A friend of ours spotted this KD1750 shoe seemingly while shopping. I’m not sure what brand it is and I know there are expensive shoes out there but c’mon 1750 Dinar is simply absurd and to make things even worse she says she spotted shoes that cost KD2,500+

Now this makes me wonder, were these shoes made for walking or displaying? Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into a trend “Habbah” in Kuwait (just like women bags) because that will be a hell expensive one! What do you say?

Thanks [Mervat]

Say goodbye to Joe’s Jeans and hello to Franklin & Marshall at 360 Mall. I’m F&M fan, well I’m A&F, G&G and Hollister fan as well since they all fall under the same category and have almost similar sport-casual-oriented clothing style.

Joe’s Jeans was closed for good at 360 Mall and was replaced with Franklin & Marshall. Now is it me or is it true that many stores are either closing down or being replaced with other stores in several malls over Kuwait? I can relate as to why this is happening because since Grand Avenue has opened many malls have turned into ghost malls and we have addressed this in a previous post titled “Do they even make any money?“. Expect more to come I say.

It’s been a while since I got my groove on but luckily for me, Crocs was kind enough to provide enough groove for all of us last night! At the Grand Avenues, Crocs hosted a retro event which, for me, was a home-run in all aspects.
So what exactly is retro? – reviving the styles and especially the fashions of the past: fashionably nostalgic or old-fashioned.

And that is exactly what was going down at the Crocs store last night with their 70’s theme!

The 1970s, was a decade that saw many diverse forms of music funk and psychedelic rock and medleys and sketches that aired on local TV. It was also the birth of movies and plays that are still groovy to date such as, Saturday Night Fever and local play “The Salmiya Bachelor” starring Kuwaiti star Abdulhussain Abdulredha. Not to forget, the funky fashion in the 70s that flaunted bell-bottoms, afros, sequins, loud prints and the androgynous hippie look.

The 70’s-themed retro event was held to take us back to the 70s era of funky designs and vintage-themed outfits which was the inspiration behind the iconic Crocs Retro Collection.

The new Crocs Retro Collection is created for the fans of the original clog as well as a more fashion-conscious audience drawn to the funky vintage feel. The Retro Collection keeps true to the signature comfort of Croslite material and at the same time, the retro styles gives the shoes a sporty, performance driven feel.

Crocs products are sold in over 90 countries. Every day, millions of Crocs™ shoe lovers around the world enjoy the exceptional form, function, versatility and feel-good qualities of these shoes while at work, school and play.
