New Zealand Olympians will wear Crocs in Beijing, it was confirmed when the team’s uniform was officially unveiled in Auckland last night.

The much-maligned plastic clog was there, as part of the casual uniform.

So were several new designs by the shoemaker. New Zealand Olympic chef de mission Dave Currie acknowledged the distinctive foreign-made shoe would prove divisive.

"People seem to either love or hate them," he said.

"There’s no getting away from it. But we want to front foot this story, and my message to those who hate them is simple . . . give us a break.

"Crocs came to us with a generous [sponsorship] package, and there really are no New Zealand shoemakers of note left.
Time to make the move to Australia I think.

I dunno, the aussies are quite fond of sandals and I swore I saw an Olive Garden on every corner.

Ugh. I was looking for a reason to ignore the Olympics this year. Flip-flops were too expensive for the New Zealand Olympic Comitee, I guess.

Thanks a lot New Zealand!
