The Crocs X Monsters, Inc. Collection Merges Comfort with Pixar Magic
Georgia Wray Norsten — February 19, 2025 — Marketing
The Crocs x Monsters, Inc. collection has taken the footwear world by storm, blending playful nostalgia with Crocs' signature comfort. Officially launched yesterday, the star of the collection -- the 'Sulley Classic Cozzzy Sandal' -- sold out in nearly all sizes within just two hours and completely cleared shelves in 12 hours, setting a record for Crocs' most successful collaboration launch.
Inspired by the lovable scarers of Monsters, Inc., the collection drew over half a million visits to crocs.com -- more than any previous drop -- proving the enduring magic of Pixar and Crocs' unmatched ability to connect with fans. While the Sulley Cozzzy Sandals are officially gone, there’s still time to grab other fan-favorite pieces like the 'Mike Classic Clogs,' complete with his iconic single eye and jagged teeth, and themed 'Jibbitz™' charms for a custom touch.
