This has been a pretty crazy year for pop star and living face tattoo Post Malone. First, his luxury jet blew two tires when it took off, and was forced to make an emergency landing. (His first words after landing? "I f**king hate flying.") Then he was involved in a high-speed car accident, when his assistant, who was driving, crashed into a Kia. (I assume his first words afterward were "I f**king hate my assistant.") The unlucky streak continued, when armed thugs broke into his house, stole about $20,000 and pistol-whipped the current resident. (Post was not living there at the time. But if he was home, I think he would have said, "I f**king hate armed thugs).
When you have a harrowing experience, it gives you new appreciation for life. We're on this planet for a limited amount of time, so you better make the most of it. Now, having narrowly escaped three situations that could have been life-or-death, what will Post Malone choose to do? Design his own line of Crocs. Obviously. It turns out the Rockstar singer is a huge fan of the footwear, and Crocs is a huge fan of famous people promoting them.
Crocs are frequently slammed for looking horrendous, so it's surprising they'd want to collaborate with a clean-cut, handsome young man like Post. Recently high-heeled Crocs became a thing, and people are actually wearing them, proving once and for all that there is no God. Just kidding. I can't say whether or there or not there is deity, or deities, responsible for creating the universe. But I can say that Post Malone has created his own line of Crocs, and they are already sold out.
The collaborated, called 'Post Malone x Crocs Dimitri Clog,' is described by the manufacturer as a "devilishly awesome take on the iconic Classic Clog." It includes six custom-designed Jibbitz, which are plastic decorative charms you can plug into the holes. Post's custom Jibbitz include his infamous 'Stay Away' tattoo, his 'Posty Co' logo, and, I assume, a half-empty can of Bud Light full of cigarette butts.
"If you like something, go get it," Post Malone said in a statement to Hypebeast. "I wear Crocs everywhere from the bar to the stage and I felt it was the perfect collaboration to get together with Crocs and give the fans what they've been asking for."
"Amidst his record-setting year, when Post tweeted 'U can tell a lot about a man by the Jibbitz in his Crocs', that really got our attention," stated Crocs chief marketing officer Terence Reilly. "Post Malone is a beloved creator and represents what it means to be comfortable in your own shoes, so collaborating on product design is special. We're thrilled with how the Post Malone x Crocs Dimitri Clog turned out and excited about what's to come. Stay tuned."
Well, keep living your best life, Post!
