Blowfish Malibu is committed to making changes and taking steps in the right direction and that means doing more to reduce our footprint on the planet throughout the year. Through our 4Earth Project and (super cute) collection, we have been able to reduce the use of plastic in our packaging and continue to work on using recycled materials in our shoes where we can.
To celebrate Earth Day, we rounded up some of our favorite 4Earth shots we’ve been seeing all over Instagram. Take a look below!

Spring is here, but more importantly, sandal season is here!
This season we’re loving sandal booties and so are influencers! The tie dye prints are perfect for the Spring and Summer and the best part of these sandals is the zipper along the side making them easy for your little one to put on by themselves. Check out the adorable pictures featuring our Bluemoon-K and Defsie-T sandal booties.

Which pair would you pick up for your little bunny?

Festival season is right around the corner!
Whether you’re headed to the desert or to the city, one thing is for certain: festival season is BACK. There’s nothing we’re more excited for than to dance with our friends to our favorite songs and our team has rounded out some of our top picks for 2022’s festival season. Let us know which pair you’ll be rocking this festival season!
Style Name: Play in “Tropic Come Together”
Allie: I’m a hardcore sneaker girl when it comes to festivals (especially in the desert), but I love how this classic sneaker adopts on a fun and unique print! In my mind, the Play sneaker is perfect for any festival look this season!
Style Name: Clay in “Blue Dazy”
Karen: Gotta protect those feet and be comfy all day at a festival. I love that Clay gives me a little height and style!
Style Name: Alfie
MJ: Sometimes at festivals you just gotta kick off your shoes and feel the grass on your toes! That’s why I’d rock Alfie, the perfect slip-on sneaker.
Style Name: Tia
Nikol: Tia has to be my pick. I love this simple, yet elevated flatform for festival season! The ridged outsole gives them a cool look while adding a nice padding for all that walking and dancing!
Style Name: Maddi
Ashley: My go-to sandal for festival season is Maddi! The two-tone braid elevates the entire sandal and looks super cute all while still being super comfortable. Plus the adjustable strap is an added bonus for me!

Clay in Blue Dazy
“I’ve been living in sneakers, and before the sun comes out fully, I’ll be in style Clay. I love the comfy platform bottom, and the fun blue dazy print this Spring!”
Leigh Rope
“Leigh Rope gives me all the Spring vibes! I love the jute rope look and the flatform style is so in!”
Zelie
“This Spring I’m all about the Zelie sandal. I love the braided straps and the square toe. I’ll be wearing these with distressed straight leg jeans and a white tee – my uniform in the warmer months!”
Bethy
“I love the strappy design details on the Bethy sandal. The 1” micro-wedge heel is a great addition for us shorties and the cushioned footbed allows for all day comfort.
Zailey
“I love the Zailey sandal for spring because it’s an easy way for me to elevate any simple outfit and I’m obsessed with the cute buckle detailing.”

Get to know Blowfish Malibu Graphic Designer, Minjung Shin!
Welcome to the Blowfish Malibu Spotlight, a new feature on the Journal! We’ll be spending some time each month talking with different members of our team and giving readers a little bit of insight into what each person does in the office every day.
Tell us about your position at Blowfish Malibu.
I am the Graphic Designer here at Blowfish Malibu. I work with our Art Director in creating new content and brand assets for the marketing team.
When did you first become interested in graphic design?
My first job out of college was as a graphic designer in the Marketing Department of The Los Angeles Film School. Working in the entertainment industry, in the heart of Hollywood, was a very eye-opening experience that led to further interest in working with a marketing team and designing in-house.
I was freelancing for exclusive clients.
I was overly ecstatic to be scheduled for a virtual interview with Blowfish Malibu after applying during my trip to Hawaii. Luckily enough, we made a positive connection, and I was just counting down the days to joining the team.
My first photoshoot experience ever was with the Blowfish Malibu team. It was a very rewarding learning experience. I’m excited to be a part of this for each season!
Working in the fashion industry has put me in touch with the latest trends. I enjoy learning about the latest and greatest.
Every day is different from the next in terms of project. From email blasts to IG Stories to ads and trade show assets. It keeps things interesting!
I love this city so much that I’ve never moved out of it! I totally appreciate the variety that the city has to offer.
I love the wedge sneakers. They are comfy and provide extra height!
What advice would you have for someone who’s trying to pursue the same career as you?
Don’t be afraid to take risks with your designs.
JUST FOR FUN
Finding new and easy recipes for meal prepping and the great outdoors.
Growing up in Los Angeles has exposed me to ethnic and cultural diversity, as well as a city rich in the arts. I have to remind myself of how fortunate I am to have been raised in a city like this.
Australia or Japan
I think it’d be delightful to grab a bite to eat with Robin Williams or Anthony Bourdain. I’ll take either one!
After a session of self-care!
Don’t be scared, be prepared.
I’m left-handed.
FILL IN THE BLANK!
I learn the most from YouTube and hands-on training. I’m a visual learner.
I can’t live without Hank, my German Shepherd.
You can find me shopping at Amazon.com
My astrological sign is Libra!
I’m scared of Dismemberment. I watch too many true crime shows.
The last book I read was the Harry Potter series.
Most people would say I’m honest.
I’m currently listening to Hall and Oates.
My style mantra is casual all day.
I feel most comfortable in lounging around on a Sunday afternoon.
When I woke up today I felt happy but hungry, lol.
I feel the best when I’m adequately hydrated.

Take a sneak peek behind our recent SS22 Blowfish Malibu Photoshoot.
Another day, another photoshoot. The Blowfish Malibu marketing team ventured over to Oceanside, California to shoot our SS22 campaign. Even though we were expecting blue skies, these few days in November were filled with gloomy skies and particularly cold weather for SoCal.
Fun fact: our team had to go in afterwards and make sure the skies actually *appeared* blue for the final products. Overall, we’re so happy with how these shots came out and, at the end of the day, we’re always happy to spend some quality days with the team on set.
How excited are you to embrace Spring/Summer styles (and weather)?!
