Swarovski® x Crocs Classic Platform Clog Capsule Releases May 6

Crocs might've gained mainstream popularity via a healthy mix of its divisive footwear in simple and playful styles, but the Colorado-based institution has showcased how seriously it should be taken over the last five years. Concerted efforts to employ some of the industry's most-respected designers have helped it produce more innovative products, while collaborations with storied brands like Swarovski® have brought about high-fashion's attention.

Today, the experts in comfort announced a multi-piece collection with the Austrian imprint. Special Jibbitz™ charms are expected to drop as part of the linkup, but the stars of the range are crystal-covered pairs of the Classic Clog and Classic Platform Clog. The former opts for an off white finish that allows for the Swarovski® touch to revel in the spotlight: dozens of crystals appear across the reworked forefoot, which seemingly draws inspiration from nature. The non-standard build injects a more rugged look into the slip-resistant slip-on. Crocodile motifs on the heel strap's hinges are replaced with bulbous crystals, with the strap's rear area donning an elevated Crocs logo.

By comparison, the Classic Platform Clog opts for an understated black color scheme that plays well with the handfuls of Swarovski® crystals across the upper. Its exaggerated sole unit works well with the layered Croslite™ shroud. Flower-shaped charms demand attention with their size and quantity of light-shifting crystals. The heel strap also opts for a robust set of attachments, further elevating the laceless silhouette.
