The SpongeBob SquarePants x Crocs Classic Clog Squidward is an upcoming footwear style created in partnership between the brands to help get fans ready for the release of the upcoming movie.
The clogs are characterized by their deep green color that's inspired by the namesake Squidward character and features a 3D model of his face in the upper. This gives the shoe style a decidedly anthropomorphic appearance, but also an unimpressed one as a nod to Squidward's personality.
The SpongeBob SquarePants x Crocs Classic Clog Squidward will be available for purchase starting December 11 for fans to pick up ahead of the release of the movie. The SpongeBob SquarePants: Search for SquarePants movie will hit theaters this holiday season on December 19, 2025.
