We could compare Crocs to the uncle of your grandfather’s cousin who, in spite of himself, made you die over and over again to skip the question in high school. In short, that relative who at the cat’s seven lives gives us a mustache. A distant relative, who cyclically, at the time of need we used for our immoral school purposes.
Resistant like few, the Crocs had their moment of glory a few years ago under the reluctant looks of those who judged them as nursing shoes …
Well dear grumblers reluctant to the most unique and rare design of the Crocs, with this article we will make you fall in love with what has been your worst enemy for years!
300 million items sold in fifteen years are a remarkable achievement for what are defined by many as the ugliest shoes in the world …
If you were conscious in the period between 2006 and 2012 it is useless to deny that you have not used, seen or worn them on others at least once. Don’t look for justifications because we know very well that you also wore them, even just to be at home or to go to the beach.
Well, at this point it is essential to know that those who thought that the era of super colored rubber slippers had ended will be surprised to know that the brand has put in place a very precise strategic plan, which is bringing the Crocs to the fore.
Just go back two years to New York Fashion Week 2018, where the fashion designer Christoper Kane presented his spring-summer collection.
“Domestic Services“, the title of the stylist’s line presented, surprised everyone with Crocs. Even the Paris Fashion Week left us speechless with the collaboration between the Crocs and, listen, listen … Balenciaga.
And if the words of the Demna Gvasalia designers are these: “It is a truly innovative shoe, it is light and is made with a single rubber cutout. For me, these types of techniques and materials are very Balenciaga ”dear Crocs haters, I really know that you no longer know what to do to attack these slippers.
It seems that the rebirth of Crocs is part of a more general trend: that of the “ugly” but comfortable. A trend that with Yeezy Foam Runners also becomes sustainable and in line with respect for our environment.
In fact, defining something simply as ugly I find it very limiting and reductive. It is known that, especially in the field of fashion, the ugly does not exist because it is highly subjective. It is the story behind a certain type of design that can justify our very personal opinion about a fashion object.
And if the history of the design of the Crocs also becomes sustainable then we cannot fail to take it into consideration. The YEEZY Foam Runners not only reflect the aesthetic lines of the famous rubber slippers, but also reflect the futuristic idea of creating a garment capable of respecting the environment and adapting to climate change.
The silhouette of his new adidas YEEZY Foam Runner, just like the aunts Crocs, has made practically everyone talk about himself, unleashing a real “odi et amo”.
There are those who find West’s idea a brilliant invention and those who instead consider it as yet another trick to bring attention back to the yeezy world, increasingly subject to criticism inherent in its monotony.
What is certain is that with this model made with a revolutionary material: a special foam obtained from algae, it is anything but banal and monotonous.
The release date of the adidas YEEZY Foam Runner has unfortunately not yet been decided, but is expected for this spring. Even a possible retail price remains unknown for now, although estimated at around € 75.
