The Crocs Ripple Clog Neon Ocean introduces a futuristic take on the brand’s classic slip-on silhouette with a sculpted foam upper and exaggerated wavy midsole. Designed by footwear veteran Steven Smith, the model features a white molded shell paired with bright blue foam across the footbed, sidewalls, and outsole. Ventilation cutouts maintain breathability while the sculptural ripple-shaped sole creates a bold visual profile and added cushioning for everyday wear.
The clog incorporates Crocs’ Free Feel construction and Mellow foam cushioning to improve comfort and flexibility compared to earlier designs. A TPU structure in the midfoot provides additional torsional support while retaining the lightweight feel associated with Crocs footwear. The model releases globally on March 5, 2026 in unisex sizing and carries a retail price of $90 USD.
