Name: Space Jam x Crocs Classic Clog “Tune Squad”
Colorway: Multi
SKU: 214509-90H
MSRP: $70 USD
Release Date: November 9
Where to Buy: Crocs

Crocs is bringing the Tune Squad back to the court with the Space Jam x Crocs Classic Clog “Tune Squad,” a jersey-inspired take on its signature silhouette. The release arrives three decades after Space Jam first hit theaters in 1996, and it’s set to come in both adult and kids’ sizing.

The design starts with the uniforms Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes wore in the film’s climactic game against the Monstars. Those kits were mostly white with red and blue accents, and Crocs follows the same proportions. The clog’s body stays white, while the team colors appear on the trim around the foot opening and along the heel strap.

The forefoot carries the most visual weight. Each shoe gets an oversized Tune Squad logo Jibbitz charm that covers much of the toe box, putting the team’s recognizable lettering front and center. Crocs keeps the cast of characters off the upper entirely, so the wordmark carries the theme the way a jersey crest would.

The footbeds hold the other main detail. Original Space Jam logos are printed inside each clog, carrying the film’s branding onto the part of the shoe usually reserved for comfort features. With the jersey colors outside and the movie logos inside, every element ties back to the film rather than to any single character.

That restraint suits a film whose influence on basketball culture goes beyond its plot. Jordan put Space Jam on screen alongside Bugs Bunny at the height of his fame, and its imagery has become a recurring point of reference in sneaker culture, most notably through the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam.” At its 30th anniversary, the Crocs version gives fans of the film a lower-key way to wear the Tune Squad colors than a full jersey.
