Crocs have been somewhat of a hot item lately. Having undergone a transformation from clogs you’d only see on your 7-year-old cousin to the must-have item of the year if you want to up your street cred. Celebrities and fashion-goers alike are finding new ways to use the foam-based chucks as the perfect medium for creative self-expression through Jibbitz™ charms, personalising each pair to their aesthetic.
With that, it was only a matter of time before Crocs announced its first-ever official collaboration. Joining forces with DJ and producer Diplo, the Diplo X Crocs partnership invites the Croc Nation to take a walk on the weird side with a special, first-of-its-kind two-style release featuring unique, multi-tone takes on the Classic Clog and new Classic Crocs Sandal with custom Jibbitz™ charms.
Featuring a swirled pink, blue and yellow paint-inspired graphic loaded with light-up, three-dimensional out-of-this-world mushroom Jibbitz™ charms, the collaboration also includes the Diplo X Crocs Classic Sandal, a swirled yellow, orange and blue paint-inspired graphic, the brand’s first-ever collaboration on its new two-strap silhouette. The style comes pre-decked out with an assortment of eight unique glow-in-the-dark Jibbitz™ charms to make it pop.
“I wear my Crocs literally everywhere so I’m stoked to have some with my name on them and that others can get them too,” said the Grammy Award®-winning artist. “Crocs helped me bring my adventures to life with these designs and the 3D, light up and glow-in-the-dark mushroom Jibbitz charms are cooler than I could’ve imagined. Now fans can take a walk with me in either the Classic Clog or Crocs Classic Sandal.”
Diplo will introduce fans to the Diplo X Crocs collection during a performance streamed on Mad Decent’s Twitch channel on June 3rd with a set designed to mimic the nature-inspired look and feel of the collaboration, and a giveaway of 1,000 pairs of Diplo X Crocs Classic Clog and Diplo X Crocs Classic Sandal to fans that tune in.
he limited-edition collaboration will be sold exclusively from June 8th on the Crocs website.
