Crocs cleats are a thing.
At least footwear artist Sean Vergara made them a thing for Arizona Cardinals cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. for training camp.Vergara had mocked up a Crocs cleat weeks before Murphy reached out to talk about ideas for his annual custom footwear during camp. The two had worked together in the past, and when Murphy -- a self-proclaimed "Crocs guy" -- heard the idea, he was all in.
"Byron's just one of those dudes that could swag anything out," Vergara said. "Byron was the guy to pitch it to."
From there, the 26-year-old Vergara, who lives in Seattle, got to work.
He took a pair of Murphy's Nike cleats and started by dying the bottom yellow. Then he dyed the upper part of the cleat, which included the outer shell and the sock-like part where the foot goes in. The result was a school-bus yellow, which also happens to be similar to one of the Cardinals' colors.
