    Yeezy made foam shoes cool and since Crocs already made foam shoes they copied the formula with colabs and limited releases.

    The video doesn’t even touch on making Crocs “cool”… I don’t think crocs have been made cool… I only ever see people clowning on them. The only people who I have ever seen wearing crocs are not people I would consider “cool” lmao. Crocs dont need to be cool anyways, they serve a particular purpose as footwear; they are great for kids, people with certain foot health issues, and are great activewear for moist/wet environments.

    This video didn’t even really talk about anything, there is no message or purpose behind the talk. It’s basically just “look, this guy made some shoes. Wow!” Its not even inspirational, this guys has a masters degree in making shoes but he was still unemployed until he got extremely lucky that someone paid attention to him? This is the opposite of inspirational, saying that even with hard work and dedication you are left to the mercy of people in power/wealth deciding whether you get success or not.

How does bullying take root? Social psychologist Amy Cuddy got an inside view of this question after she became the target of a coordinated campaign to discredit her. Drawing on her own experience and years of research, she gives a clear-eyed analysis of how bullying reshaped our culture and how each of us can practice social bravery — everyday acts of standing up for one another — to end it. (Note: This talk contains discussion of suicide.) (Recorded at TED2026 on April 17, 2026])
