Once upon a time in the world of fashion there were two major no-nos: Crocs and fanny packs. But now there’s Crocs WITH fanny packs! Maria Mercedes Galuppo, has this fashionable report.
It’s doubtful anyone was asking for Crocs with a fanny pack attached, yet those very shoes are one of the latest releases from the maker of foam clogs.
The fanny-pack Crocs have been picking up bemused coverage from a variety of news outlets, mostly because of their absurdity. Fanny packs, despite the fashionable makeovers some have gotten in the past few years, aren’t generally known for being stylish. The same goes for Crocs. Put the two together and they become exponentially more terrifying.
Improbable as it may seem, however, the shoes are part of a strategy that has been working for Crocs. They’re part of a collaboration with the popular and influential Japanese retailer Beams, where they’re selling for 5,940 Japanese yen (about $53), and just one of several recent partnerships the brand has been involved with. Over the past few years, Crocs has teamed up to make footwear with partners that include fashion labels Christopher Kane and Balenciaga, rapper Post Malone, and small streetwear labels such as Alife, Pleasures, and Chinatown Market.
