EF-Education, Rapha and Palace Skateboards collab to launch the funkiest Crocs you’ll ever see
The new kicks celebrate the Tour de France Femmes
For the first time since the ‘80s, women will also get to race on cycling’s biggest stage at the Tour de France Femmes. To celebrate this seminal occasion, Rapha partnered with Palace Skateboards to create a new limited-edition switch-out kit for the riders of the EF Education-TIBCO-SVB and EF Education-EasyPost teams as well as an extended range of casual wear.
Rest day or race day? It’s all a walk in the park when you’re wearing a limited edition kit from Palace Skateboards.
Stay tuned for the full on-and off-bike collection – available online and in selected clubhouses on 15th July.https://t.co/arvQLtgmxM#TourdeForce pic.twitter.com/nC2o58Nn2T

After 33 years, women are finally able to return to race and they are ready to show the world what it’s been missing. The new “off-bike” collection includes some funky Crocs, which will match perfectly with the Rapha and Palace Jibbits and a range of casual wear including short and long sleeve t-shirts, hoodie and a women’s cropped t-Shirt.
This isn’t the first time that EF is diving deep into the world of Crocs; Lachlan Morton wore the rubbery shoes when his feet got too sore during his Alt Tour de France in 2021. He rode each stage of the Tour daily, unassisted, as part of a fundraiser.
By the second week, Morton’s feet were so swollen he decided to chuck his cycling shoes and throw on some platform pedals and nifty Crocs.
Rapha and Palace EF Crocs features
