This Crocs and NASA Collaboration Isn’t Real. But Maybe it Should Be

February 22, 2025

Crocs rose from goofy clogs for wearing around the house to true cultural phenomenon. While their aesthetics remain pretty divisive, this concept collaboration with NASA brings the foam shoes into a whole new perspective.

Designed with the help of AI by Vadim Sadovski, we see a range of Crocs that feel ready for their Lunar debut.

From high tech, 3D printed boots, to classic Crocs with a Lunar surface texture, the concepts take advantage of Crocs’ holes to fit in with the moon’s craters.

Whether you’d wear them or not, it’s a pretty compelling collaboration.
