No matter what you think of the controversial shoe, Crocs proved in 2021 that they are here to stay.
Even during a pandemic and global supply chain downturns, the clog maker stood out among its footwear competitors in 2021. Throughout the year, Crocs recorded exceptional financial quarters and even won the shoe of the year award for the Crocs Classic clog at the 2021 Footwear News Awards of Excellence.
Although the company has been around for almost 20 years, the clogs still divide consumers a bit. However, due to the brand’s various collaborations, something new and fresh is constantly being dropped. Here are the best Crocs collaborations of 2021.
