I suppose I'm purchasing Red Bull F1 Crocs now.

That’s likely what a younger Jerry would’ve thought. However, now I’d probably feel a bit embarrassed to sport little Red Bull Formula 1 cars on my feet. I suppose I'm just getting older. Regardless, I’m sure there are plenty of people eager to jump on the new collaboration between Red Bull Racing and Crocs. Are most of them kids? Most likely. But hey, a sale is a sale, and that’s the essence of these collaborations.
The Milton Keynes-based team posted a humorous video on social media to announce their new partnership, depicting a team member “slipping” into a Croc and zooming off. In fact, the Croc resembles a car bed more than a traditional Croc. You can view the video below.
According to the official Crocs website, two models are available: the Red Bull Racing Classic Runner and the Crocband Clog. The former is the more understated option, resembling a regular pair of Crocs but in team colors (it seems to include some Jibbitz charms, although applying those is optional). The latter is the more playful version, reminiscent of the Lightning McQueen Crocs from a few years back. The Classic Runner retails for $85, while the Crocband Clog is priced at $95. If you’re only interested in the RBR Jibbitz charms, those are available for $20. For what it’s worth, this is the highest frequency I’ve ever used the terms Croc or Jibbitz in my 39 years.
Also, if Red Bull could share a photo of Max Verstappen wearing these, I would greatly appreciate it.
Crocs, RBR
The Red Bull Racing Crocs will be available for sale starting May 21, just ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. If they’re anything like other special edition releases, they will likely sell out quickly.
