The shoe brand has been famous for its unique design products, although they are considered weird by most people. Even it has even been kept in TIME magazine’s list of the world’s 50 worst inventions. Crocs was founded in 2004, with its unique products foam shoes and especially clogs. The brand has seen massive success initially and was quite popular, especially among teenagers and high school students. The company was seeing a good amount of growth despite its criticism because of its design. But it started facing a downfall in 2008 during the time of recession. The company had planned to enter into the new fields of wearables launching new products. But the recession hit, and the company had faced huge losses. Its share price even came down from $69 to $1. 

However, as things started getting normal and the market came back on track, the brand also bounced back because of its brand perception among customers. It even became a trend, and many celebrities like Justin Beiber, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, and many more were often seen publicly wearing Crocs. The brand has also started making some limited edition wearables, and people started buying Crocs not just for wearable purposes but as collectibles. These incidents made massive publicity of the brand, and despite haters and critics of the brand, it still holds a good position in the market. Now, entering the digital world will make it closer to its customers digitally.
