BEAMS and Crocs work in collaboration once again, with refreshing design aesthetics joining the summer-ready footwear silhouettes. The duo previously worked in conjunction with some fishing vests and buckled footwear to name a few. This time around, the inspiration behind the pack references militaristic aesthetics, nodding to outdoor themes.
This results in the Classic All-Terrain Clog model adorned with tactical hardware and functional design elements throughout. The pack is broken into two different groups -- includes OUTDOOR and MILITARY. The color palette follows the same theme, with olive green, gray, and black making up the footwear models. The OUTDOOR designs have a pocket that nods to fishing vests and parkas with a fabric cover and carabiner strap. The MILITARY selection has an oversized pouch over the forefoot.
