Ugly Shoes Empire Expanding: Crocs Goes Into New Merchandise Territory (CROX)
Published:
Last Updated:
Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) is going into many new horizons with its brand. It almost sounds impossible if you are not a fan of the brand. Many people love Crocs, but many think it is one of the ugliest brands on the market. If you love those rubber shoes, how about wearing new accessories, apparel, and eyewear with the Crocs logos on them? The data comes from a press release, otherwise we might wonder if it was reported by The Onion.
OK. so let’s get this straight. Medical scrubs, baseball shoes, eyeglasses, hats backpacks, and gloves… All with the Crocs label on them.
This just sounds bad on the surface. As far as investors are concerned, if it grows the brand and captures new sales that were previously uncharted then it is a win.
200 million pairs of shoes sold is probably a better judge than us calling Crox one of the ugliest brands that there is. After all, opinions greatly differ and the sales results probably speak louder than critical words.
