Crocs

Design

Baby blue CrocsCrocs, the gen z/ millennial equivalent of marmite, either you love them or hate them. The design of this object seems simple to me, the entire shoe is constructed from CrosliteTM, a resin material that makes you feel like you’re walking on clouds. Personally, crocs are extremely versatile, a few years back you could only get away with wearing them in the house, now that they’re a trending fashion item, you can feel free to wear them at home, to the shops, and even when out with friends without extensive judgment.

Functionality

The croc features a strap which can be moved to suit the position you desire, often referred to as casual mode and sports mode (perfect for driving in). The crocs also feature a number of holes around the front of the shoe, promoting breathability allowing the user to feel comfortable when wearing the shoe. The shape of the croc presents a wide and curvy aesthetic, an iconic design for the brand but more importantly it’s a design that offers good spacing, further making it a comfortable fit. Crocs are available in a wide range of colours and have been known to pick up collaborations with some of the most unexpected brands from McDonalds to Balenciaga.
