Crocs Finally Addresses the Elephant (Clog) in the Room

Crocs might be known for comfort, but it also does experimental silhouettes very well. Unconvinced? Let Crocs' Roy Elephant clog be all the evidence you need.

The futuristic clog is made with soft, elephant-toned foam and segmented cuts across the upper that give the plush shoe its futuristic edge.

This avant-garde disposition goes against the trusted simplicity of your classic Crocs clog. Even with all the jibbitz you can fathom, a classic clog is still a classic clog. But the Roy Elephant Clog, though still made with similarly foam-tastic material, comes from a different world altogether.

In fact, the future-facing shoe was actually named after Elroy Jetson from The Jetsons, the pinnacle of retrofuturistic media if you didn't know.

It's both objectively simple and delightfully obscure. What is a good clog if not a bit enigmatic?

On top of that, it's also quite ergonomic despite what its sculptural appearance might suggest. See, those segmented flex grooves aren't just for cool points; they also support good foot movement so you can clog it up all the live long day.

Even though Crocs' Roy Elephant clog looks like it was hand-molded by some sort of acclaimed starchitect, it was actually designed by Steven Smith, a master (sneaker) builder in his own right.

Often called the "Godfather of Dad Shoes," Smith has created some of the most iconic sneakers, like, ever. From New Balance's 997 to Nike's Zoom Spiridon Cage 2, Mr. Dad Shoe has been an earthy dad shoe GOAT for decades. Now, he's taking his talents out of space with a cray good Crocs clog in tow.
