SANKUANZ & Crocs teamed up to reimagine the classic Crocs silhouette with a fresh new shoe-in-shoe design that's extra chunky thanks to a detachable padded protector. The classic shoe is secured in place with a pair of straps, which leave room for details like the ventilation holes or Jibbitz charms to peek through. These unique Crocs, and their shells, can be found through Foot Locker’s Greenhouse app in black, white and neon green. These shoes recall a sneaker protector style from SANKUANZ’s Fall 2018 runway show.
A comfortable and convenient slip-on shoe that was once so-called "ugly" has now become a fashion symbol thanks to collaborations like this one, and the many ways that the shoes can be styled and customized by individuals.
