Crocs scooped up many of the Yeezy alumni after Ye’s departure from adidas, with the legendary Steven Smith headlining this group. Smith’s expertise and experience in the footwear industry, dating back to the ‘80s, have earned him the position of head of creative innovation for the Colorado-based clog makers.
Our first glimpse at Steven Smith’s output with Crocs came around five months ago when the man himself debuted the Crocs Ripple on his Instagram story. Fast forward to today, and the public has had a shot at this white-and-blue colorway via early drops in Vegas and Miami, a neon Lime Burst version at the Crocs SoHo store, and Smith continues to tease new Crocs models on his Instagram story. However, those looking for the original Crocs Ripple have only a short wait before the global release.
Steven Smith’s Crocs Ripple features a two-tone look, with stiffer white foam used as the shell and a soft Crocs Mellow foam in blue on the side walls, footbed, and outsole. Torsional support comes from a TPU integrated into the midfoot, something not typically found on Crocs designs, while perforations on the toe allow for one to customize the look with Jibbitz.
The Crocs Ripple Moonlight Neon Ocean will be released globally on March 5, 2026 via the Crocs app, Crocs website, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $90.
