So, in the previous entry, I asked you guys to make a wild guess on the brand of the shoes in this pic!

That entry received a whooping 40 comments! And to my surprise, most of you guys are correct! But there were also guesses like Uniqlo, Timberland and even Pedro! LOL!

Anyway, I can’t deny that I was originally a hater, which was under much influence by Xiaxue and William Sledd. But before you check out the links and be converted to another Anti-Crocs, hear me out!

I believe a lot of people hate Crocs ‘cos its very first design is, well erm, not very fashionable.

The classic design seemed to have left a very bad impression and didn’t receive a good response from the public. Somehow, Crocs are then being stereotyped as an ugly footwear.

BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THE LATEST DESIGNS???

They’re actually quite neat! Like this one I’ve gotten (courtesy of the kind folks from Crocs).

Quite nifty, eh?

Ahh, a couple of months ago, Crocs contacted a bunch of us bloggers and held a little sharing session over at The Screening Room @ Ann Siang Road.

We got to share our frank views and impression on Crocs and also looked at their latest line of shoes.

We met JP McCarvel, who has been with Crocs since 2007 and he’s also the moderator of the new Crocsideas.com site.

What is Crocsideas.com?

It’s basically like a speaker’s corner for Crocs! It is dubbed as a laboratory for Crocs customers to share, innovate, express and explore ideas around Croc’s products and services.

So you like tell them, what’s nice, what’s not, what needs changes, and you can even suggest your own design ideas into their shoes. Your voice gets on to the website, and it gets viewed and voted and eventually the best ideas get integrated into upcoming product lines!

More importantly, credit will be given to you if your idea is being executed!

I had this glow-in-dark idea!

Don’t you have to agree that it’ll be like a perfect pair for clubbing if you crave for some attention?!

Ha!

Anyway, talking about the design, here’s some of the new shoes displayed during the session.

Aren’t they a whole lot different from the classic design?!

That’s a huge ass classic “Beach” Crocs! So anyway, my favourite one from there is the “Realtree Yukon”. It looks artsy!

Do head over to Crocsideas.com and give some guru advice of yours on how to improve on the classic “Beach” design! Have your voice in Crocs!

P/s: This is NOT an advertorial even though I’ve gotten a free pair from Crocs! I genuinely like Crocs better now ‘cos they’re new range is quite impressive!
