# User-Designed Edgy Clog Designs The Goth Crocs by @garbage_b0y are Gaining Viral Attention By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-04-01 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goth-crocs References: [designtaxi](https://designtaxi.com/news/404084/Ridiculous-Goth-Crocs-Are-Here-To-Unleash-The-Emo-Loser-In-You/) & [etsy](https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/693360401/goth-crocs) A spiky pair of goth Crocs have been circulating social media platforms. The footwear silhouette has been developed by [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-24-boot) user @garbage_b0y and is made available in two variations. The one with a chain retails for £206.48, while the one without is a little bit more affordable at £190.60. The craze around the goth Crocs can be tied to comedic effect. It is incredibly entertaining to witness something as absurd as the clog's silhouette, infused with a [punk edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-beams-collection). The juxtaposition completely overwhelms the design, creating a huge rift between message and medium. That is, while the style of the goth Crocs communicates a dark theme, the intent is completely overpowered by the footwear's design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Goth Crocs:** Opportunity to tap into the niche market of alternative footwear by expanding the range of goth-inspired Crocs. - **User-designed Footwear:** Disruptive innovation potential in allowing consumers to customize and create their own unique designs within the footwear industry. - **Absurd Fashion:** Potential for disruptive innovation by embracing the trend of combining different styles and creating unconventional fashion statements. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Opportunity for footwear manufacturers to explore alternative designs and cater to niche markets. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can tap into the trend of unconventional designs and cater to consumers seeking unique fashion statements. - **Social Media:** Opportunity for social media platforms to capitalize on user-generated fashion trends and create interactive design experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror Clown Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-clog-pennywise.md) - [Tasselled Chain Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-pop-mart-skullpanda.md) - [Collaborative Statement Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystalstudded-clogs.md) - [Punk Rock-Themed Hardware Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-clogs-1.md) - [Rebellious Clog Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-paul-gaultier-x-crocs.md) - [Urban Exploration Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-x-crocs.md) - [Graffiti Clog Collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slawn-crocs-classic-clog.md) - [Dystopian Series Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-squid-game.md) - [Stylish Platform Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog.md)
