It is all set to launch on 27th May 2022 (Friday) at 11:00 AM. The ChumbakXCrocs footwear collection will be available offline at Chumbak and Crocs stores as well online on Mytra and Superkicks.
This glocal partnership integrates Chumbak’s signature designs, inspired by Indian art forms, with Crocs’ iconic Classic Clog. The designs embrace the Crocs’ proclamation to Come As You Are – inviting everyone to show their own vibe. Crocs and Chumbak are introducing the campaign with ‘It’s a Vibe” – whatever you feel, whatever you do, wherever you go, when you put on your Chumbak X Crocs Classic clogs, YOU become the VIBE!
Commenting on the partnership, Sumit Dhingra, Vice President and General Manager, India & SEA said “Classic clogs are our brand icon that are a perfect canvas for self-expression allowing you to show your individuality in the most authentic way. In the past, we have partnered with leading brands and personalities like Balenciaga, Drew House by Justin Bieber, Post Malone etc. These collaborations have been phenomenally successful achieving a sell-out within minutes across the globe. This is the first ever time India is launching a partnership and it showcases our commitment to ignite the Indian market with highly localized products & marketing. Crocs is all about colours, joy, self-expression and Chumbak is a perfect brand to partner as it celebrates Indian art forms in its own unique way. We bring a truly unique partnership with Chumbak that appeals to urban Indian women.”
Inspired by the intricate patterns of Ikat & Paisleys, one of the oldest art forms that originated in India, the Chumbak X Crocs Classic clogs are a modern take on the heritage art form. Once used as currency in the Silk Road, Ikat has been practised in India for thousands of years. For this collection, traditional Ikat prints feature prominently on the footwear along with Jibbitz charms inspired by Indian motifs like owl, sparrow, elephant, and sparrow.
The colours are vibrant keeping it authentic to Crocs and Chumbak’s style along with funky Jibbitz created for fun everyday moments. The ChumbakXCrocs Classic clogs are available in red, blue, and beige and are versatile for different occasions like a date night, WFH or girls’ night out!
