Crocs, Hidden Valley and streetwear brand The Hundreds teamed up to announce a collaboration during the Ranch With What? portion of Family Style To Go on the NTWRK app. The two-day virtual festival event was created to support local restaurants and the off-white-colored Crocs were designed to look as if they've been covered in Hidden Valley Ranch dressing.
Like the way dressing adds interest to salads, there are Jibbitz charms that can be added to customize the style of the shoes. These charms come in the shape of pizzas, veggies, fries, burgers and nuggets, suggesting just a handful of ways that the dressing can be enjoyed.
A limited number of the Hidden Valley Ranch x Crocs will be made available on the NTWRK app before they are available online later this year.
