NIWOT, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crocs, Inc. (NASDAQ: CROX) today announced a new golf line designed in partnership with internationally-recognized golf instructor Hank Haney. The Crocs Golf with Hank Haney collection will launch in the spring of 2012 and feature a number of men’s and women’s styles that can be worn both on and off the course.
The new collection strikes the perfect balance of utmost comfort for which Crocs shoes are known, with technical engineering for the casual golfer. Each of the four Crocs Golf with Hank Haney styles were designed with input from Haney based on his experience over the past 35 years instructing more than 200 touring professionals from the PGA, LPGA, Champions, European, Japanese, Australian and Asian tours.
Crocs Golf with Hank Haney provides an alternative to traditional golf shoes for the recreational player. All of the styles feature Croslite™ material midsoles that provide form-to-foot cushioning not found in any other golf shoe.
The new styles in the Crocs Golf with Hank Haney collection include:
- Men’s Preston (MSRP: $99.99, sizes M5 – M13). Featuring premium water-resistant leather upper and classic styling, this shoe offers players a lightweight design that increases flexibility.

- Men’s and Women’s Bradyn (MSRP: $99.99, sizes M5 – M13 and W4 – W11).

The women’s Braden will be available in White/Fuchsia, White/Turquoise and Electric Blue/White.
- Men’s Drayden (MSRP: $89.99, sizes M5 – M13) With a breathable CrosMesh™ upper, the Drayden allows for cooling ventilation on warm days, making it the perfect shoe for warm golf climates. The Drayden will be available in White/Parrot Green and White/Navy.

“I spend a lot of time in and around the golf course so functionality and comfort are extremely important to me,” said Haney. “Crocs listened to my input and suggestions, and I believe the Crocs Golf with Hank Haney collection provides golf fans with a complete golf shoe that combines style, performance, and all around comfort. From the range to the clubhouse, the collection features a variety of styles for both men and women.”
“The Crocs Golf collection is a natural brand extension for Crocs as it offers a casual alternative to the traditional golf shoe,” said Dale Bathum, senior vice president of product development for Crocs. “They still provide all of the same technical engineering, but with the comfort and innovative design consumers have come to expect from Crocs footwear. The launch of this new line continues to showcase the depth and breadth of our styles. Currently, we offer more than 250 styles of Crocs shoes, ranging from the original clog-style shoe to wedges, flats, boots and, now golf shoes.”
