#SpongebobSquarepants

Another beloved character is joining the Crocs family as the company will soon debut a pair of rubber clogs themed after Patrick Star from the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise.

The massive footwear company's newest collaboration brings the fan-favorite pink starfish to their usual style of clogs, with an all-new pair modeled after the character, complete with its own accessories.

Patrick's usual pink color takes up most of the clogs' design, with the lower half near the sole taking on a lime green color, with purple flowers to emulate the shorts he always wears, as well as Patrick's face on the inside of each one making two distinct expressions.
