Winnie the Pooh works in collaboration with Crocs on the 'Eeyore Classic Clog,' designed for the Spring 2025 season. Disney and Crocs join forces for a nostalgic look with inspiration from iconic Winnie the Pooh characters as the Classic Clog silhouette draws influence from the melancholic Eeyore for the new versions.
The beloved donkey makes its way to the shoe with a nod to the adaptation of the gloomy resident of Hundred Acre Woods. The donkey's sad face is seen printed at the toe-box along with a 3D adaptation of the hair and fuzzy ears at the top of the shoe. More details include the bit of hair that is on the strap, which is meant to resemble his tail.
