The comfort of your favorite jeans now spreads to your toes with this colorful, grungy tie-in between Crocs and Levi’s.
Lacing the collaboration is Japanese denim artisan Proleta Re Art, who was tapped by both brands to upcycle deadstock fabric into one-of-a-kind All-Terrain Atlas clogs.

The scraps hail from the shuttered Cone Mills White Oak factory, a partner of Levi’s for 112 years and the last surviving selvedge denim mill in the US, which closed its doors in 2017. As such, you can never find Crocs like these ones again.
As detailed by Footwear News, each assorted style sports a one-of-one paisley design and a unique blend of colors, and arrives in a bag also crafted from denim offcuts.

Alas, there are only 60 pairs of this limited edition lying around, and they appear to only be reserved for “friends and family.”
Fans will be able to get back on their feet when they realize there’s another, less rare design that Levi’s and Crocs are anticipated to launch this September 22, which sees a constellation-like pattern over a raw denim upper. This version is more pared-back in appearance too, perfect for those who love sitting around in their true-blue jeans.
