Jeff Staple and Crocs Unveils a Sidewalk Luxe Classic Clog

— April 11, 2022 — Lifestyle
Jeff Staple works in collaboration with Crocs on a new design of the Sidewalk Luxe Classic Clog in time for the warmer seasons upon us. He turns his attention to the inspiration of today's concrete jungles with a highlight on New York. The shoes are based on a gray concrete visual effect before it is detailed with custom Jibbitz charms at the forefoot.

The most notable element is the large pigeon foot on both shoes - this is followed by charms of a mouse, a cockroach, chewing gum, sewer alligator, Staple-branded noodles, as well as a packet of faux matches as the selection to adorn the shoes. Rounding out the sandals is the pigeon motif on the bolt emblem found at the heel.
