Shrek is a 2001 animated comedy film about the titular character, starring Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. The movie's critical and commercial success earned it several awards, with three sequels and two spin-off films released over the years.

According to Complex Pop, the Shrek-inspired Crocs feature a bright green color body with a speckled texture resembling that of the namesake ogre's skin tone. A fuzzy brown strap is a nod to his attire in the movie.
Crocs allow for special charms called Jibbitz that can be added to the footwear to accessorize them and create a unique look. The Shrek-themed Classic Clogs would have special Jibbitz in the form of the ogre's facial features like a nose and ears.

In the renderings of the shoe, a special "S" logo with ears is seen in place of the usual Crocs loco at the hinges of the clog. The Shrek branding is also seen on the footbed of the sandal.

Needless to say, the news took netizens by surprise and they took to social media to react to the collaboration. Some even started calling the new footwear "Shrocs," therefore merging the names of the two collaborators.
