QSR-Branded Slides

The Taco Bell x Crocs Collection is Exactly What You Need for Summer

— June 25, 2023 — Fashion
Both Crocs and Taco Bell have loyal fan followings so it only makes sense that the two brands would team up for the ultimate Taco Bell x Crocs collaboration.

Summer's must-have shoe now appears to be a simple set of slides that boast and ombre-like fade from purple to black and a graphic of Taco Bell's signature bell logo. To top it all off, "Live" and "Más" are imprinted separately in white within the ultra-comfy footbed of each shoe. As Heidi Cooley, Chief Marketing Officer of Crocs, explains, "This collaboration delivers on what both of our brands do best... We know it doesn’t get much better than kicking back in comfort with a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, so pairing our Mellow Slide with Taco Bell is the perfect combo!"

To get your hands on the Taco Bell x Crocs Mellow Slides drop, head over to the Crocs website on June 28th.
