There are 13 holes on each pair of classic Crocs, you can sport up to 26 at a time. Besides the mini speaker, @thetuffgym also customized his Crocs with Jibbitz that spelled out his username on each toe.
Crocs is having a big moment in fashion as of late. Featuring collaborations with the likes of Balenciaga, SZA, Christian Cowan, MCM, Hello Kitty and even Pokemon, the controversial shoe has been embraced by top stars like Simone Biles, Madonna and Bella Hadid, among others.
The rise in popularity is likely due in part to the shoes’ undeniable comfort. Crocs had a surge in interest in 2020 during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, with people adopting the shoe into their day-to-day.
