Examples

“Sports mode is for those who walk with purpose, ensuring the Crocs will remain secure even if you're running away from the ball at the stroke of midnight.”

“Personally, no one should wear them (unless you’re 10 and under or you are on the deck of your boat)...but you certainly shouldn’t wear the strap. Sports Mode makes an already ridiculous shoe – even more ridiculous.”

“No, these casual sartorial dreamers want to turn their Crocs into full-on athletic footwear by entering them into what the internet has deemed “sport mode.””

“Crocs previously tweeted “Bestie are you ok your Crocs aren’t in sport mode” and “It’s a sport mode kind of day isn't it” to followers.”

“The idea of “sport mode” for Crocs is rooted in sarcasm, but there is some truth to the fact that the tab will make your Crocs more activity-friendly. So, if you have a pair of Crocs and flip down the tab, congratulations, you just went into “sport mode”.”
