The use of the rainbow-colored crystals is a nod to the designer's signature use of color to signify joy, hope, inclusivity and kindness. While one of the [chunky all-black clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog) features a faux fur trim and an eagle head charm, the second design features a thicker sole than the average pair of Crocs.
