Salehe Bembury and Crocs are partnering to release a 'Slime' version of the Pollex Slide. The sneaker, which was initially previewed in 2021, was created as an exclusive design for the American rapper Amine. The silhouette has since received a global release slated for June 1.
In line with its traditional style, the shoe encompasses a velcro heel strap fashioned from elastic constituents, further enhanced by the inclusion of metallic hinges. Incorporating a distinctive fingerprint groove design, the newly introduced clogs showcase notable attributes, including foam uppers and bottoms, accompanied by semi-translucent wedges meticulously positioned in between the toe section and heel. The silhouette will be released in adult and grade school sizing.
The Crocs Pollex Slide in 'Slime' will debut on June 1 at 9 a.m. PST.
