Half boat shoe, half Croc — all heritage comfort.
Two decades after Crocs first made waves at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, the brand has teamed up with Huckberry to bring back a cult favorite from its archives. The result is the Crocs Classic Boat Shoe, a $65 hybrid that blends seafaring design cues with Crocs’ unmistakable comfort.
A Throwback with Purpose
The original design, once known as the Islander Pit Crew, was beloved for its blend of durability, grip, and water-readiness. Huckberry and Crocs have now revived it with a refined aesthetic and outdoor versatility that speaks to both longtime fans and first-time wearers.
Design Breakdown
- Two-eye lacing system with side eyelets for a classic boat shoe profile.
- Ventilated Croslite upper for quick-dry comfort and airflow.
- Colorways: Coffee-Cognac (fastest-selling), plus two more versatile tones.
- Customizable with Jibbitz charms, keeping the playful Crocs DNA intact.
The two-tone brown-and-tan design channels timeless outdoor staples like L.L. Bean boots and Sperry boat shoes, while still feeling unmistakably Crocs.
Styled for Everyday Adventure
Huckberry leans into the Americana vibe, showcasing the boat shoes with:
- Rugged double-knee work pants
- A retro trucker cap
It’s styling that works for:
- Lake trips and dockside hangs
- Backyard BBQs
- Early fall weekends, whether grilling or catching the Sunday game
The Price of Comfort
At $65, the Crocs Classic Boat Shoe is far more affordable than many traditional boat shoes while still offering rugged utility. It’s a shoe built to transition seamlessly from water to land, from a summer day to a fall evening.
Huckberry’s Collaboration Playbook
This release continues Huckberry’s run of heritage-driven collaborations, following recent partnerships with:
- Citizen (watches)
- Ford (automotive-inspired apparel)
Each project reinterprets American classics with a modern twist — and this Crocs collab might be the most playful yet.
The Crocs Classic Boat Shoe is more than a mash-up. It’s a revival that celebrates where Crocs began, brought into the present with Huckberry’s signature rugged styling. From the dock to the driveway, this collaboration proves that practicality and style can share the same deck.
