Do you drift slightly when you walk?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 week ago

Considering that Slovakian road workers are surprised by snow during winter every winter, yes, I do drift.

No, that's reserved for Nintendo's upcoming Crocs collaboration, the Joy-Con Crocs!

I have reached the stage where I will wear crocs. Human services helps/my feet hurt/ they are universally accepted.

But I refuse to accept they are a premium piece of footwear. They have become so insanely overpriced for what they are (in general)I have found myself buying knockoff crocs…

I don't mind Crocs myself. But I do find this to be a bit on the absurd side. XD

my family would institutionalize me if i said this; correctly inferring my brain had broken in some catastrophic manner

Faux crocs are awesome and comfy!

[–] sparkles@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I’ve had both and can’t tell the difference. Guess it depends on where you get them.

Crocs actually make a fantastic pair of kitchen shoes. It's not really a croc anymore since they cover all the holes but it's a really comfy pair of shoes to ride a shift out in.

[–] nocturne@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

I have a real pair of Crocs, and my son has a knock off pair. The real Crocs are so much more comfortable than the knocks are, fully worth the price difference.

How about having exclusive games and actual effort in competing in the console market?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Silence, consumer!

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 12 points 1 week ago

Did... Did they call them xCrocks?

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Sadly you need to sign in to your Microsoft account to wear them properly

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still easier to hold than a Duke. :)

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You mean like...Franz Ferdinand?

The Hazard boys? Really? My second guess was, Duke of prunes himself, Frank Zappa

Now you can safely throw something controller-like to the wall. Or punish your good-for-nothing gamer kid...

Have you seen this monstrosity? This is real! It's a fucking Balenciaga crocs.

[–] Magister@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's real? I saw some ads/page on FB about it and thought it was AI generated or some kind of jokes, WTF?!?

[–] tonytins@pawb.social 4 points 1 week ago

It's real... Apparently, they once parented with Adidas. Microsoft really likes 'em shoes, I guess.
