The fashion world can be a mystery to those of us who travel outside it. Most of the world is happy to partake in simple comforts and styles, while the world of clothing design pushes boundaries and creates concepts we could never dream of.
Clearly, some are more bizarre than others, and this is perfectly encapsulated by the latest partnership between Balenciaga and Crocs.
Not only are the standard version riding out a wave of popularity, but in the past, they've also taken part in a number of designer collaborations
Balenciaga's Spring 2022 collection, titled Clones, features two new versions of the standard Croc. There's a platform rainboot and a stiletto heel, both in green, grey, and black colorways.
In 2017, regarding the company's first foray into Crocs fashion, Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia told Vogue France "I wore Crocs this summer to see how I felt about them and they are the world’s comfiest shoes! [...] At the end of the day, fashion is all about having fun," so it's no shock he wished to work with them a second time.
With alternative, designer Croc styles being so popular, there's no doubt that more are on their way, with this designer here already trying to get ahead of the curve.
However people choose to style these, I'm certainly looking forward to it, as is the rest of the fashion world, I'm sure of it.
