So here's something that apparently exists. Crocs, the makers of those famous foam clogs, beloved by children and celebrity chef Mario Batali alike, has come out with some Star Wars-inspired merch. And not some black clogs with the Star Wars logo in yellow on them either, although you can find something similar to that, too. You can now buy Crocs that will help you channel the fur-ocity of none other than Chewbacca the Wookiee himself.
The Crocband Star Wars Chewbacca Lined Clog, as the shoes are officially known, look just like your regular old Crocs, if they required a haircut, that is. The khaki-colored clogs come with what is described as "a hairy, toasty lining" in the color of Chewie's brown fur. The top of the shoes also have a little badge featuring the character as well as a decorative band around the bottom of the shoe that's in the style of his bandolier.
In a video on the Crocs website, Visual Designer Alise Grysen recommends wearing these Chewie-approved Crocs "to work, to relax at home, a nice stroll around the block or at any major Star Wars event." The Crocs also come in sizes for men, women and kids (although this version is noticeably less hairy), so any aspiring Wookiee can rock a pair. The Crocs retail for $59.99 for men and women and $39.99 for children.
If looking like Chewie clashes with your personal style, there are several other Star Wars-inspired designs from Crocs. These include kids' designs with R2-D2, Darth Vader and Yoda, as well as several Jibbitz, those little decorative pieces you can put on the top of your Crocs, featuring those characters.
Hopefully, you're not too sick of seeing Star Wars merch yet, because Force Friday on Sept. 4 is quickly approaching. On this day, the official Star Wars: The Force Awakens products will be released. You might just need the Force to get through it.
