Queens Sneaking Up on Milan as World's Fashion Capital
If you saw Coming to America, you know that Queens boasts some pretty snazzy dressers. (If you haven't seen Coming to America, leave now. Just leave.) You've got Mr. McDowell, the entire Soul Glo family and Saul, who looks My-T Sharp for a fossil.

And let's not forget GQ boys David Wright and Jose Reyes. They look fantastic explaining, in a post-game interview, how the Marlins came into their house and thumped them in a season-finale series that meant everything.

But now comes Queens' most significant contribution to fashion since "The Double-Bagger."

Presenting ... wow ... New York Mets Crocs!

Lest you consider this gift for the holidays, let me remind you of this classic Bill Maher rant:

NEW RULE: Stop Wearing Plastic Shoes

It was only a year ago when only preschoolers and mental patients wore these.

But now grownups all over America have gone Croc Crazy. The latest step in our unending quest to dress as casually as humanly possible. You know I used to wear flip-flips, but they're a little dressy. I want clothing I can hose down.

Admit it, we're a nation of slobs who won't be happy until we can go to the mall in a diaper.

PK,
I so know what you mean. I was at the Dallas Stars game and saw the StarsCrocs in the fanshop and nearly soiled myself laughing.
I almost bought a pair for my roomie as a joke.

What's your shoe size?

Yeah, well, what do you expect from the Mets?

The only use I can see for those shoes is, um, nope, can't think of one.

I confess my douchebagness....I have Notre Dame crocs and I rock them. Not in real public places, but they are the most comfortable shoes other then my Uggs.

I am pathetic.
