Designed with the theme of self-expression in mind, the ‘Crush’ collection reprises a variety of signature silhouettes. Adopting the aesthetics of [Y2K](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-tpain) style, each of the footwear offerings is bold and expressive in its own way. In addition, the sandal features Jibbitz compatible upper straps, allowing wearers to customize their Crocs with their favorite charms. Currently, the new 'Classic Crush Sandal,’ ‘Classic Crush Clog’ and the ‘Classic Crush Rain Boot’ are offered in the release.
