The annual ESPN awards show, the ESPYS, were held on Wednesday night in Los Angeles. In addition to powerful speeches and recognizing legends, there were plenty of laughs to be had as well.
Hannibal Buress assisted host John Cena for a bit in the show in which he pretends to be from the future. One of the jokes from the skit was that Buress is wearing Crocs, but they're actually Under Armour‘s 2026 Steph Curry 34s.

Crocs smartly didn't pass up an opportunity to capitalize on the free publicity, tweeting that anyone can get their all-white sandals in the present day:

Well played, Crocs.
