These are the flip flops my youngest son Skylar designed last August that won a company wide contest sponsored by his employer OLD NAVY and were voted as the best male shoe design by fellow employees of OLD NAVY, THE GAP and THE BANANA REPUBLIC. It had been narrowed down to the top ten and his came out on top. They just arrived in stores this past week and are constructed of 100% recycled materials and sell for $5.00 a pair. Congratulations SKY!!! Now if only the company would acknowledge his contribution with an in store promotion or some of the profits or a bonus or a thank you or... ANYTHING! Makes my cynicism about corporations all the more justified when NO ONE in management or the design department or ANYWHERE else even called to tell him they would be arriving...... Pathetic. Am I biased about this? You bet. Too bad it just mirrors all the other impersonal behavior exhibited by too many large companies. Anyhow... if you stop by Old Navy, please pick up a pair for his sake...As for the ladies, a female employee won the female design, so help her out too...thanks
