The Kurt Geiger x Crocs were created as a limited-edition collection inspired by holiday parties and there are two chunky styles that are glossy black, chunky and adorned with colorful crystals. The use of the rainbow-colored crystals is a nod to the designer's signature use of color to signify joy, hope, inclusivity and kindness.
While one of the chunky all-black clogs features a faux fur trim and an eagle head charm, the second design features a thicker sole than the average pair of Crocs.
In 2020, Crocs became the eighth most-wanted item in the world and they align with the fact that people embraced more comfortable pieces during the pandemic. Still, Crocs is experiencing growing online sales, especially as a result of its fun collaborations.
