National Flip Flop Day

Did you know that June 17th (that’s tomorrow) is National Flip Flop Day? Well now you do. NFFD is legit too… and not just because we love flip flops. It celebrates the coming of the Summer Solstice (which is June 21st this year) and raises awareness for Camp Sunshine, a year-round facility where kids with life-threatening illnesses can go have a little fun. Very cool.

Stand by, we’re about to drop some history on ya. 

The flip flop design takes its cues from the Japanese zori, which was popularized in the Western world when soldiers returned home from the Pacific post WWII. The modern flip flop was born in the 1950’s in New Zealand, or in the 1940’s in Hong Kong; depending on whose side of the story you are on. 

At Cushe, we’re not into taking sides on this. We just know flip flops are great warm weather kicks and ours have the fresh style you’d expect from any of our designs. So wear your flip flops proudly on June 17th and party with us on Twitter for a chance to win one of 5 pairs of Cushe flip flops that are up for grabs!  As always, share your flip flop love with us on Facebook. 

We said flip flop like 2 billion times in that last bit... and we're not sorry for it.

Laters!

Spring Fling

Most of the country got a taste of something last week and like anything that tastes great, we want more.  If some is good, more is better right?  We're talkin’ about spring weather here!

The first time it hits 60 outside, we lose our jackets and get a magical t-shirt tolerance that on the other side of summer, we don’t have.  60 degrees in late September feels down right arctic, but that same 60 degrees in March… and we’re living on the equator baby!  This of course begs the wardrobe question we care about most; what shoes do you wear?

Footwear decisions aside, the first hint of great weather demands you get out and enjoy it.  Which we hope you did, because now it’s like 30 degrees again in the Midwest.  Bummer.

Spring may have technically started, but the matching weather is still on the horizon.  Like any good little camper, it’s good to always be prepared - which is why we’ve started unpacking our flip flops.  Here at Cushe, we know anticipation is part of the fun anyway.  So stay strong, Midwestern friends; and don’t forget that when life gives you bad weather, travel!
