Crocs DNA
The Cypress might be the perfect amalgamation between clog and boot, but it wouldn’t be complete without Bembury’s signature design stamp – his unique fingerprint. The motif appears on the sole of his Crocs Pollex Clog and Juniper, but it has been modified on the Cypress to feature thinner, more condensed ridges that imitate the wispy branches of the boot’s titular tree, a species often found in wetland regions. But the Cypress’s eye-catching tread is definitely not just for show, as the large ridges enhance grip in wet, muddy, rocky and generally slick conditions. The rubber tread also extends up the sides to meet the Croslite mid-section, adding structural support and extra purchase in unstable terrain. As a bonus, the thick rubber around the toe helps prevent painful stubs from stray rocks and semi-submerged roots.
Hitting the Trails
The Cypress upper is constructed from lightweight yet durable canvas that has been treated with a water-resistant coating that beads up moisture, allowing it to simply slide off the surface just like – you guessed it – a duck’s back. Unlike many high-top stompers that are impossible to put on and then take forever to break in, the Cypress features oversized heel loops for easy access. The flexible yet supportive canvas conforms to the contours of ankles and heels, negating the usual break-in time that often leaves trekkers wishing they had said no to achilles-annihilating hikes in rookie boots. Simple metal lace eyelets lace up securely without anyone having to think twice, while the gusseted tongue eliminates cracks for H2O to slip through.
Long story short, Crocs and Salehe Bembury didn't reinvent the duck boot because they didn’t have to – they just turned it into the most formidable and functional pair of Crocs ever made!
Inspired by the green and brown hues of the ubiquitous wild duck, the Crocs Cypress debuted in the ‘Mallard’ colourway. Keep an eye out on the latest from .
