Crocs has a history of teaming up with music stars.
Late last year the brand collaborated with Sza on a Y2K-themed collection, which featured denim print versions of Crocs’ Crush Clogs and its plush Cozzzy Sandals. The R&B singer also debuted 2000s-inspired Jibbitz shaped like flip phones, floppy disks and puka shells.
The year 2020 was a banner one for Crocs’ celebrity partnerships. The shoe brand joined forces with Bad Bunny and Justin Bieber to create customized pairs that sold out within minutes.
