Brand forays into apparel segment
Delhi, September 22, 2014 – Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX), leading provider of innovative casual footwear, announces the launch of kids apparel in India.

The collection like our footwear is stylish yet very comfortable, something that is a pre-requisite in kids apparel. Going forward we hope to build this category while maintaining our excellence in the footwear category.”
As a responsible brand that wants to give back to the communities it operates in, Crocs has consistently donated shoes to people in need around the world.
