Crocs and collaborations with boldface names and celebrities have been immensely popular over the years.
It first started in 2016 when designer Christopher Kane surprised guests at his London Fashion Week show by unveiling a Crocs collab featuring marbled designs embellished with rough mineral charms. Then Balenciaga creative director Demna took the Classic Clog to new heights — literally and figuratively — after sending platform Crocs with Jibbitz down the Paris Fashion Week runway in 2017. The comfort brand’s creditability in the fashion crowd skyrocketed after the Balenciaga co-sign. Since then, key partnerships from Justin Bieber and Bad Bunny to Jeff Staple and Salehe Bembury have proven that Crocs is not confined to just one specific demographic. Plus, it infiltrated street culture.
“Five years ago, a sneakerhead wouldn’t be caught dead walking downtown New York City in Crocs,” said Staple. “The incredible thing about is that they have forced their way in whether people like it or not. To me, it’s one of the great brand turnaround stories.”
Here’s a look at some of the best Crocs collabs so far.
