The Crocs Islander Pitcrew is an unexpected footwear style created by the brand that toes the line between shoe styles to effectively deliver an entirely familiar yet new profile. The shoe boasts the base of a Crocs Classic Clog that's accented by an upper collar that's designed with a boat shoe aesthetic. The result is a lightweight, airy take on the traditionally leather-made shoe design to work well for wear in a variety of environments.
The Crocs Islander Pitcrew also embraces the use of the Crocs Classic Clog in boating and further puts the boat shoe aesthetic in focus. The shoe, however, won't be on store shelves for the summertime with the projected release expected sometime in the fall.
