The silhouette is complete in a glow-in-the-dark finish. The watch to join boasts a modular design as the watch face can be snapped from the wrist and onto the rivet within seconds. This way, it is a timepiece that can be worn on the wrist or on a specific clog. Notably, the exclusive design is enhanced by the custom marbled ankle strap made with inspiration from G-SHOCK's durable and precise build. As a bundle, the unique Echo Wave clog and GA2100CROCS25-7 will be exclusively sold at select wholesale partners and online at Crocs starting May 27th.
