Today’s sneaker shopper is more open-minded than ever, and a lot of that expanded perspective is credited to brands like Crocs that have proven that alternative silhouettes such as the Classic Clog has its place in shoe culture.
However, there are still some common environments the Classic Clog and shoes of its ilk may not be best suited for, and Crocs has taken steps forward to round out their catalog to satisfy the wants and needs of today’s style and comfort-focused consumer. Enter the Crocs Echo Surge, a daily-driver and bonafide sneaker that just dropped.
Their latest sneaker style builds on a rich history of envelope-pushing design, beginning with the off-the-wall Crocs Echo Collection that brought abstract geometry to their everlasting tentpole. From there, the Echo Slide ushered in a warm-weather in the same school of thought. Just a few months ago, they iterated further with the Echo Storm, true to its title with an all-new tempestuous design.
The Echo Surge represents the culmination of all those steps before it. It’s Crocs’ biggest step forward to date, bridging an eye-catching molded sole unit and true performance capabilities with a sock-like stretch upper. Further, LiteRide cushioning underfoot offers a tailored, plush on-foot ride with sink-in softness. A traditional lacing system may be a rarity in the Crocs universe, but underscores the Crocs Echo Surge’s cutting-edge spot in their catalog. The Crocs Echo Surge will hit the market in two neutral colorways of “Moonlight/White” & “Atmosphere/Acidity.” Both of them offer up go-with-everything sorts of palettes, sure, but they each tackle a different side of that. The pair in “Moonlight” offers up fully cleaned-up aesthetics, fit for casual wear & more refined occasions. The latter brings neon “Acidity” into the fold for some under-the-radar statement piece appeal. You can’t go wrong either way; both build around pieces that can seamlessly shuffle into any wardrobe.
