Salehe Bembury Unveils New Crocs Pollex Mule — the "Saru"

Salehe Bembury is setting the stage for another groundbreaking release in collaboration with Crocs. The partnership, which previously brought us the unique Pollex Clog, Pollex Slide, and new Pollex Juniper Shoe, is evolving with the introduction of the Pollex Mule, adding to the already diverse Pollex Pod collection.

Teased on Instagram by Bembury himself with a post captioned "Saru," there's speculation around whether this refers to the sneaker's name or its colorway. Intriguingly, "Saru" shares its name with a character from the "Star Trek: Discovery" series, hinting at possible inspiration or simply showcasing Bembury's penchant for unique and memorable naming conventions.

The Pollex Mule distinguishes itself with a design that merges the iconic features of Crocs' Classic Clog upper, including its textured edges and perforations for enhanced breathability and water drainage, with Bembury's signature design cues. The sole of the mule is where Bembury's creativity shines, featuring a 3D fingerprint motif that adds a unique visual element and improves traction, making it a standout piece for aesthetics and functionality.

Unlike the Pollex Clog, the new Mule silhouette shifts away from rubberized elements, opting for a sleeker, foam-based construction instead. This design choice reflects Bembury's forward-thinking approach to footwear, blending style with the comfort and innovation synonymous with the Crocs brand.

While the release date for the Pollex Mule remains under wraps, the anticipation within the sneaker community is palpable. Bembury's continuous efforts to redefine casual footwear and Crocs' commitment to comfort and innovation suggest that the Pollex Mule will be yet another hit for both collaborators.

While we await more details on this exciting new addition to the Salehe Bembury x Crocs line, a teaser image has been released to get the juices flowing for 2024

Expect more looks and further details to emerge soon.
