Idiocracy (2006)

Trivia: The filmmakers had a fairly small budget. So to save money in costuming, they bought awful, cheap shoes from a new footwear company. Because the shoes were so hideous and impractical, the filmmakers thought that the shoes would be perfect for the idiots of the future, and assumed that the company would go bankrupt soon after. The company was Crocs, and to everyone on the crew's surprise and disappointment, their shoes actually ended up becoming extremely popular... just like in the movie.
