Japan's BEAMS x Crocs Turn the Sukajan and MA-1 Into Clogs, Out Nov. 13 in Tokyo
BEAMS, marking its 50th year, teams with Crocs on two clogs modeled on the sukajan and the MA-1 jacket. They debut Nov. 13 at BEAMS JAPAN Shinjuku, priced at ¥15,400 and ¥16,500, with wider release following.
BEAMS, the Japanese retailer celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, has made two new clogs with Crocs, each modeled on a classic piece of American casual outerwear: the sukajan souvenir jacket and the MA-1 flight jacket. The release is a Tokyo-led launch, and no New York sales are listed.
The sukajan version uses the Classic Crafted Clog in black, priced at ¥15,400. Its quilted upper carries asymmetrically placed embroidery of a maiko, Mount Fuji and a map of Japan, along with piping and materials meant to echo a vintage souvenir jacket.
The MA-1 version is the Classic EXP Clog in olive, at ¥16,500. It is built on khaki nylon and reproduces the jacket's cigarette pocket, zip and snap buttons. The lining and heel strap use rescue orange, the color long associated with the MA-1. Both models come in sizes 23 to 30 cm, with prices including tax.
Sales begin Nov. 13 with an early release at BEAMS JAPAN Shinjuku. On Nov. 14, the clogs go on sale at BEAMS JAPAN Shibuya, BEAMS JAPAN Kyoto, other stores carrying the BEAMS label (some regions excluded) and the BEAMS online store. The Crocs online store in Japan follows on Nov. 19.
A reception party runs from 7 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 13 at BEAMS JAPAN Shinjuku, 3-32-6 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. The store can be reached at 03-5368-7300.
