The history of crocs

The world-famous Crocs were designed as boat shoes, which is why their 2002 launch, with the Crocs Beach, was at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, where 200 pairs were sold immediately.

This was thanks to the inspiration of three American friends. In Canada, they discovered the material that would lead to their success: the Croslite cell, which is neither plastic nor rubber and, due to its properties, it is antimicrobial, eliminates odors and is non-toxic

Crocs’ impact

Currently, celebrities such as Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Paris Hilton, Ben Affleck and Kate Winslet are consumers of the Crocs brand, which, incidentally, is named for the crocodile.

In 2006, four years after its market launch, the brand debuted on the stock market, priced at $21 per share. Currently, it is an organization valued at more than a billion dollars, multi-target and with a wide variety of products, that are functional and fashionable.
