Sweet Kicks: Spring Sneakers We’re Obsessed With

Take a look at the sneakers that we’re dying over this spring.

Springtime calls for sneakers. When you’re ready to break out of boots and booties, but can’t quite commit to sandals (or maybe the sun hasn’t got his hat on yet)  – sneakers are the go-to.

This spring things have been quite different, and maybe not as adventurous as we intended, but we wanted to share our top picks for the season – plus we’ve loved seeing how our community styles our faves.

Play in Tie-Dye; currently available at Famous Footwear

Tie-Dye is everywhere this season, and we aren’t the exception. Style Play comes in multiple colors, but we’re in love with the pop of color from the tie-dye this spring!

Marley in Sweet Grey; currently available at Gliks

Marley is a fan fave. This sweet grey color  is so versatile and perfect for spring. Pair with denim and a simple tee for an effortless California look.

Fruit in White Canvas; currently available at Shoe Carnival

If in doubt, a plain white sneaker goes with everything. Including casual dresses! We’re in love with style Fruit – they are so versatile. We’re convinced it goes with everything in our wardrobe!

Pride Month: Introducing a Special Edition Sneaker

We are celebrating Pride Month by releasing a special edition sneaker!

Across the globe, June is widely celebrated as Pride Month. It is a chance to honor the powerful, progressive, and positive impact that the LGBTQ community has around the world. It is also an opportunity to take a significant stance against discrimination and social stigmas. Pride Month is about positivity and often celebrated by parades, rallies, community events, special merchandise, and other festivities.

To celebrate the wonderful occasion this month, we launched a special edition Marley sneaker. This social sneaker proudly boasts colorful rainbow detailing on the shoe and throughout the insole. As always, the Marley sneaker continues to be one of the most comfortable and easy-to-wear shoes so you can confidently (and comfortably) celebrate all day. Marley features contrast rainbow stitching and a canvas upper with elastic on the vamp for easy off/on so you can effortlessly kick them off when you get home.

Whether you are honoring yourself, your friends, or your loved ones this month, check out our special edition Marley sneaker. They are undoubtedly a pair of shoes you can be proud to wear.

Shop the sneaker on DSW here.

BTS: Spring & Summer 2019 Photo Shoot!

It’s that time of year again: photo shoot season!

Our marketing team spent the beginning of November hard at work prepping to shoot our upcoming styles for Spring/Summer 2019.

One of the days on set, we spent at a beach house on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. We got there just as the day  was breaking, and was fortunate enough to see the most beautiful sunrise. We all enjoyed bagels and coffee for breakfast and then got straight to work turning the house into our photo studio for the day!

 

This shoot was particularly fun, as we got to host a plethora of little ladies on set! Working with kids can be challenging, but these girls were a dream and we all had blast entertaining them in between shots. How cute are they!? (And, I mean, just look at all the adorable mini Blowfish Malibu shoes!)

The details in the house that we shot at were impeccable. Details, like the surfing book pictured below, can really add a lot of specialness to a shot. (The book definitely made it into to images!) And how great is that wooden walkway in the sand (pictured below)? All these little details really help to add to the bigger picture.

We were lucky to work with a super talented photographer again. We’ve been working with Andrew and the team from Matrimony Media for a while now, so whenever we have a shoot, it’s like hanging out with old friends who we don’t get to see very often. There’s lots of goofing around in between outfit changes, but when we need to get to work, we get it done.

Take a look at our photo shoot behind the scenes below!

Overall, shooting in Malibu is always a great time – as it’s our home! All of us love being on the beach and find any excuse we possibly can to escape to our little paradise along the Pacific Ocean.

Guess Which Sneaker Made Buzzfeed’s Best Fashion Sneakers List on Amazon

One of our all-time fave sneakers, Play, made Buzzfeed’s Best Fashion Sneakers on Amazon list! So, we’re kinda freaking out. 

Summer is all about sandals, cute polish, and allowing your cute lil footsies some fresh air on those hot days. But there are some days when simply only a sneaker will do. Whether your pedicure got smudged (I hate that during summer months!)  or you just want to run around in something ultra comfortable all day, sneakers are the ultimate go-to.

Giant media house, Buzzfeed, recently released an article titled, “23 Of The Best Fashion Sneakers You Can Get On Amazon” and Blowfish Malibu is included! Siting that the shoes on the list need to be ,”comfortable, but make it fashion,” we’re stoked to see the sneaker, Play, on the list. The article includes customer reviews, including one review of the style Play from Jessica Hall: “These shoes are awesome! They fit great, are true to size, and are probably one of the most comfortable shoes I own. Buy them — they’re so cute!”  Thank you so much, Jessica! All of us at Blowfish Malibu are so happy the sneakers worked out for you!

WE ARE SO THRILLED ABOUT MAKING THE LIST THAT WE JUST HAD TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS WITH ALL OF YOU. WE ARE EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE TO ALL OF YOU, OUR WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS!

While we’ll always be sandal fanatics, the style Play is perfect for every day wear. (Did I mention it comes in kids too?)  It features no laces, but elastic is sewn in for easy on and off. Super comfy and super cute, Play is a Blowfish Malibu staple and bestseller so far this year. They come in a bunch of colors each season, so there is definitely a color to suit every personality.

Stars and Stripes if you’re feeling patriotic!
