Crocs is again joining forces with streetwear brand JEFF STAPLE to launch the second iteration of the STAPLE X Crocs collaboration that pays home to the pigeon, the "legendary" messenger bird. The new co-branded Crocs' iconic All-Terrain Clog incorporates the unique Jibbitz charms. These charms are inspired by the trinkets discovered by New York's most skilled treasure hunter -- the Homing Pigeon. In addition, the new shoe also pays homage to the bird with a "mesh netting pocket on the vamp and a rugged outsole designed to withstand long treks through the urban jungle."
To kick off the launch, Crocs is partnering with JEFF STAPLE and his team to create a unique Homing Pigeon NFT, launching within the STAPLEVERSE on September 10 at 11 am ET. 123 editions of the NFT will be exclusive to STAPLEVERSE members, and 123 editions will be available to non-members.
