Crocs, Inc. and visionary industrial designer Salehe Bembury announce a two-year partnership. As part of the agreement, Bembury will join the brand as Creative Director of the Crocs x Pollex Pod collection. In this role, he'll work alongside the team to evolve his Crocs signature Pollex design and introduce new silhouettes and colorways within the collection.

The pair first collaborated to introduce the Pollex Clog in 2021. Crocs broke the mold of its iconic Classic Clog for the highly anticipated release, creating a new silhouette which resulted in one of the fastest global sell-throughs for a Crocs collaboration. Following the first launch's incredible success, Crocs and Bembury released seven new colorways of the Pollex Clog in 2022, each selling out within the first few hours.

As a renowned designer who approaches products through a consumer-first lens, Bembury shares the same brand values as Crocs, marrying innovation and utility to bring to life modern design languages that resonate with new audiences. Much like many of Crocs' most notable collaborations, the brand's relationship with Bembury began authentically as an internet conversation-turned-real-life-partnership story. When Crocs reached out to Bembury via Instagram direct message offering to send him shoes, he responded by asking if the brand might consider a collaboration.

Crocs was inspired by Bembury's interest in changing the form of the Classic Clog, and as they say, the rest is history. The first release of new silhouettes within the Pollex Pod collection will be announced later this spring. Designs will take inspiration from the original Pollex clog motif as the pair continue to explore how Bembury's signature fingerprint comes to life in 3D form.
