Chaco!!! With Purty new colors! Behold:
When this season’s first round of Chaco sandals arrived, our staff was overwhelmed with joy. Except for one, the new girl, Megan. Standing there in her worn, but not too worn Z/2s, she mumbled something about the company selling out. I tried to explain some basic economic principals to her. I tried to illustrate how it was in Chaco’s best financial interest to combine with a stronger company, and how they’ve done a fantastic job of maintaining quality. She would hear none of it. She just kept trying to convince me that if everyone could just eat more organic products and get more cardio, a socialist utopia is right around the corner. She used a lot of big words and referenced many things that I did not know about. She intellectually intimidated me. She also kept saying the word “irie”. Then she shifted gears and promptly blew my fragile mind by explaining spatial relationships as they pertain to art and merchandising. I felt dumb and had to walk away from the conversation.
Stay irie, capitalistic, and have a great week!
