Collaboration will debut at Academy, giving customers first access to the customer-favorite style

KATY, Texas (September 29, 2026) –– Academy Sports + Outdoors (“Academy" or the "Company”) (Nasdaq: ASO) today announced its designation as the first retail partner to launch the new Crocs x Burlebo Classic Clog, giving customers access to the highly-anticipated collaboration. Beginning at 9 a.m. CT on Tuesday, September 29, customers can shop the shoe at all Academy stores and online at Academy.com.

The collaboration between Crocs and Burlebo pairs the comfort and versatility of Crocs’ signature Classic Clog with Burlebo’s recognizable outdoor-inspired Deer Camo print, delivering a unique blend of fun and functionality for both adults and kids.

“Our customers are passionate about outdoor-inspired products, and camo continues to be one of the most sought-after trends this season,” said Scott Day, Academy Vice President and Divisional Merchandise Manager. “We’re excited to see the new Crocs x Burlebo Classic Clog debut with Academy’s Always Game Families who trust us to deliver fresh styles each season.”

Burlebo first debuted at Academy in 2022 and has quickly become a customer-favorite brand, while Crocs has been a longstanding footwear partner – delivering fun seasonal prints, patterns and collaborations in addition to classic styles that customers know and love. The new Crocs x Burlebo Classic Clog brings the two brands together for the first time at Academy.

Academy will be the exclusive retail partner for 60 days following the launch, reinforcing its commitment to delivering meaningful assortments and brand partnerships that resonate with customers who embrace active, outdoor lifestyles.
