I ran into Griff from Combat Flipflops at Outdoor Retailer and he showed me a couple of cool new upcoming products. I really like the Chest Rig. It’s so good looking it will get you from the board room to the bed room. Look for it in Scorched earth, Claymore green, Agency black and Grey man. This sub $40 necktie is made from hemp and recycled plastic bottles which is apropos considering it is manaufactured in the Pacific Northwest. Handmade by Veterans, for wear by all.

{Issaquah, WA} – Combat Flip Flops, a veteran-owned small business creating economic, educational and life-saving opportunities for those living in conflict areas, has announced former Reebok Vice President of Advanced Concepts, Paul Litchfield, will be joining the company as an advisor.
“As a rapidly growing footwear and fashion company, Combat Flip Flops is recruiting leaders to drive the mission,” said co-founder and CEO, Matthew ‘Griff’ Griffin. “As a veteran of the footwear industry, leader of innovation, and navigator of market challenges, Paul brings decades of experience to the Combat Flip Flops team. As a member of our advisory board, Paul’s focus is to help us smoothly navigate the exponential growth in global markets.”
Paul Litchfield is one of the most influential product creation experts working in the athletic footwear, performance apparel, and sporting goods industry. He holds over 160 granted patents and patents applications pending, and has long been regarded as one of the leading innovators in the field.
Paul began his career at Reebok in 1985, where he held roles in product creation and product marketing while also founding the Advanced Concepts Team. He and his team were responsible for numerous production innovations over the years, including The Energy Return System; The PUMP; DMX Moving Air; Insta-Flate, ZIGTECH, Easytone, Realflex and Z-Pump Fusion. With the 2013 launch of CHECKLIGHT, a sports and activity impact indicator for the head, he and his team made significant strides in the field of wearable electronics and safety equipment.
“I am extremely proud to have the chance to work with Griff and the Combat Flip Flops Team. CFF not only makes an array of cool product, but also brings a unique passion and commitment to business by focusing on the social and economic betterment of those living in areas of conflict around the world,” said Litchfield.
“Back in the day, we would call in a Gunship for mission support,” said Griff. “Paul is our Gunship on this new mission. Through persistence, creativity, and respect, Paul will help Combat Flip Flops empower the mindful consumer to manufacture peace through trade. We couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity to work a proven leader in the industry.”
Combat Flip Flops is growing and they’re looking for veterans to join their movement. Creating peaceful, forward-thinking opportunities for people affected by conflict is no easy job, but it sure does have its rewards. Being a veteran-owned company, Combat Flip Flops’ strives to support veterans, the country, and those downrange. Taking a page from their Green Beret brothers, they’re instituting the Village Stability Operations (VSO) Program.
“As a country, we’ve spent the past 14 years fixing somebody else’s village—it’s time to get to work in ours,” said Combat Flip Flops founder and CEO, Matthew ‘Griff’ Griffin.
Demand has been growing fast, and Combat Flip Flops is now independently contracting veterans to spread stoke by starting mobile storefronts across the country where they can sell cool stuff made in dangerous places, like local events and festivals. The company is looking for driven, creative, self-motivated individuals who want to do some good while making a little dough. Who better than a veteran, right?
THE MISSION:
“The veterans coming back to the states now are the most able, solution-focused group of people our country has ever known,” said Griff. “We want them back home, focusing on their villages, and building a life while serving their country for years to come.”
“I own a CrossFit gym and am a veteran, so the Combat Flip Flops VSO program is a no-brainer for me. We have the displays and all of the flip flops and other gear up at all times in the gym and whenever we go to a local competition, we take the tent and we sell the gear. Let’s face it, you are going to the competitions anyway to support your athletes, might as well make a few bucks while you’re at it. We last set up at a competition in April 2015 just outside of Indianapolis and generated $1300 in sales over the weekend. We set up the tent so we could watch the comp the whole time, it was a win-win,” said Justin Springer, owner, Fort Wayne Strength and Conditioning/Guerrilla CrossFit.
