Salehe Bembury and Crocs are Back with a Juniper in Boba

Salehe Bembury has had an incredibly busy year. The prolific sneaker designer has started his own independent sneaker brand through his Spunge label. But he’s also kept his collab work at the forefront of the industry, continuing his work with New Balance on the 1000, designing Tyrese Haliburton’s debut signature Hali 1 at Puma, and taking on boots, sneakers, and his signature Pollex Clog at Crocs. Oh yeah, did we mention he published a book?

Bembury’s 2025 hot streak continues into the last month of the year with another Crocs collaboration on the Juniper sneaker, this time in a black and brown Boba colorway. Announced on Instagram with a Bembury-style big-head editorial shoot, the upper of the Juniper is all black, with grey around the ankle and hits of bright white at the bottom of the side panels. The bulbous, textured midsole that stretches up across the shoe is done in a dark gum brown for a nice winter mix of dark shades.

The Juniper has been one of Salehe’s most frequent Crocs collabs for 2025, with fewer Pollex Clogs coming out of the partnership than in years past. In addition to the funky-soled sneaker, Bembury has crafted a handful of colorways of the Cypress Duck Boot, which adds the thumbprint sole motif to a weatherproof boot, perfect for the changing seasons.

The Salehe Bembury x Crocs Juniper Boba will be released December 4, 2025 through Bembury's self-titled website. A wider release via Crocs and select retailers will take place shortly. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $140. For all the latest Crocs collab news, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
