Crocs has just announced their newest collaboration with renowned French designer Jean Paul Gaultier. The Crocs x Jean Paul Gaultier collection is part of Crocs’ mission to move beyond utilitarian to high fashion. This season they’ve created capsule collections with Simone Rocha and Balenciaga, and their most recent collaboration includes three styles that are a perfect fusion of fashion and function.
First, there’s a Classic Clog that’s been clad in black faux leather with an oversized safety pin, customized with the “Gaultier” logo. The Bae Clog is a bit more on the shocking side with wavy textile paneling, sneaker-like lacing system and a chunky platform sole that’s finished with a midfoot buckle. Finally, a new clog design is included in the collaboration. This one is finished with an elaborate black and white paisley pattern accented with off-white trim. It’s a direct callback to Gaultier’s own personal brand of embellishment.
With Gaultier’s signature boldness and Crocs’ deconstructionist vision, this collection is as unexpected as it is comfortable.
You can expect the collection to launch soon via Crocs.com, JeanPaulGaultier.com and select retailers worldwide.
