Crosskix aims to rival Crocs

16/04/2013
Newly launched soft foam composite (EVA) brand Crosskix claims there is a void in this footwear category and hopes to become a rival to the most well known EVA brand, Crocs.

"We believe there's definitely a void in this category for a more sportier, stylish, and functional shoe," said Eric Saligumba, founder of Crosskix Footwear & Apparel Co. "Our goal was to design a shoe that everyone can proudly wear for multiple uses, and of course, look good while doing it."

Unlike other EVA shoes that are made with just one mold, Crosskix shoes are made with separate components. The company claims this allows the shoes to be more flexible, resulting in a fit and wear comparable to fabric-made sneakers. The shoes absorb impact, and have air and water drain holes.

The Oregon-based company has joined fundraiser site Kickstarter campaign, pre-selling its first designs to start production.
