Month: September 2023

JJJJound has seemingly teamed up with every brand in the footwear industry, from Reebok to Salomon. The Montreal-based design studio has now scratched another name off its list, announcing that it’ll be releasing a Crocs collaboration.Slated to debut during Fall/Winter 2023, JJJJound took to Instagram to reveal the partnership with a snap of the forthcoming shoe. It’s essentially one of Crocs’ Classic Clogs with “JJJJound” emblazoned across the strap. The name reads clearly when the strap is pushed towards the front of the shoe – what some Crocs wearers would call “relaxation mode” – but will appear upside down when in “sport mode.”While the photo only showed a white version of the Crocs, it’s possible the collaboration includes other colorways.Prior to unveiling this latest pair of kicks, JJJJound and Reebok revived their partnership for a monochromatic black Club C. Featuring a leather upper and a puffy nylon toe, that shoe is scheduled to drop on August 24 via the JJJJound website before it expands to the Reebok store the following week.Stay tuned for more details regarding the release of the JJJJound x Crocs collaboration. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JJJJound (@jjjjound)In other footwear news, PUMA and WNBA’s Breanna Stewart debuted the new Stewie 2 Fire.
