Singer Post Malone is enjoying a second career as a Croc designer. That is such a weird sentence to write. But I guess, why not, right? Somebody has to design Crocs so it might as well be a tattooed cloud rapper. But the other reason Post should be a Croc designer is he’s really good at it! His fifth collaboration with the spongy shoe manufacturer, known as the Post Malone X Crocs Duet Max Clog II, sold out in just hours. The pairs were originally selling for $60. But if you want to score a pair of hot pink and camo walkers now, you’ll need to cough up more than double that.
Post Malone Crocs returned today with a fifth edition and, like previous PM Croc offerings, quickly sold out.
Back in November of 2018, the first edition of custom-designed Post Malone Crocs went out of stock soon after becoming available for purchase (at $60 per pair – the same as each subsequent version). The mutually beneficial partnership ramped up during the next year – by mid-December of 2019, the fourth edition of the shoes had arrived – and this fifth and latest iteration, officially dubbed the Post Malone X Crocs Duet Max Clog II, sold out in a matter of hours.
To be sure, multiple fans relayed on social media this afternoon that they were unable to purchase the newest Post Malone Crocs in their preferred size and color. Crocs, for their part, encouraged customers in a tweet to “get back in line” if they were booted from the site as a multitude of eager shoppers attempted to score a pair of the shoes, which went on sale at 9 AM PST today.
Shortly after fans took to Twitter to voice their frustration over being unable to acquire the product, the exclusive shoes were available on Crocs’ website solely in electric pink, with the black variation having sold out entirely. Moreover, the remaining stock encompassed just two women’s shoe sizes (11 and 12) and five men’s shoes sizes (9, 10, 11, 12, and 13).
Predictably, Post Malone promoted the shoes several times on social media, writing hours ago that there were “only a few left.” And just prior to publishing, Crocs indicated that its Post Malone Crocs U.S. inventory had depleted. No shortage of resellers are cashing in on the pronounced market demand, Ebay sales reveal, and certain much-sought sizes of the black Post Malone Crocs have fetched north of $130 on the day.
I mean, good for him. Clearly, he’s tapped into a niche that works for him and his fans. I don’t own any Crocs, but his designs look cute, I could see their popularity. I truly do not know much about Post, I am not even that familiar with his music, although I like the few songs I do know (I never realize they are his, though). I know he’s not perfect and has had his share of negative press. But he seems to have found a way to keep his nose clean in his Croc designs.
In addition to the Crocs themselves, the Jibbitz – decals used to decorate Crocs – include a rubber duck, grapes, brightly colored hearts and one “inspired by his hammer and flail face tattoos.” Last Friday, 5,000 lucky fans won a free pair of Post’s newest collection. The issue was a limited-edition so I doubt there will be a reissue. But who knows, maybe with our need of miracles in 2020, they will find it in their heart to give us one more chance at a Post Malone X Crocs Duet Max Clog II? They could issue tickets, ala Willy Wonka, “I’ve got a Golden Post Croc!” Eh, I mean – why not?

I love crocs for camping. I used to wear them to work and they were super comfy, but I was afraid they were damaging my feet. These are cute but I wouldn’t pay that for them!
I’d hit it. Totally. You heard that right.
I’d shame f**k Post Malone all the way into next week, omg, yes I would.
There’s something so sexy about his icky face tats and overall grungy vibe that gets me going like you wouldn’t believe. I can barely believe it myself.
And then I’d shower in bleach for days and never ever tell anyone about it, but yes, Post Malone is my celebrity shame f**k without question!
He’s got a real purty voice and has a bit of the sad rock star thing going.
I can feel that.
My son’s friend is an avid Crocs collector. She says bots buy up the new releases for the resell market. I’m interested to see if she was able to get a pair. She has past edition Post Malone Crocs.
I have a pair of crocs that I wear around the house, they are so comfortable. Ugly as all can be, but comfortable.
A friend on FB who lives in Texas just posted a pic of her kids who got them – apparently he sent all the kids at his former HS a free pair! My 17 year old loves them as bum around shoes, but not at $60.
My little neighborhood jokes it’s a requirement to live here as we noticed we all wear them walking our dogs, around the yard, etc.
I have a pair of their platform sandals that are incredibly comfortable and get compliments whenever I wear them…no one believes they are Crocs!
I would hit that so hard. I know he’s half my age and probably smells so bad, but he can still GET IT.
This whole thing is a spoof, right?
Almost all my shoes, including winter boots, are crocs. Crocs are sooo much more than that silly shoe. I would never buy the “iconic” croc, but their shoe tech is on point for me. Plus their shoes are almost indestructible. I own a couple pairs of flip flops that I have put through the WRINGER. never have they busticated or broken apart. And I’m talking years of full time wear.
I also love Post Malone. His music is my jam. But not his shoes… 🤷♀️
My husband is the VP of Global Creative at Crocs HQ here on the Front Range of Colorado. I’m so stoked to see something he worked very hard make it to a website I read daily and refresh all morning until the final links are posted. My old Grinch heart grew three sizes.
How exciting!
I love crocs! Well. I’m not a fan of the shoe that put them on the map, but the women’s shoe line is divine! I have flats, flip flops, sandals, chunky dressy shoes, exercise shoes, sneakers in 3 colours, booties, 2 winter boots. I actually can’t wear shoes that aren’t crocs, they are too hard. My foot has been completely coddled and pampered by the croc sole.
Please let him know I tell everyone to try crocs. That they are so much more than a garden/work shoe. I have been stopped by people asking me where I got my winter boots. Crocs should be celebrated as an excellent all round shoe that is equal in style and comfort!
