The Balenciaga Crocs 2.0 from the luxury fashion brand's spring 2022 collection are a crossover between popular Crocs and contemporary high heels. The crossover shoes are a daring foray into high fashion that combine trendy concepts with classy staples. The Balenciaga Crocs 2.0 retains most of the major elements of Crocs including the rubberized construction and iconic back band. The high heel portion is simple and robust with a single stiletto spire jutting from the center of the heel.
The Balenciaga Crocs 2.0 come in green, gray, and black colorways. Alongside the high heels, Balenciaga launched platform rainboot in the same monochromatic colorways. Both pieces of footwear bear the Balenciaga branding. The Balenciaga Crocs 2.0 are expected to be priced at almost $1,000 and will be released in 2022.
