The history of Crocs: From boating to Bieber and Jibbitz | CBC Kids News

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Crocs keep popping up (and popping off) everywhere.
According to a 2023 news release, Crocs sold more than $4 billion US worth of the foam-filled shoe last year.
Although $4 billion US doesn’t necessarily take a bite out of the other shoe giants like Nike, which sold $51 billion US in 2023, Crocs still seem to be here to stay.
Whether you rock them all summer for their comfortable cushion-like feel or despise their awkward shape and bright colours, Crocs have an interesting history.
From boating shoes to Jibbitz to Justin Bieber, there’s a lot to explain with the lore of Crocs.
But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with this week’s KN Explains: Crocs.
