Crocs launch a playful new launch with the help of visual artist Sean Vergara as the duo launch a visual of a Crocs cleat. The two take the iconic Nike cleats that are worn by Arizona Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy Junior, dyeing them in a bright Cardinal Yellow color.
Vergara went out to search for a strap to create a similar pair, taking over 20 hours to construct. Murphy spoke about the shoe to ESPN, stating that “I posted them on my Instagram. They kinda blew up. I gotta get more colors though. That’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna get some more colors though because the yellow ones are kind of bright, so I don’t know if I can wear those on game day and not get fined.”
