Crocs Collabs: The Ultimate Summer Shoes' Best Remixes

With summer quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to start scoping out footwear for the season. Between comfort, durability, and fashion (of course), we have some high expectations for summer shoes. While most footwear will not check all of these boxes, there is one particular brand that passes with flying colors. You won’t find them on SNKRS or see your favorite players wear them on the hardwood, but you will be able to customize them with Jibbitz; you know, the small, peg-shaped charms that can be inserted into the small holes on the Crocs’ upper to provide some serious self-expression. That’s right, everyone; Crocs are the ultimate summer shoe and bring the swagger and functionality you will need as the weather warms up.

The biggest draw to the clog might be the styles borne by Crocs and their key collaborators. Over the last few years, star musicians, high-fashion houses, favorite streetwear brands, and many in between have put their spin on Crocs clogs. These collaborators take full advantage of the features natural to the clog silhouette, especially through custom Jibbitz. Crocs are easily some of the most functional summer shoes, and many Crocs collaboration designs make them some of the most fun and original pieces of footwear on StockX, too.

We curated our favorite collaborations to date, each one with its own unique touches. Take a look through the Crocs collaborations below, read up on them, and secure your favorites on StockX before summer kicks off!

Chinatown Market

Crocs’ tagline is “Come As You Are,” and the fun, off-the-wall streetwear and lifestyle brand Chinatown Market did just that when creating their first clogs with Crocs. One of the best parts of summer is the simple pleasure of standing in fresh grass with your bare feet, and with these Crocs, Chinatown Market offers a similar feeling all-year-round. Both the inside and the outside of the shoe are covered in turf that will bring you back to the indoor soccer days. These Crocs aren’t just cozy but will add pizzazz to any summer fit. Chinatown Market’s second collab with Crocs also packs some serious summer vibes with its orange base and tie-dye designs on the upper, heel, and strap. As a bonus, Chinatown Market was sure to include a menagerie of Jibbitz based on their SMILEY logo that’ll allow you to express yourself all summer long.

Pleasures

Crocs don’t only shine light on big-name collaborators and proved it by linking with California streetwear upstart Pleasures. Heavily influenced by punk and counterculture, Pleasures has made a name for themselves over the past couple of years, and this certainly showed when their Skeleton Classic Clogs sold out almost instantly. Then they went on to fetch prices as high as $500 on StockX before a restock brought them down to a more affordable resale price. If you’re in the market for a pair of Crocs but still want to be a little “punk,” these have your name written all over them.

Left Hand LA

Crocs’ collaboration with up-and-coming designer Julie Kucharski, better known as Left Hand LA, exemplifies Crocs’ willingness to shine light on hard-working creatives, no matter the size of the operation. Left Hand LA is known for their 1-of-1 pieces, constructed from thrift store finds and emblazoned with patches and design details added by hand. Her work has been seen on a few celebrities, most notably Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Swae Lee. Left Hand LA stayed totally on-brand with their glitterbombed Classic Clog that came with an array of brightly-colored Jibbitz to customize it to your liking.

Alife

In the summer of 2018, tenured NYC street brand Alife blended the Crocs Dimitri Clogs and a pair of tube socks to create the Crocs Alife Sport. The white tube socks feature blue and red stripes at the top, while the attached white Crocs include black Alife branding along the midsole and strap. If you can’t get into a blend of clogs and socks, Alife also offers the sockless Crocs Alife Art. However, just because there aren’t attached socks does not mean this is more of a “typical pair of Crocs.” The grey Art’s defining feature is its seven XL Jibbitz that harken to essential NYC sights. These things are tall. The Alife Art Crocs are sure to give some artistic flair to any of your summer fits. If you love the Art’s grey but aren’t big into Jibbitz, Crocs x Alife Classic is right up your alley, featuring added Alife branding on the upper without the charms. The Classic offers the perfect summer flex, but is just a bit more subtle.

Murakami

While many had speculated about a collaboration with well-loved multidisciplinary artist Murakami, it became a hypebeast’s wildest dream-come-true at last fall’s ComplexCon when a pair finally and initially released exclusively at the event, and then on the ComplexCon webstore a few days later. Murakami is a fitting collaborator for Crocs: not only does his vibrant and colorful style translate well into an all-over print for the clog, his Mr. Dob character translates into a perfect little Jibbitz that compliments each clog.

