It’s funny to think that the shoes that once made us uncomfortable with their style but comfortable on foot are still clogging around the streets to this day. From an outsider’s perspective, Crocs jumped right into the competitive footwear industry. On account of being the world’s ugliest shoe, Crocs slowly started to make their mark when they toyed with the idea of new colorways, designs, and Jibbitz making the shoes a bit less bizarre and a tad more flavorful.Â
Two decades later, Crocs has continued to prove that they are here for the long haul. Although they will always be known as the “what are those” shoes, it will place no bearing on the brand’s bandwidth. To date, Crocs has extended its reach by working directly with big-name brands and artists to produce limited-edition clogs. Have you seen the recent announcement of the Jeff Staple X Crocs dropping on April 14th, 2022?Â
If truth be told, these not so stylish clogs have substantially impacted the fashion industry, especially once comfort was put at the forefront of fashion leaders’ minds. Balenciaga, one of the world’s prominent fashion brands, bought into Crocs back in 2018, making waves at Paris Fashion Week.
As a result of this odd match, people’s eyes opened to the idea and value of Crocs. From there on out, what people knew the brand originally forâwhich was its inability to focus on styleâcompletely shifted. Notable brands like Lucky Charms, Hidden Valley Ranch, and Space Jam, to name a few, started to work alongside Crocs to put their own unique twist on the shoe. Below are some of the coolest Croc collabs of all time from the years since the brand’s inception.
Crocs were born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, by Lyndon “Duke” Hanson and George Boedecker Jr. Initially, the foam-based shoe was designed as a comfort-driven boating shoe. Sticking to the brand’s core, bringing the shoe back to its roots and right to the Sunshine State of Florida was practical. Hanson and Boedecker Jr. debuted the shoe at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show with only 200 pairs on deck. By the end of the event, they were sold out.Â
Based on the promising response, the Crocs team took it viral as the “look” of the shoe did not affect the value of comfort. What was designed as a single-use boat shoe has now expanded to over 120 variations sold worldwide, a testament to the brand’s mission of comfort over style.
Devoted fans of the Crocs brand took it to the extreme when they created a fan-made Crocs Day. October 23rd, most popularly known as Croctober, is a fancied period where Crocs usually announces brand collaborations.Â
The Crocs Collabs, a Timeline (from newest to oldest)
The value placed on Crocsâ collaborations with brands goes without saying. As the brand progresses into new spaces, we take a look back at the pairs that were pivotal in its growth starting with the newest and going fifteen pairs back to some of the oldest. Without further ado, a timeline of some of the coolest Croc collabs of all time.

Never say there isn’t a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow because if you were able to get your hands on a pair of these, I’d have to say you legitimately struck gold. With luck on your side, Lucky Charms was able to work with Crocs to make a flavorful collaboration âMagically Delicious.â Unfortunately, at this moment, there are no more retail-priced pairs available and can only be purchased on resell sites like Goat or StockX. Â

Warning: these are not your ordinary pair of crocs. Anyways, the reality is that no one wants to be known as typical these days, so if anything it gives these epic pairs a leg up amongst the rest. Deployed off the idea of making crocs function in a new way, Pizzaslime designed a crossbody bag out of one croc (not a pair).
