[Crocs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slawn-crocs-classic-clog) works in collaboration with The [Futura Laboratories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futura-laboratories-3) as its latest design project and the two highlight the work of the iconic graffiti artist and designer. As a result, the duo presents two special variations of the [Classic Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streetx-x-crocs-classic-clog). With this are a series of Jibbitz charms that follow the same design theme, adding a touch of custom details for fans to customize.

The collection features two designs, each one mirroring the artist's iconic airbrush work. The first one is done in a green and purple colorway palette. The second colorway boasts a white base foundation before it is detailed with a metallic silver graffiti pattern on top. Finally, the playful charms are designed by Futura himself,
