Crocs continues to add more designs to join its roster of Cars products, celebrating the cult animated film with a spotlight on Tow Mater this time around. Lightning McQueen's best friend gets his own shoe with a new brown colorway palette of the Classic Clog.
It is adorned with other playful accents that are reminiscent of the character including his big boxy eyes and buck teeth to name a few. It also has a 3D exposed engine that rests along the toe box. His iconic hook appears at the back of the clog's secure strap. In terms of the technical details, it rests on top of a comfortable footbed made from foam materials with ventilation holes for more Jibbitz.
