While Salehe Bembury has been hard at work on New Balance and Puma designs, his most famous partnership, Crocs on the Pollex Pod Collection, has been silent all of 2025. Until now, there were no teasers for what Bembury was cooking up with Crocs, but an Instagram post has finally changed this, as he’s given us a glimpse into the next Art Friends Thumbs Up Good Job release.
Starting in February 2024, Salehe would employ other artists and designers with whom he was close to producing a limited series of Crocs Pollex Clogs. The first project was with Futura, limiting the three-way collab to 1,000 pairs. Following this, Salehe tapped Jonas Wood for another limited-to-1,000 Pollex Clog.
Next will be Nina Chanel Abney; as in a recent Instagram post, Salehe showcases a black-and-white checkerboard version of the Pollex Clog with NCA branding features. On top of this, Kenny Scharf, the American painter who rose to fame in the ‘80s, is seen holding a pair of the Futura x Salehe Bembury x Crocs Pollex Clog, potentially hinting at a collaboration in the future.
The Salehe Bembury x Nina Chanel Abney x Crocs Pollex Clog will release April 30, 2025, through Salehe's Be A Spunge website and Nina Chanel's Super Cool Studios website. The release will be limited to just 1,000. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
