What To Know: HEYDUDE, which is owned by Crocs, announced a long-term global partnership with Sweeney, making her the spokesperson of the company. Crocs shares traded higher on the news and closed the day up more than 4%.

“It’s not every day that a generational talent and style icon also authentically lives your brand. So, asking Sydney to join us to expand the perception of what it means to be a Dude was something we had to do,” said Terence Reilly, president of HEYDUDE.
