The Sandal Maker Taps Popular Golf Content Personality to Grow Awareness, Flip Flop Presence in Resilient Green Grass Category
Hari Mari, the premium footwear company known for infusing color and comfort into its flip flop and sandal lines, announced it’s teaming up with popular golfer and content creator Nick Stubbe to help build awareness for the fast-growing brand within the ever-popular ‘green grass’ golf space.
“I love stepping out of my spikes and into my Hari Mari’s after playing a round. There’s this immediate ‘ahhhh’ feeling you get, which I love,” said Stubbe. “There was a time not long ago when strict dress codes prevented golfers from doing that, but comfort’s king now and you can slip into a great pair of Hari Mari’s flip flops after a round with the boys and still look nice. That’s something I’m excited to share and push in working with Hari Mari. I can kick back after a round with the best of them, and now I get to do so in the best flip flops on the market!”
Stubbe, better known by his golf course moniker ‘Fat Perez’, has gained a loyal following with throngs of golf enthusiasts across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, combining his accessible personality and entertaining content, with his genuine skill on the course.
“Nick is an incredible golfer with an even more incredible personality, and he resonates and connects with the ‘every man’ golfer in a way that so few are able to do,” said Hari Mari founder, Jeremy Stewart. “We think he’s leading a powerful and unique charge in a space that’s growing at meteoric levels. He’s real, unvarnished, and hilarious. He’s a genuine guy, and we’re excited for Hari Mari and Fat Perez to do some special things together in the coming months to help elevate our brand and products within the golf community.”
Hari Mari and Stubbe, made the announcement today with the start of the PGA Buying Summit in Frisco, Texas, where Hari Mari is launching and showing its spring/summer 2025 lines. The year-long Hari Mari + Fat Perez partnership will focus on social media engagement, as well as to-be-announced golf activations and events.
