Today Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) introduces two new sleek styles, the
Ginger and the Saffron, designed specifically for women in the
restaurant, food service, healthcare, and hospitality industries.
Retailers can view the new styles, along with five other Crocs™
Work Shoes models, the Bistro, Velocity, High Velocity, Specialist
and Specialist Vent, by visiting the Crocs booth, #6051, at the National
Restaurant Association Show at Chicago’s
McCormick Place May 17-20, 2008.
The Ginger is the first shoe in the Crocs™
Work Shoes collection to feature a heel. The 2-inch wedge style heel is
designed for stability and comfort in the workplace. The Saffron, a
tasteful take on the classic Mary Jane, features an adjustable strap for
a secure fit and a roomy toe box for comfort. Both styles include
signature Crocs design elements such as Crocs Lock™
tread for superior slip resistance on oil, water and a wide variety of
slippery surfaces, a Croslite™ material
footbed which conforms to the foot creating a custom fit, and quality
ergonomic design minimizing the load on feet, legs, and back. Offered in
classic black and white, the Ginger (MSRP: $69.99) will be available in
women’s sizes 4-10 and the Saffron (MSRP:
$59.99) in women’s sizes 4-12. Both styles
will be available at select retail locations in mid-August or at www.crocsworkshoes.com.
“The Crocs Work collection has been very well
received by professionals in the hospitality, healthcare and food
service industries,” said Ken Chaplin, Vice
President of Global Licensed Products. “We
are confident the introduction of the Ginger and Saffron’s
sleek styles will introduce more consumers to our Work collection and
ensure the continued growth of Crocs within these industries.”
In addition to debuting new products, Crocs, Inc. will host world-class
chef, Mario
Batali on Saturday, May 17th from
