Crocs is celebrating the release of the SpongeBob movie with a new collaborative line. Following the SpongeBob and Patrick models, the final release is Squidward. While the first two models are relatively unassuming, the Squidward model makes a striking impression. The shoes create a sense of alienation, as if stepping into Squidward's head. His entire face is realistically depicted, with a cold gaze, prominent raised eyebrows, and even a long nose.
The Jingjing model features a light green exterior, mirroring the character's skin tone. The strap is white, and the pivot is decorated with an anchor-shaped decoration. Available in unisex sizes, the official release date is December 11th, priced at $80. Fans are praising it as a rare collectible. As it's being released as a commemorative piece, initial sales are highly anticipated.
SpongeBob and Patrick models will also be available in stores. The SpongeBob model features arms on both shoes and a band around the midsole that represents his boxer shorts. The insole features SpongeBob's face, revealing the character's form from above. The Patrick model comes with various Jibbitz items, including a rock-shaped decoration, a Patrick minifigure, a sunscreen bottle, and a mayonnaise bottle. The strap features Patrick's line, "Is Mayonnaise An Instrument?" The midsole reflects the green and purple pattern of Patrick's shorts, adding to the visual completeness.
This collaborative line strongly showcases the unique character of the SpongeBob universe, directly infusing each character's personality into the medium of footwear. This appears to be a strategy aimed at stimulating fans' purchasing desires in anticipation of the film's release. The Squidward model, with its bold design and unique texture, is generating buzz, and sales trends on the day of its release are expected to be highly anticipated.
