Crocs Launches New Collection Inspired by Cult Classic, 'Clueless'
Niko Pajkovic — February 2, 2022 — Fashion
Iconic footwear brand Crocs has once again tapped into '90s pop culture to develop a new collection inspired by the cult film 'Clueless.' According to the company, the new collection will be available exclusively on Zappos, a popular online clothing retailer.
The capsule consists of four pairs of Crocs, each inspired by a specific character from the film. These include Tai, Cher, Dionne, and Amber. The designs themselves mirror the outfits worn by each of these characters. For example, the Cher Croc is dressed with the same yellow plaid pattern that dons the character's iconic tweed suit. Meanwhile, the Amber Croc arrives in its character's signature leopard print.
"This launch was the ideal opportunity to align on our core brand values of innovation and self-expression in a fun and nostalgic way, all while providing a consumer-first experience, which is what both of our brands are all about," said Crocs senior vice president and general manager for the Americas Emma Minto.
