Crocs has partnered with the NBA on a new basketball-themed addition to its Echo collection: the NBA Echo Slide.
The Echo collection is a selection of Crocs shoes designed for the consumer who wants to be comfortable without having to compromise their individual style. With several available styles inspired by streetwear silhouettes, the Crocs Echo collection offers a variety of sporty and structured sculpted shoes.
The $69.99 NBA Echo Slide is a fully molded sandal that puts the organization’s stylistic integrity on display. The shoe features Croslite construction and a LiteRide drop-in footbed, designed to keep the wearer comfortable while wearing the slide for a long period of time. The NBA Echo Slides are additionally crafted with ventilation ports to add breathability and help shed water.
The shoes, dyed in a shade of brown chosen to resemble a leather basketball and adorned with the NBA’s logo in black across the slide’s front, can be customized with basketball and other sports-themed Jibbitz.
Similar to the collaborative pair of NBA Echo Slides, Crocs has a diverse history of brand partnerships that have resulted in a unique collection of foam-based shoes in a variety of colors, patterns and textures.
Earlier this year, Crocs launched a reimagined version of its classic clog as a collaborative release with the popular chain restaurant Margaritaville. The new Margaritaville Beach Classic Clog featured a sand-printed upper surrounded by a shoreline-printed sole. The footbed and outsole were colored in bright turquoise and the shoe was adorned with the Margaritaville logo along the inside of the heel strap.
The Crocs NBA Echo Slides are available to purchase on Crocs.com and select retail stores.
