The Gushers x Crocs Classic Clog has been created by the footwear brand through a partnership with General Mills as a style that will offer avid fans of the lunchtime treat with a way to literally wear their fandom. The shoe style takes on the form of the Crocs Classic Clog that has been elevated with a variety of design accents including splashes of neon-colored hues across the midsole. The clogs maintain a gradient finish to further drive home the Gushers aesthetic and are accented by a series of Jibbitz that are inspired by the fruit snack candies themselves.
The Gushers x Crocs Classic Clog is priced at $80 and could become a must-have amongst nostalgic Millennials who grew up with the signature fruit snack candy.
