Crocs has been all over the headlines this year. From its Crocs Pollex collaboration with Salehe Bembury to the expansion of its world headquarters after its recent growth, the clog company has more lined up as the company looks to reach $5 billion in sales by 2026.

The Colorado-based company has recently acquired Hey Dude, a privately-owned footwear company. The $2.5 billion deal helps diversify the brand’s portfolio with the same goal in mind as Hey Dude is all about comfort, just like Crocs.

“We are thrilled to add another high-growth, highly profitable brand to our portfolio,” said Crocs CEO Andrew Rees in a statement to Footwear News. “We believe Hey Dude’s casual, comfortable, and lightweight products are aligned to long-term consumer trends and are a perfect fit for Crocs.”

Crocs hopes to turn Hey Dude into a $1 billion brand by 2024. In 2021, Hey Dude accumulated $570 million in revenue. If successful, Crocs would achieve its $5 billion in sales goal by 2026.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
