The Beatles have joined up with Crocs to share two pairs of shoes inspired by the Yellow Submarine film.
Details of the new collaboration were shared on Instagram today (January 29), showing that two new pairs of Crocs have been developed in celebration of the iconic 1968 film, as well as a variety of Beatles-inspired Jibbitz.
The first takes on the design of the literal yellow submarine, with the main colour of the shoe taking on the same exterior design of the film’s namesake. A four-headed periscope extends out over the top as a Jibbitz charm, while propellers are attached to the heel.
Four windows are also included as buttons on the side, showing the iconic four members. “Yellow Submarine” is also written on the rivets in a more subtle design.
The second design hones in on a more abstract approach and, instead of replicating the submarine itself, captures the psychedelic nature of the film. A black sole is featured with grey outlines, while the top half is multi-coloured and sees some of the most iconic imagery from the movie.
Jibbitz include all four members, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison, in animated form, as well as the Teacup Monster, Fish With Arms, Dreadful Flying Glove and the Yellow Submarine.
“Join iconic global footwear brand, Crocs, to celebrate the timeless magic of The Beatles with an exclusive collection of duo classic clogs inspired by the renowned Yellow Submarine film,” reads a press description.
”For the love of shoes, style, and song, Crocs is giving music lovers and fans of the brands two unique styles showcasing a limited-edition groovy design and an elevated JibbitzTM charms pack made for self-expression.”
Each pair of Crocs costs £69.99, and the packs of Jibbitz range from £4.99 to £16.99. Visit here to find out more.
This is far from the first time that the iconic Liverpool band have teamed up with a fashion brand to share some Beatles-inspired merchandise. Last month it was shared that a Christmas jumper and knitwear collection had been launched to celebrate the release of the Beatles ’64 documentary.
In other news, Paul McCartney last month teased that he hoped to finish a new solo album in 2025.
“I’ve been working on a lot of songs, and have had to put it to the side because of the tour,” he explained. “So, I’m hoping to get back into that and finish up a lot of these songs. So, how’s about that? ‘My New Year’s resolution is to finish a new album!’”
He has also been looking back at his projects outside of The Beatles, recently releasing both a reissue of Wings‘ classic album ‘Venus And Mars’ to mark its 50th anniversary and the theatrical release of the film One Hand Clapping and its accompanying 1974 live-in-studio album last year.
