Two major summer themes are coming together as Chinatown Market and The Grateful Dead join forces in the release of a tie-dye croc that you'll be sure to see around all summer.
Clog-like shoes are coming back in popularity this season, and the comfort and nostalgia of Crocs make for the perfect novelty shoe to add to one's collection. This particular item deviates from the standard one-toned look we're used to, offering features a rainbow of colors, and comes complete with the dancing bears pinned to the shoe -- a classic motif from the iconic American rock band.
The tie-dye crocs were revealed online via Instagram by Jeff Staples and do not yet have an official release date.
