In years past, Crocs was looked down upon by many sneakerheads and casuals. Thankfully, the brand has turned its image around through timely collaborations with just about every IP, pop culture icon, and company under the sun and by bringing on ex-Yeezy designers like Steven Smith and Dingyun Zhang. For Crocs’ latest anime collaboration, they’re teaming up with the iconic Dragon Ball Z franchise to bring Son Goku to the Classic Clog.
Though not confirmed, we’ll likely see other Dragon Ball Z characters and motifs brought to life on other Crocs releases. For now, we have a look at Goku’s Classic Clog, which translates his orange and blue outfit perfectly through the graphic pattern, redesigned sports mode strap, and included Jibbitz. On the toebox, we see various Jibbitz charms that nod to Goku and the Dragon Ball franchise, including a depiction of Goku going super saiyan, the kanji symbol on his clothes, the eternal dragon Shenron, and a Dragon Ball.
