Crocs and Grammy-winning rapper T-Pain have joined forces to release the Classic Unfurgettable Leopard Knee High Boot.
Unveiled as part of the brand’s annual Croctober celebration, the launch has quickly sparked global attention and style conversation.
T-PAIN AND CROCS ‘BOOTS WITH THE FUR’
Standing at an eye-catching 90 cm, the new boot is officially Crocs’ tallest design ever, according to Hype Beast.
It’s built upon the brand’s classic platform base and finished with plush, vegan faux fur in a bold black-and-leopard combination.
Retailing at about R2,950, the design playfully nods to T-Pain’s legendary lyric from his 2007 chart-topper. It’s a nostalgic touch that makes this partnership as fun as it is fashionable.
T-PAIN FT FLO RIDA
T-Pain’s hit track Low, featuring Flo Rida, remains a timeless favourite in South Africa nearly two decades after its release. This is all thanks to its infectious beat and unforgettable “boots with the fur” lyric.
Even today, it enjoys a nostalgic revival at parties, music festivals, and on local streaming charts. It cements T-Pain’s cultural relevance.
South African fans can instantly recognise and connect the new leopard knee-high boots to the iconic lyric they’ve been singing along to for years.
CREATIVITY AND COMMUNITY
Fans voted for the boot through Crocs’ 2025 Croctober campaign, proving the brand’s commitment to creativity and community engagement.
The high-rise silhouette arrives loaded with charms, metallic chains, and oversized embellishments, according to House Of Heat.
T-PAIN AND STREETWEAR
T-Pain’s Crocs collaboration aligns perfectly with the local love for expressive, comfortable footwear. Over the past few years, Crocs have surged in popularity across cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town.
This is where streetwear enthusiasts have embraced the brand’s fun, customisable aesthetic.
The new ‘Boots With the Fur’ drop could easily become a winter or festival staple, perfect for music lovers heading to AfroPunk Joburg or Rocking the Daisies.
While it may debut in the US, South Africans can expect the bold design to appear soon through local resellers and global shipping options.
