Balenciaga and Crocs announces new collaboration

It is unclear how much the shoes, which will be released in 2022, will cost, however, a previous Balenciaga and Crocs collaborations set shoppers back £600, rather than the £39.99 a regular pair of Crocs usually costs.  

They were met with mixed reactions online where some online users said the shoes were painful' and unnecessary, and others said they couldn't wait to get their toes on a pair.   

The 'Balenciaga Crocs 2.0' were announced on Sunday, to be released next year, and their price is still to be confirmed. 

They are available in a range of colours. The same collection also includes rain boots with a platform sole, for those seeking something a bit more sturdy.  

Online, people had mixed feelings about the novelty shoes, and many were not convinced by the collaboration. 

I mean... wtf Balenciaga and Crocs are thinking they are doing with this, one person wrote.

However, while many people were baffled by the design, some users are already wondering how to get their hands on a pair.

I need those croc heels ASAP, one person said.

Anyone with information on how to get the Balenciaga crocs will be rewarded handsomely, another person wrote.

This is not the first time Balenciaga and Crocs have collaborated.

In 2017, Demna Gvasalia and Christopher Kane even called the brand's iconic footwear the 'world’s comfiest shoes'.

We were inspired by Crocs and we worked with them on a Balenciaga reinterpretation, Demna told French Vogue in 2017.

Balenciaga x Crocs isn’t impossible, the question of taste is a very subjective value. We’ll see if this works in six months’ time in the stores.
