The Batman x Crocs Classic Clog channels this legendary design with glossy black accents and intricate details that mirror the Batmobile’s turbine engines and armor plating. The clog even features a rear spoiler mimicking the Batmobile’s tail fins and a Bat-Signal charm on the upper, symbolizing Batman’s watchful presence over Gotham.
