Nicki Minaj Didn't Expect to Spark a Crocs Craze

 Nicki Minaj had no idea hot pink Crocs would be flying off the shelves thanks to her.Earlier this week, the rapper shared a snapshot of herself wearing not much more than a pair of the comfortable clogs, which were accessorized with bedazzled charms, including one of the Chanel logo.

According to reports, the Instagram look led to people rushing out to find a pair for themselves -- "pink crocs" and "nicki minaj crocs" were breakout searches that day, Google Trends said -- and resulted in a 4,900% spike in sales of pink Crocs. The retailer's website apparently crashed, too.
