PLEASURES and [Crocs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palace-and-crocs) work in collaboration on the latest iteration of the footwear label's signature foam-clog silhouette. The special edition collaborative design draws inspiration from [punk and metal influences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-x-pleasures) translated through the form of a skeletal foot graphic design. The graphic serves as the dominant design that adorns the shoe's uppers on top of the [perforated details](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stomp-clog). The collaborative shoe model boasts a black tonal finish contrasted by the white graphic design and branding detail.

The white printed PLEASURES' branding details are seen over the Crocs embossed accent over the frontal area of the sandal strap enclosure. The latest PLEASURES and Crocs skeletal collaborative shoe is set to drop next year online and in store locations
