Levi’s and Crocs’ new three-piece footwear collaboration arrived in stores Tuesday, per a release by Levi’s.
The Levi’s x Crocs collection features two denim-covered versions of Crocs’ All-Terrain Clog, one classic Crocs shoe printed in a tie-dye pattern, plus two new sets of Jibbitz to go along with each style.
For its two denim versions, a Crocs Croslite foam shoe is wrapped in a denim upper decorated with Japanese-style sashiko stitching, a traditional style of embroidery often used to repair and reinforce denim. The sashiko All-Terrain comes in dark navy with a navy outsole and light gray-blue with a bone outsole, and both pairs feature a Levi’s Red Tab pull on the right shoe, Levi’s button shanks on the heel strap, and a Japanese Two-Horse Levi’s logo on the interior footbed.
The denim styles are offered with three new metal Jibbitz charms designed for the launch, including an enameled koi fish, a turquoise-colored stone and a silver-toned feather.
Its third style is a tie-dye Classic Clog that features a Croslite foam shoe with a print inspired by Japanese shibori techniques. Additionally, the shoe offers a red sole, Levi's button shank hardware and eight custom Jibbitz charms inspired by “archival Levi’s graphics,” per the release.
“We were thrilled to work alongside the forward-thinking Crocs team on bringing together our two iconic brands for this innovative capsule collection,” Kenny Mitchell, Levi Strauss & Co.’s chief marketing officer, said in the release.
The shoes are available through select Levi’s stores, the brand’s app and its e-commerce site. On Thursday, the collection will also be available through the Crocs e-commerce site and select wholesale distributors. Prices range from $75 for the Classic Clog to $85 for the denim All-Terrain, and both versions are available in men’s and women’s sizing.
Levi’s has been collaborating with a slew of high-profile brands this year, including Nigo, JJJJound and Undercover. The company is also working with Denim Tears for a third time on a collection that pays homage to the Black biker community.
In July, the company reported a Q2 net revenue drop of 9% year over year, with DTC net revenues up 13% and wholesale down 22%.
Meanwhile, Crocs has also been on a collaborative tear, with co-designs from dozens of collaborators, including 10 Corso Como, Beams, MSCHF, Taco Bell, 7-Eleven and Jimmy Kimmel.
Crocs, Inc. reported revenue of $1.07 billion, up 11.2% compared to 2022, with its Crocs boasting a revenue increase of 13.8% to $833 million and DTC comparable sales up by 19.5%. The HeyDude brand saw a revenue boost of 3% to $239.4 million with an almost 30% DTC revenue boost. Company-wide DTC revenue was up 26%, but wholesale increased just 0.2%.
