Er, possibly.

That’s right, Jimmy Choo shoes are on their way to the Holy Land! Apparently, luxury eyeglasses importers A. Stoyer now have distribution rights for Jimmy Choo shoes and is about to launch a big marketing campaign to promote them.

Jimmy Choo shoes originally came to fame in the series Sex and The City, thanks to the main character Carrie Bradshaw and her obsession with the shoes. Let’s hope my wife doesn’t get quite as obsessed, what with price tags reaching the big $$$$ range…

I think it’s safe to say you’ll find your favorite Jimmy Choo shoes in the most exclusive shops in Israel…

Despite the parent company’s seemingly “past it” image, they are expanding their outlets by opening two new stores in Kfar Saba and Haifa (they already have 13 stores nationwide, as well as many other selling points).

Crocs Israel was once very protective of its brand, even suing those who dared to sell copies of their product for a much cheaper price. As simple economics takes over, that has all changed, and they are offering lower prices on some of their models, down to as low as 100 shekels ($25). 

Their flagship shoe, the clog with the open back, and quite possibly the ugliest shoe ever invented, is still going strong. A fan of the clog I’m not, but I do have a pair of Crocs flip-flops. Very comfy they are too. And my kids have also been bitten, largely due to the clever marketing of Spiderman and Dora branded kids Crocs.

And yes, sit down, relax and take a deep breath. Crocs are moving into the clothing world. Oh boy.

Do you have a pair of Crocs?
