Following a successful soft launch, Crocs – one of the most instantly recognisable footwear brands on the planet – prepares to make a bold statement for the GRAND OPENING of its first-ever Urban Energy concept store in New York’s SoHo district on Friday.
Located at 543 Broadway, the space marks a new chapter for the brand in the US, blending global brand power with a one-of-a-kind in-store experience. With dual entrances on Broadway and Mercer Street and a footprint spanning 60 metres in length, it’s a statement landmark with a street-level edge – designed to match the pace and personality of the city itself.
This is more than a store – it’s a destination. Shoppers will discover the widest range of Crocs anywhere in the world, including new drops, New York-exclusive products, and the global debut of Crocs EXP – a premium, limited-edition product range featuring short-run silhouettes that sit at the intersection of technical innovation and trend-setting style. Visitors can personalise their Crocs on the spot, choosing from everyday icons through to gold-plated and diamond-set charms priced up to $850 each.
This is the first Crocs store to move beyond its traditional self-serve format, introducing a dedicated served area as part of a more premium, curated experience. The space also features a recycling drop-off for used Crocs, immersive brand storytelling throughout, and not one but two ‘Create Your Own’ Jibbitz bars. It’s a place to explore, express, and ‘Come As You Are’.
The concept has been brought to life by UK design studio Briggs Hillier, long-time creative partner to the brand and the team behind Crocs’ global retail concept. This Urban Energy format dials things up – bringing more theatre, more flexibility, and a sharper focus on the city-centre consumer experience.
With over 700 stores worldwide, Crocs is no stranger to global retail – but this store sets a new tone. It captures what makes the brand so magnetic today: bold self-expression, unexpected exclusivity, and a loyal global community that keeps growing.
GRAND OPENING: 1 August 2025. See you in SoHo.
