Are Crocs popular in Europe?
Adjusted operating profits popped 166% from a year ago. Sales in the Americas division spiked 135.8%. Sales in Europe and Asia rose 52.6% and 27.1%, respectively.
In 2021, Crocs had 162 retail stores in the United States, 89 in South Korea, and 34 in China.
With its offering of constantly evolving, limited editions, Crocs may well be seen as ironic anti-fashion, but it is also set to become the shoe of 2021. So, do yourself a favour and go and get yourself a pair, because, at the very least, your feet will be comfortable.
Between 2020 and 2021, Crocs was one of the fastest-growing fashion brands, seeing an increase of 430% in sales.
I wore my crocs during my last trip to Paris and will be wearing them again. They are so comfortable and save your feet. I saw others wearing Crocs as well. I wore my black ones and they were fine - didn't stick out at all, especially when worn with jeans or long pants.
In Europe, Crocs operates 78 franchise stores and 32 standalone ones. Its last quarterly report showed an impressive 50% increase and the brand turned over 36 million euros in sales. In France, Crocs is currently distributed via 940 multibrand stores.
The absolute most generous take among fashion-conscious types seemed to be that Crocs's signature clogs were uncool, clunky, evidence even of a slovenly person. The Cut once joked Crocs were “100 percent effective birth control.” In short, they were considered ugly. This did not deter the Crocs corporation.
Crocs are officially back in fashion as the brand achieved record sales in 2021 when housebound shoppers embraced the comfortable shoe.
Crocs are so popular thanks to their practicality, versatility, comfort, range of designs, customisable design (with jibbitz), long lasting material, hard wearing sole, and visibility in the fashion trend cycle (worn by supermodels, fashion icons, rappers and other musical artists).
Fans of the foam clogs include John Cena, Prince George, Mario Batali and Whoopi Goldberg. Here, celebrities who love wearing Crocs.
When did Crocs become popular again?
One of the first hints of Crocs making a major fashion impact was when designer Christopher Kane put them on the Spring/Summer 2017 runway. They really became popular in the mainstream around the beginning of the pandemic, according to Zoë Hennessey, a Los Angeles-based fashion stylist.
In 2018, Crocs announced it would close all of its manufacturing facilities, as well as 160 of its retail stores. Crocs' CFO resigned, and it appeared the brand might meet its final demise. But, there's more to the story.
