Sneakerheads gradually turning to the Crocs trend

Sneakerheads gradually turning to the Crocs trend

Crocs, New Balance, and Puma accounted for four "high-heat" sneaker drops in December, Nikic estimates. Crocs, As an example, released a new collection with American music artist SZA. 

The Crocs brand has become synonymous with comfort, like Yeezy, and has previously released successful collaborations with both Bad Bunny and designer Salehe Bembury.

"Smaller brands such as Puma, New Balance, and Crocs all generated some sneakerhead 'buzz,' likely aided by the lack of Yeezy, which freed up wallet share among sneakerheads," Wedbush senior equity research analyst Tom Nikic said in his latest "Just Kickin' It" report.

According to a report by Business Insider, the combined output for Crocs, New Balance, and Puma helped fill the gap left by Adidas, which released only four hyped shoes in 2022, compared to 11 last year.

Adidas have already stated its intentions to sell Yeezy silhouettes without the Yeezy branding in early 2023.
