Puffy Minimalist Slip-On Sneakers

The Dingyun Zhang x Crocs Diffuser is Arriving This Season

The Dingyun Zhang x Crocs Diffuser has been created by the China-based designers in collaboration with the footwear brand as a style that prioritizes a sense of fashionable comfort. The footwear model maintains the appearance of an aerodynamic sports car and is accented with a series of holes over the upper portion as a nod to the classic Crocs clogs. The puffy footwear style is paired with a strap-like structure over the midfoot and heel, while the lofty profile gives the wearer an almost otherworldly appearance.

The Dingyun Zhang x Crocs Diffuser is observed in all-black and all-white color options, which are each slated to launch via both the designer's website and Crocs' website for $85 starting December 12, 2024.
