ROA x Crocs? Gorp Clog Boyz, Rise Up
ROA x Crocs? Check on your local outdoor boyz, as the two minds will join forces for a collaboration that looks quite gorp-y.
Early looks at the ROA and Crocs' collab arrived courtesy of Luca Benini, Slam Jam founder and 1017 ALYX 9SM co-founder. In Benini's previews, we caught glimpses of ROA's spin on Crocs' Atlas shoe, which feels both laxed and extra outdoorsy at the hands of the hiking brand.
ROA's collaborative Atlas clog arrives in an olive green colorway, with the natural shade dressing the distinctly molded upper (yes, complete with those ventilation holes people know and love all too well).
Given ROA's knack for stylish hiking wears, including its own trail-ready footwear, it's not surprising to see the brand take on Crocs' all-terrain silhouette. ROA's pairs preserve much of the Atlas' technical build, including its rubber MTN outsole packed with tread and the nylon cross-straps (now marked with ROA's signature of approval, by the way).
ROA x Crocs also offers a Mellow clog as part of their collaborative offering, with the foam shoe rendered in black and decorated with a nature-esque design.
ROA x Crocs' Atlas and Mellow collabs are expected to arrive on October 20 on ROA and Crocs' websites. We assume they'll also be up for grabs at select retailers, like, say, Slam Jam (given their founder supplied a generous preview).
ROA is undoubtedly great hiking brand, and its status has only continued to soar with folks eyeing the gorpcore trend. In addition to its famed hiking boots and style-meets-outoors apparel, the label has chalked up impressive team-ups with buzzy names like JJJJound, Aries, and A-COLD-WALL*.
Now, ROA is adding Crocs to the roster. Gorpy clog bois, your time has come.
