The Kenny Scharf x Crocs Pollex Clog has been designed with Salehe Bembury as a limited-edition footwear style that plays with the surrealist aesthetic of Scharf's artwork. The footwear consists of the Pollex Clog covered in an all-over graphic that includes Scharf's Cosmic Caverns characters alongside dynamic squiggles. The shoe transforms the minimalist, monochromatic footwear design from Bembury into a striking work of art, while also keeping the heart of Crocs footwear front and center.
The Kenny Scharf x Crocs Pollex Clog is available now for $85, but is limited to 1,000 pairs for fans to try and get their hands on. The footwear is expected to be a hit amongst fans, but also newcomers to the artist.

Sectors Adopting This
