adult Athens flip-flop to children. The Kids Athens will come in six fun
color combinations and will be available in children's sizes (12-3). The
shoes will be available at retailers in March 2006.
CROCS' expanded color offerings include two metallic shades, gold and
silver, as well as turquoise. The new metallic colors will be seen across
four CROCS shoe models and will be available at select retailers in Summer
2006.

enhance our current line-up and offer shoes perfect for savvy trendsetters and
children on the go," said Ron Snyder, CEO of CROCS Footwear. "We remain
committed to comfort and function with these new models, which both feature
