Balenciaga's Platform Crocs USD850 - Sold out

OK, well that was fast. When designer Demna Gvasalia sent out Balenciaga’s quirky-cool streetwear take on Crocs (stretched to a sky-high length, saturated in sunny hues and bedecked in kitschy pins) on the spring ’18 runway last September, it was to the dismay of Serious Fashion People (aka people who take fashion very seriously) in the front row. But for street-style stars, it shed a new beautiful light on the “ugly” rubber style, signaling a new era in which Crocs were not just socially acceptable, but embraced.

Still, there might have been some reservations about whether Gvasalia’s influence could extend to footwear’s most controversial and divisive shoe. Some might have thought it impossible (this writer, included). But now, with absolute certainty, all those doubts can be laid to rest. This morning, Balenciaga’s $850 foam embellished platform Crocs were available for pre-order at Barneys in the tan and bubblegum-pink colorways. And by noon, all sizes in both hues were completely sold out.

Christopher Kane is making Crocs Fashionable

CROCS to be continue to rock on fashion runway by Christopher Kane Autumn/Winter 2017, London Fashion Week, showcase fake fur lined Crocs, the hard plastic shoes with a border of decorative fluffy fur, "Furry Crocs"

Last season, Christopher Kane shook the fashion industry to its core when he feature Crocs prominently on his Spring/Summer 2017 runway catwalk (at his 10th Anniversary Show)

In the Kane fashion runway, the models in his spring 2017 collection of mixed-media looks—from floral applique coats to lurex knitwear, and LBDs held together by chain links with a pair of jewel-encrusted Crocs. The rubber clog done in earthy tones and covered in geodes like Sodalite, Red Leopard, Malachite, Diaspro and Zebra Jasper.

These inspiration for the range included “an element of autobiography” and the World War II pamphlet titled “Make-Do and Mend,” which offered British women advice on staying stylish through wartime conditions. This combination resulted in fabrics culled from Kane’s archives, “Road Kill” furs, lots of lurex and also a brilliant use of cutouts that alluded to pulling a curtain aside to peer at the past.

But personally I love Christopher Kane x Crocs collaboration, it give Crocs's chance to step into fashion world.
