Salehe Bembury has had his hands full when it comes to sneaker collaborations over the past couple of years, in particular 2024, but he has not forgotten where the collaboration game kind of found him and introduced him to the larger and more commercial audience. Crocs and Salehe Bembury have returned to deliver a brand new variation of their iconic Crocs clog. The “Art Friends Thumbs Up Good Job" in collaboration with Nina Chanel Abney is on the way and officially goes on sale April 30th.
Bembury broke the news via Instagram this morning, revealing that the new colorway and art style will be available April 30th and will have an exclusive number to them, making it an experience all sneakerheads truly know and love. The clog will be set to 1000 pairs and combines Nina Chanel Abney's abstract vision for art with the highly sought-after Crocs collaboration model. Featuring a checkered black and white color base, the signature toe area that has become synonymous with Salehe Bembury's Crocs pieces is highlighted with a pink hue that completes the look of the shoe and adds to it in ways that truly bring out a new side of the clog.
A "NCA" logo with a smiley face can be seen inside the clog, standing for Nina Chanel Abney and her work, going into the art piece. The pair was highlighted by Bembury 2 weeks ago with an Instagram post captioned “Art Friends Thumbs Up Good Job," showing off the new Crocs as well as two other designs.
As an exclusive collaboration limited to such a small number, best of luck to those who are looking to secure a pair.
