Global leader in innovative casual footwear launches first sneaker style. As millions of parents across the country prepare for the back to school, Crocs, Inc. introduces a new kid`s collection of colorful, playground-friendly and classroom-ready styles that meet school requirements.

Crocs debuts first sneaker just in time for back to school

This collection includes Crocs` first sneaker, the Crocband Sneak, as well as flats, slip-ons and lined boots for boys and girls.

Each new style protects children`s feet with a fully enclosed design, matched with snuggly soft, lightweight, odor resistant and their easy-to-clean proprietary Croslite material.

These new looks are available now at www.crocs.com and at select retailers nationwide.

"We take great pride in continually advancing the design of kid`s shoes for optimum support, comfort and of course, style," said Ken Chaplin, Vice President of Marketing.
