The campaign will highlight the iconic Classic Clog,as well as LiteRide™,the brand's latest innovation in comfort technology,and the popular Crocs Serena and Swiftwater™ sandal collections.

"Since launching 'Come As You Are' in 2017,Crocs has seen renewed brand interest from consumers around the globe," said Terence Reilly,Crocs' Chief Marketing Officer. "We are proud of what this campaign has achieved,but are eager to see how a talented,unique and self-expressive cast can redefine what it means to be comfortable in your own shoes."

"I've said it before,but I truly believe if you don't scare yourself a little bit,you'll never grow," said Dormer. "Whether it's the roles I've played or marathons I've run,I challenge myself to get out of my comfort zone. That's why the 'Come As You Are' message that Crocs is sharing is so important to me."

In China,actress,dancer and model Gina Jin is best known for starring in the television dramas Peacock King and Seven Weapons while Korean brand ambassador Kim Se-Jeong is active as a popular K-POP singer since her official debut as a member of gugudan in 2016.
