The open-backed clog trend has been hitting every corner of the footwear industry, but at the heart of the trend, Crocs is still sitting pretty. The clog bosses have been putting sport mode energy into collaborations across the pop culture landscape and churning out unique, sculptural silhouettes that push the boundaries of foam footwear.
The Crocs Roy is the brand’s latest architectural slide silhouette designed by Steven Smith, and a new pair keeps things as subtle as possible in monochrome Elephant Grey. Covered entirely in the elephant hide shade, the colorway brings all of the attention to the unique foot-cradling shape. Before getting a glimpse at the grey pair, we’d already seen the Roy in a midnight navy shade and a TEDx collab in red.

Featuring an upper made of four thick horizontal stripes, the silhouette slants forward like blinds let open for just a peek of sun. In between each segment, a bit of air adds breathability, while the one-piece structure connects to the base of the shoe on each side, with a raised heel adding even more lock-in support.
The Crocs Roy Elephant Grey will be released August 7, 2026, through Crocs and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $80. For all the latest Crocs news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
