Building on their previous success, the two brands have unveiled a new collaboration centered on the Echo RO clog. The pack leverages BAPE’s signature camouflage patterns and custom hardware to target the growing premium "outdoor-lifestyle" segment.

A BATHING APE and Crocs have rejoined forces, demonstrating that comfortable slip-ons can still have a significant streetwear impact. After their exceptionally successful Classic Clog partnership last year, the two prominent brands are transitioning to a far more robust silhouette. This week, the BAPE x Crocs Echo RO Clog Pack introduces the distinctive, vibrant essence of the Japanese streetwear brand into a practical, trail-oriented design.



The new line is entirely based on BAPE’s trademark COLOR CAMO pattern, engulfing the sculpted foam upper in three distinct, striking colorways: navy-toned Powder Blue, bright Grapeberry purple, and blazing Flame red. To prominently display the collaboration's heritage, bold BAPE branding extends over the forefoot, while the lateral heel strap features a distinctive PVC STA logo. The main highlight of any Crocs partnership, beyond the amazing camouflage patterns, resides in the accessories. This version excels in that regard, with bespoke Jibbitz charms, each pair adorned with a “GO! APE” speech bubble, a distinctive APE HEAD charm, and a slumbering MILO character positioned above the BAPE wordmark. Supplementary APE HEAD emblems embossed on the footbeds connect the overall endeavor to the brand's illustrious past.

The Echo RO Clog functions as a more robust and durable enhancement to the conventional Crocs collection. The silhouette has a full-length rubber outsole, enhancing traction and providing a robust aesthetic that harmonizes BAPE’s whimsical, camouflage-centric design with practical outdoor functionality. This drop combines high-visibility streetwear aesthetics with trail-ready functionality, suitable for both urban navigation and off-grid relaxation. BAPE and Crocs have presented an unmistakable summer footwear essential featuring three striking hues adorned with co-branded elements.
