Crocs and Little Big teamed up to create a collection of punk-themed footwear in black and hot pink colors that are adorned with spikes, chains and safety pins. Although fans are used to seeing Crocs outfitted with various charms, this collaboration sets itself apart with much edgier styling than usual. The collaboration with the Russian punk-rave band may seem unusual but it fits right in with Crocs' latest partnerships that have introduced heeled clogs and colorways inspired by popular condiments.
Fans are able to mix and match their favorite Jibbitz charms to personalize the styles and the heel spikes are permanent fixtures, as is the scrawling text on the side of the shoes that spells out "Antipositive" in writing that looks handwritten.
