A Closer Look: Bodega x Crocs All-Terrain "NICT-TECH" Clog
With the desire to push the envelope further, if stock Crocs get you up and down the local trail and grocery aisles, we wanted to take things Richard Proenneke.
In the pursuit of the perfect ATV for your feet, balancing the tech specs to help you arrive in one piece with the style that will convince you to put the damn things on in the first place can be quite the challenge. But when you get it right, the results hiss for themselves - or whatever noise crocodiles make.
With the Bodega X Crocs All-Terrain "NICT-TECH" Clog, we bring the bark to the backwoods to create a convertible option from the kings of Croslite™.
Positioning Crocs as an off-road option when the day takes you off the beaten path, the All-Terrain Clog, with its hearty lug sole, quickly became the starting point for our latest adventure. Giving your feet grip and support to explore terrains often out-of-bounds in the world of rubber slip-ons, the AT Clog has been planting flags wherever it goes.
But with the desire to push the envelope even further, if the stock pair is getting you up and down the local trail and grocery aisles, we wanted to take things Richard Proenneke.
And it all starts with our NICT-TECH Conversion Kit which lays atop the clog like a Big Block Chevy in a hotrod. When sprawled out in all its glory, the NICT-TECH hood becomes a tent for your feet, covering the toe box for some insulation and protection against the elements should things get choppy. However, when the sun is shining and ventilation is key, it’s time to tuck ‘n roll with the NICT-TECH Pouch featuring a zip pocket with cord pull and our woven Horizon logo, serving as the perfect receptacle.
And when you do peel back the protective purple tarp you’ll uncover an ecosystem of moss-covered tree bark which raises the stakes in the real-tree conversation. With its uncanny likeness to the real deal, don’t worry, we tried to pick some off too - it ain’t budging. Adding an entire terrarium’s worth of virtual texture and hues, they work in perfect harmony on the forest floor and pack a chaotic punch in city streets.
Supported by earth-inspired accents on the outsole which give the outer profile added depth, our Crocs are fitted with adjustable Velcro straps and a cushioned heel cup - the only seatbelt and roll cage you need on this wild ride. IIHS rating pending.
But say you want to really be one with nature and forget all the new-fangled hi-tech double talk – no problem, do some quick unsnapping and unlatching and you’ll be au naturale in no time.
Closed out with a collaborative ankle plate to let you know Crocs' mascot Duke approves, slip them on, fasten them up, roll the top, and pave the way.
