Fans who missed out on the first G Flip collab,which sold out in less than an hour,are in luck as the Australian musician gears up to launch the second collaboration with a fresh new take on the Classic Clog.

"Crocs and I have had an incredible journey together so far and now it continues with another G Flip x Crocs collaboration. I've had this design in my head ever since I started wearing Crocs so it's a dream come true to see it in real life. They're comfy,they're easy on the eyes and they make dreams come true; especially mine," G Flip said of the collaboration.

This second G Flip x Crocs collaboration drop features a white Classic Clog covered in G Flip's iconic "Jeromo" logo and rocks a double strap,making it sporty while offering additional support and comfort. The killer Jibbitz™charms that adorn each pair were designed to represent little pieces of G Flip's life - a rainbow which speaks back to the rainbow community,a crown representing their anthemic single "Queen","Party?" which is their favourite tattoo,Denise the sassy llama,and the logo for their hugely popular single,"Hyperfine".

The collaboration will be sold at Platypus Australia,the go-to destination for youth footwear. This drop marks the first of many capsules that will be available for Platypus consumers as they are announced as an authorized local Crocs retailer.
