Mumbai: Crocs, a global leader in innovative and casual footwear, is set to launch an exciting, colourful and exclusive collaboration with the Bira91 merch store on 17 June 2023.
Marking the brand’s second collaboration in India, this playful association reinforces Crocs’ practice of joining hands with distinctive brands and individuals to celebrate creativity and self-expression. The partnership feeds into the ethos of both brands by inspiring creators to let their imagination run free. Designed for urban Indians, the limited-edition Bira91XCrocs classic unisex clog embraces Crocs’ brand ethos of ‘Come As You Are’ as the partnership brings together India’s top creative minds to celebrate the spirit of creativity.
Adorned with lively, colourful outlines of Bira91’s iconic monkey mascot in its signature colours and set off against a black undertone, the Bira91XCrocs classic unisex clog is inspired by India’s youthful energy and fun-loving spirit in mind. Adding elements of personalisation to the clog design, Jibbitz charms are crafted based upon Bira 91’s unique symbols, including its widely recognised monkey mascot, its iconic ‘91’ icon representing India’s country code and other Bira91 merch store elements. Each pair of classic clogs will be pre-fitted with six Jibbitz charms.
Additionally, as part of the launch, Crocs has joined forces with India’s top creative minds for an exciting teaser video. Celebrating the free spirit of the creator community, the video features popular musician, MadStarBose, whose multi-genre hip-hop and bass beats form the background score. Adding to the creative canvas are artist Nori Norbhu’s lively illustrations. Also tapping into the rhythm is dancer and choreographer Divya Easwaran, who is joined by popular Indian Hip hop dancer Ben’s steps. The artists featured were chosen by Crocs for their individual styles and unique contribution to India’s cultural and creative scene.
Crocs India & SEA vice president & general manager Sumit Dhingra talking about the India-exclusive collaboration, said, “At Crocs, every collaboration encourages a spirit of individuality and authenticity. With our second collaboration in India, we wish to contribute to India’s creative community with a unique design based upon India’s unique and playful personality by working with notable culture creators. The Bira91XCrocs collaboration embodies Bira91’s vibrancy and reflects Crocs’ commitment to self-expression”.
