Crocs have launched the new ‘Echo Clog,’ a dynamic slip-on shoe that features grooves along the sole and edges of the shoe, resembling an exoskeleton. The shoes boast a Croslite™ molded casing and a LiteRide™ drop-in footbed made with breathable foam. Perforations throughout the shoe help prevent sweat build-up, while a nylon backstrap aligns with Crocs’ previous releases. When it comes to customization, consumers can enjoy filling 14 Jibbitz holes on these shoes with whatever they please as a part of Crocs’ mission to create “endless opportunities for self-expression.”
The ‘Echo Clog’ pack arrives in two unique colorways: a minimalistic ‘Stucco’ and a warmer-toned ‘Desert Grass.’ Crocs has confirmed that more colorways are on the way for this silhouette.