Post Malone

If you’re still not convinced that Crocs are in, let’s all remember that one of today’s biggest rappers/singers/internet personalities has collaborated with Crocs on a few occasions. That’s right, the one and only Post Malone has four incredibly unique creations with the clog-maker. The Crocs x Post Malone partnership began in late 2018 with the release of their first Dimitri Clog, which featured an all-over design of his signature demon baby. Later that year Posty fans were able to get their hands on clog #2, which were bright yellow and included a gritty barbed wire design across the upper, before 2018’s end. Crocs and Post kicked off the following summer by releasing another Dimitri for Australia only in 2019, with this one covered in a green, swampy design. All three of these Crocs boast Jibbitz with designs taken from and inspired by Malone’s sophomore album Beerbongs & Bentleys. Posty’s fourth and latest collaboration headed in a different direction. The rapper put his spin on the Duet Max Clog, and includes fasteners in the heel and strap, mini carabiner clips on each shoe, and an extra-thick sole with monstrous treads, making these bad boys ready to go off-road. While his Duet Max Clog comes Jibbitz-less, its spooky black and blue camo pattern makes up for that.

Luke Combs

Last summer, CMA Fest attendees in Nashville scored the opportunity to purchase the first collaboration between Luke Combs and Crocs, which features a slick woodgrain-pattern finish and Jibbitz commemorating that star’s country aesthetic. His follow-up clog took a much more creative route. The Realtree camo pattern makes it fun to rock, but what brings it to the next level is its new roundup of Jibbitz, including one that is a functional bottle opener. These Crocs are perfect for hunters, as well as anyone who likes to crack a few cold ones. And even if country music isn’t your cup of sweet tea, there is no denying that the bottle opener Jibbitz makes these Crocs one of the most functional pairs.

Christopher Kane

Crocs’ first official collaboration with Scottish womenswear designer Christopher Kane received quite a bit of attention and controversy when they were shown on the runway back in 2017. This was Crocs’ first big foray into the fashion world, and while some liked Kane’s attempt to innovate, others were not ready to hop on the Crocs train just yet. The looks consisted of two different themes, all tied together with specially-crafted crystal Jibbitz. The first part of the collab was a Classic Clog in a marble-like pattern in four different colorways. The final two clogs in the collection were the more muted colors of brown and dark green, accented by the same aforementioned Jibbitz.

Barneys

Continuing their run in the high fashion and luxury space, Crocs created three clogs with Barneys. Two of the clogs relied heavily on a punk aesthetic, one being a denim colorway with spikes, studs, and chains, and the other being a blacked out “goth” colorway that featured safety pins, studs, and exaggerated spikes. Barneys was a bit late to the party per usual, with some saying the goth colorway was too reminiscent of indie operation Goth Des Garcons’ custom take on the clog. They closed out this collection with a white colorway and a loud pink colorway for the sunnier friend in the punk group.

PEEPS

Crocs has not only proven their worth through many fashion collaborations, the brand has also shown their ability to work outside of the fashion sphere and still create something cool and memorable, as they did with their recent collaboration with everyone’s favorite holiday marshmallow: PEEPS. PEEPS and Crocs went with an Easter theme since assigning familiar pastel colors to their collaborative clogs. PEEPS’ signature yellow appears on one clog, while timely baby blue and light pink appear on the other two in the collection. And yes, before you even need to ask, these are obviously tied together with delectable looking PEEPS Jibbitz in matching colors.

Madewell

One of Crocs’ most recent collabs was with the denim and clothing brand Madewell, and what the two cooked up is impressive. Crocs’ tie-dye Classic Clog was already a fan favorite, then Madewell came along with an Earthy-colored remix of it, which is already in contention for Crocs collab of 2020. The soothing clay, lavender, burnt yellow, and white colorway spells summer vibes perfectly with its natural look. Madewell’s Crocs don’t have the Jibbitz or built-in-socks that some other Crocs collabs have boasted, but this beautiful colorway is proof that the clog can do just as much with less.
