This season, Gvasalia and Crocs have elevated what he considers “the most comfortable shoe in the world” in a different way. Instead of stacking the shoes on multiple layers of rubber soles, the “Balenciaga Crocs 2.0” shoe stands on a narrow black heel like a pointed heel. The collaboration also includes a pair of knee-high rain boots, and both styles are available in bright black, gray and green colors, marked with the “Balenciaga” branding. These boots feature Crocs’ signature perforations near the toe and call back to the original collab with a ribbed sole. While the high heels are causing some users on social media to scratch their heads (can they even walk?), many people enjoy the rough rubber boots. Notably, Christopher Kane was the first designer to bravely bring crocs to the catwalk in 2017. Since the Balenciaga and Croc collaboration, this controversial sandal has been listed by Time magazine as “50” world’s worst invention” in 2010, has proven itself to haters through other successful collaborations. Crocs collaborated with streetwear designers Chinatown Market, Nicole McLaughlin, Justin Beiber’s Drew House, as well as musicians such as Bad Bunny, Diplo and Post Malone, all of which used the shape and texture of the shoe. as a building block for expansion. And if that wasn’t enough of an impact for Crocs, Nicki Minaj recently posted an Instagram photo wearing pink Crocs adorned with gems, adorned with glittering Jibbits and Chanels, making the business pop up. 4,900% spike in sales in the pink way. Balenciaga is known for its ugly utopian shoes, from the Triple S sneakers in 2017 that kicked off the era of the classic-inspired “dad sneaker” to the line of sneakers with Vibram for FW20 of sock sneakers and heels with a split toe. Breaking free from the desire to dress comfortably during social distancing and back into the busy and glamorous world, the crocs and heels hybrid can really make some points. Who knows, they might be the most comfortable heels in the world.
