Iconic rubber clogs brand Crocs has teamed up with lifestyle label Lazy Oaf to launch an exclusive footwear capsule called 'The Lazy Oaf x Crocs' collection.
The new ensemble sees Crocs embrace Lazy Oaf's penchant for bold, out-there designs to deliver a range of eye-catching sandals and playful Jibbitz charms. Headlining the capsule is the new Mega Crush clog, which features a rainbow colorway and flower-themed clip-on charms. Adding to the shoe's maximalist aesthetic, the clogs even feature a striking metallic midsole.
"Crocs have been a staple in many a Lazy Oaf campaign, and we think they’re the ultimate shoe for anyone craving that ‘Lazy’ lifestyle. We love the lo-fi aesthetic and unpretentiousness of Crocs," said Gemma Shiel, the Funder and Creative Director of Lazy Oath.
