The Crocs x Squid Game Classic Clog has been announced as the footwear brand's latest collaboration that celebrates the impending release of the second season of the dystopian thriller survivalist series. The footwear style takes the form of the Classic Clog from Crocs, but sees it transformed with a color scheme that corresponds to the jumpsuits worn by the characters on the show. The clogs are paired with a macabre splatter of faux blood as a nod to the violence of the series, while an array of custom Squid Game-inspired Jibbitz are observed including the Red Light, Green Light doll, game guard masks, Dalgona candy and more.
The Crocs x Squid Game Classic Clog is priced at $70 and will be available for purchase this holiday season.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Collaborative Themed Footwear
- Collaborations between popular TV series and footwear brands can drive unique, themed product lines that resonate with fans.
- Pop Culture-inspired Accessories
- Custom Jibbitz inspired by iconic elements of a hit series like Squid Game enhance the personalizability of standard footwear.
- Macabre Fashion Elements
- Incorporating dark, violent themes into mainstream fashion items like footwear provides a novel, edgy aesthetic that appeals to niche markets.
Sectors Adopting This
- Footwear
- The footwear industry can leverage popular media collaborations to create exclusive, limited edition products that generate hype.
- Entertainment Merchandise
- Producing show-themed merchandise offers fans new ways to engage with their favorite franchises beyond traditional media consumption.
- Fashion Accessories
- Developing themed accessories for existing fashion items can transform basic products into desirable memorabilia for dedicated fans.
