Crocs Tries on Shirts to Match Shoes(Aug. 27) - Crocs Inc., the maker of brightly hued, plastic clogs, plans a surprising twist in its bid to diversify its products and avoid fad status: a line of apparel for men and children.
The apparel line, which Crocs intends to unveil today, will feature regular fibers, such as cotton, interwoven with a lightweight derivative of the pliable, plastic resin used to make Crocs' shoes. It will make its debut in stores in October.

A men's long-sleeved shirt from the new Crocs collection. The apparel line marks the latest phase of Crocs' effort to broaden its range of products after its fortunes skyrocketed on the popularity of its odd-looking, water-resistant shoes, which many wearers find comfortable. Launched in 1999, Crocs, Niwot, Colo., posted revenue of $24,000 in 2002, made its debut as a public company in February 2006 and expects revenue this year of $810 million to $820 million.

In turn, Crocs' stock has surged 462% since its debut at a split-adjusted $10.50. The stock gained $2.30, or 4.1%, on Friday to close at $58.99 in trading on the Nasdaq National Stock Market.

Some investors, however, are betting that Crocs will fade when the popularity of its shoes wanes. As of July 13, nearly 26% of Crocs' outstanding shares were sold short, as those investors hope to profit from a decline in the stock. Investors who "short" shares borrow them and sell them, betting the price will fall and they will be able to buy the shares back later at a lower price.

The collection also includes short-sleeved shirts and children's clothing. Also stirring concerns about whether the stock will continue to rise are stock sales by Crocs executives and directors. Crocs insiders have reaped profit of $349.2 million -- including $124.1 million in the case of Chief Executive Officer Ron Snyder -- through selling their Crocs stock in the initial public offering and the 18 months since, according to Thomson Financial. The company has attributed the sales to executives diversifying their holding
To avoid the fad label, Crocs has introduced dozens of new models of its shoes, including a line of women's fashion boots. It has cinched licensing deals to adorn its shoes with logos of professional sports teams and Walt Disney Co. characters. It also has purchased footwear companies such as sandal maker Ocean Minded.

Crocs has dabbled in selling T-shirts adorned with its logo, but the new apparel line represents the company's first significant foray outside footwear and related accessories. Other shoe companies, notably Nike Inc., have made the transition successfully, while still others, such as Timberland Co., haven't fared as well. "Apparel is a little trickier in some ways, because you have to be quicker to adapt to changing trends," said Jeff Mintz, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities in Los Angeles.
