The Crocs Classic Clog is unmistakable and it is getting an update courtesy of American footwear designer Salehe Bembury, and it's being introduced as the Pollex Clog. The Salehe Bembury x Crocs introduces a fresh reimagining of the Crocs style that exists as an "exploration of form and function that balances heritage with the most innovative mold in the shoe business."
This dynamic silhouette merges three of Bembury’s signature fingerprints together, all the while maintaining breathability from holes on the upper portion. The naturalistic clog shoe can be worn two ways thanks to two adjustable and removable nylon heel straps. The Trail way integrates the straps for lifestyle and outdoor use, while the Free wear way without the straps provides even more freedom, flexibility and comfort.
