Houston Chronicle mentions JB

From the Houston Chronicle's writer Ken Hoffman:

Mega-entrepreneur

I was shopping for shoes this weekend at Famous Footwear. I bought a pair of ... Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville sneakers. They're cool, like throwback Chuck Taylors, except with a palm-tree logo on the back instead of the Converse star.

So add kicks to Buffett's merchandise line of restaurants, sauces, frozen dinners, Hawaiian shirts, baseball caps, T-shirts and pretty much the whole Sears catalog Caribbean-style.

Me neither, but once I tell the wife about them, I'm sure a pair will somehow make their way into our home

THOSE!!
The 2 flip flops are mine... tennies his..... But if you want the black ones... buy the man's in a size or so smaller than you wear...same damn thing as ladies version and $10 cheaper!

I tried on both of the flip flop styles...liked the ones with the parrots, but not the palm tree on the bottoms....not to comfortable, for me.

I have a pair of flip-flops (palm trees on straps, parrot on soul) and a pair of the sneakers...I love 'em both!

[Bwana Paul]

They're some snazzy shoes.

[UpstateNYPH]

I have the Mens Hurricanes. They are believe it or not the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I love them.

Got 3 pair last night at our local store in The Woodlands...

The display was great... on top of ocean water, were 3 sand islands. one had a tiki bar, like the one on concert stage. The next had a nice palm tree with a neat Margaritaville sign on it... Nice props, not cheaply made.

The boxes the shoes come in are unique. The flip flops come in a narrow box, sideways... all the boxes have a clear window on them and are made to look like bamboo...

The soles of each kind of shoe have something different on them. I can't wait to put my tan sneakers up on the conference table at the next staff meeting.... The soles say MARGARITAVILLE in big red letters under the clear Sperry Top Sider like no slip soles. Very nicely finished... not garish, well maybe a couple of styles were... haha.

I have dibs on the store prop when they are done with it...
