LIHU‘E — Denise Zumwalt is excited to announce that Cobian footwear shoppers can meet Bethany Hamilton in person later this month.
“July is Cobian month,” said Zumwalt, owner of Flip Flop Shops at Kukui Grove Center in Lihu‘e and, recently, the Koloa Village Shops. “Bethany Hamilton has her own brand of footwear in the Cobian lineup.”
For the remaining days of July, shoppers can enjoy the Cobian promotion taking place at both Flip Flops Shops.
“Coach Z and myself will be partnering with Cobian footwear to host Bethany Hamilton at the Koloa Village Shops on July 30 from 3 to 5 p.m.,” Zumwalt said. “Bethany will be speaking. There will be live music, food, and a lot of free giveaways to celebrate Bethany coming back to Kaua‘i.”
During the Cobian promotion, Zumwalt said anyone who tries on or purchases a pair of Cobian slippers (it doesn’t necessarily have to be a Bethany Hamilton design) at either of the Flip Flop Shops through July 30 gets to enter the drawing to meet Hamilton in person following her live appearance in Koloa.
“The drawing will be done on stage at the event on July 30, so the winners must be present,” Zumwalt said.
Additionally, Coach Z said anyone purchasing a pair of Cobian slippers will receive a free, specially designed Hamilton poster with their purchase during the Cobian promotion period.
Examples of the artist’s Bethany Hamilton-inspired work adorn the walls of both Flip Flop Shops.
They serve to whet the appetite for the specially created Bethany Hamilton poster that accompanies Cobian purchases in July.
