Good News: You Can Still Get Your Hands On Post Malone's Jibbitz

The bad news: Post Malone’s second round of Crocs sold out in only a few hours.

The good news: You can still get your hands on his sweet, sweet Jibbitz.

Here’s the part where I gotta admit I had no idea what a Jibbitz was & had to ask Ria. In fact, I even had to Google what Crocs consisted of because I knew what they were but didn’t know what made them so ‘special’.

Crocs Croslite material is not made of EVA foam. We can not disclose its contents as it is a proprietary closed cell resin. Crocs fully molded clogs and other styles are made of Croslite material, which is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning.

Ah, got it.

I thought Post Malone was more of a White Iverson’s guy (::crickets::) than a cell resin clog guy but the collab makes sense. He’d previously announced his love for the brand on several platforms & then Crocs announced their partnership in a press release this past November:

Formally partnering with Post Malone, a long-time Crocs fan who is not afraid to poke holes in convention, is an authentic and natural fit for the brand. Crocs, known for never wavering from its identity, is wrapping up the second year of its Come As You Are™ campaign, which celebrates the uniqueness of individuals and inspires everyone to be comfortable in their own shoes.

Both pairs have certainly embraced his uniqueness, & that’s where the Jibbitz come in. They’re shoe-charm accessories that you punch through your Crocs like earrings, and though the shoes are sold out the Jibbitz remain. As he tweeted out himself,

“U can tell a lot about a man by the Jibbitz in his Crocs”.

Well thank God those are still available then. The shoes themselves (originally $59.99) are going for a waaaay jacked up price on other sites but you can cram tiny versions of his face tatt onto your other Crocs for only $9.99.

What a world.

I want to write about how I just don’t get it, but as I sit here in my old Payless sneakers I know that it’s I who is out of touch.

Ahhh – Just kidding… what the fuck guys?

Really though, I used to shit on shoe trends like Uggs but man, once you slide your foot into one….

As one final note – whenever I write something I usually check to see what other writers at Barstool have covered on it. When I put ‘Crocs’ in the search bar I was delighted to see the first thing popping up wasn’t the shoe, but Australian politician Bob Katter who went viral for tying in croc attacks with gay marriage.

Lest we forget…

“I mean, you know, people are entitled to their sexual proclivities. Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom, as far as I am concerned,” he said during a press conference. Also, Katter said he’s got bigger things to worry about — namely, the crocodiles that keep eating Australian citizens. “I ain’t spending any time on it [same-sex marriage],” Katter said. “Because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in north Queensland.” – Bob Katter
