consumption or hate-engagement, Crocs has had this opportunity to really push those boundaries,” he said.

As soon as the cowboy boot idea came up, it was game over. “That meeting took us about 12 minutes,” Ms. Cooley, the company’s chief marketing officer said.

All I can say is … if you are looking for the pair of boots to wear when you die with your boots on … these just might do the trick and fit the bill at the same time.

All I can say, who think anyone who would wear these MIGHT be a weird a person?
