No matter how you feel about the controversial shoe, Crocs proved in 2023 that they are here to stay.
After the brand hit an intense renaissiance in 2020 — notably earning the Classic Clog the Shoe of the Year award at the 2021 FNAA’s — it’s raised its slate of collaborators, ranging from established fashion brands to celebrities. Popular launches have included Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Diplo, 7-Eleven, MCM and Kurt Geiger, among numerous others. Over the past year, they have not slowed down on collabs and keep bringing fresh styles to customers.
Though the company has been around for over 20 years, the clogs are still a bit divisive among consumers. However, due to the brand’s various collaborations, something new is constantly being dropped. Here are the best Crocs collabs from 2023.

Crocs x MSCHF
After their viral Big Red Boot, MSCHF teamed up with Crocs to create another unconventional footwear style. The boots were first revealed during Rick Owens’ menswear spring 2024 show at Paris Fashion Week, when musician Tommy Cash was spotted in the front row in the style.
Hello Kitty x Crocs
Covered in a pink and purple-hued print of hearts and rainbows, as well as Kitty and her cartoon friends Badtz-Maru and My Melody, the Hello Kitty x Crocs collab brought a new take on the classic clog. Jibbitz charms shaped like Kitty and her friends Cinnamoroll, Chococat, LittleTwinStars and Pompompurin were available with this collection.
Minecraft x Crocs
Crocs teamed up with Minecraft, proving they can even make a video game-themed shoe. The collection featured four clogs and one slide styles featuring earthy tones and creatures seen in the game.
Crocs x Salehe Bembury
Salehe Bembury and Crocs gave their popular textured shoes a true-blue revamp with the Pollex slide. The designer has teamed up with Crocs in the past, but brought the slide to the collection just in time for the summer with these sandals.
Shrek x Crocs
Perfect for the swamp, Crocs teamed up with “Shrek” for an eerily realistic iteration on their popular clog style. The shoe takes on the ogre’s skin tone, blemishes and all, and see Shrek’s nose and ears transformed into Jibbitz.
Barbie x Crocs
Partnering up with the movie of the summer, Crocs and Barbie created a line complete with three shoe styles. The bright pink clogs and sandals paired with eight Jibbitz inspired by the film and Barbie’s adventures, including a shiny hot pink disco ball, cowboy hat and the Barbie logo in bold lettering.
