The Diplo X Crocs collection introduces an artful take on the Classic Clog and new Classic Crocs Sandal with custom Jibbitz charms. Fans of clogs will be delighted to collect paint-inspired graphics and mushroom charms, plus the footwear brand's first-ever collaboration on its two-strap silhouette.
This month, Diplo will be introducing fans to the Diplo X Crocs collection during a livestreamed performance on Mad Decent's Twitch channel. The event is set to share an immersive set that mimics the nature-inspired look of the collab. Fans will also have the chance to get one of the designs of their own, since 1,000 pairs of the Diplo X Crocs Classic Clogs and Diplo X Crocs Classic Sandals will be given away.
