My Take on HYPD
I wear Kenkoh flip flops and sliders exclusively. They have an arch and massage nodules which ease my foot and knee pain. Discovering Kenkoh changed my life. I’ll never wear anything else. That doesn’t mean I don’t think HYPD Slides are cool – they are. You can create your own or purchase NCAA licensed slides. I wish they had soles like Kenkohs, then I’d buy them.
Do Sharks Believe the Hype?
I don’t think these guys are going to get a deal here. Back in season 8, Mark, Kevin, Barbara and Lori passed on iSlide, a custom slide business. While the company went on to huge success, it didn’t interest the Sharks. Like HYPD, iSlide has NCAA licensed slides; they also have NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR and a slew of other licensed slides.
Lori’s objection to iSlide was “anyone could do the same thing.” 7 years later, in season 15, HYPD has. Rubin sells iSlides on Fanatics, so he’ll have a conflict. The other Sharks already passed on a similar business, so they’ll be out.
