Crocs is heading to outer space with its latest cinematic collaboration, thanks to “Star Wars.”
The FNAA-winning brand’s newest iteration of its Classic Clog shoe, which will be available in grade school boys’ sizing, focuses on Chewbacca, the furry brown Wookie that accompanied Han Solo on intergalactic missions in the sci-fi franchise.
The resulting $60 clogs, which will drop on Foot Locker on Sept. 22, feature dark brown soles, with their signature round-toed foam uppers cast a deep brown hue printed with a Wookie fur pattern.
Both the shoe’s upper front and adjustable heel straps are accented with light gray squares, as well, arranged in geometric lines in homage to Chewbacca’s silver bandolier — a constant accessory worn by the character throughout the “Star Wars” films.

The pair is finished with fluffy light brown lining for a cozy touch. In addition to the new themed clogs, Foot Locker’s site appeared to feature a coordinating pack of Jibbitz charms, as well; though no announcement has currently been made, the imagery of the shoes sees at least one of the removable rubber accents shaped like Chewbacca himself.
Crocs’ Chewbacca-themed “Star Wars” collaboration marks its latest co-branded launch of 2023. This year, the label has joined forces with a wide range of brands and celebrities to release co-branded shoes and capsule collections, including Monster Cereals, Palace, Aries and Taco Bell.
In other Crocs news, the brand also announced Lil Nas X as its newest global brand ambassador in June, complete with a campaign where the musician modeled its recent lineup of heeled and platform-soled clogs.
