Balenciaga's Platform Crocs

Looking at what is considered fashionable today, it is clear that trends always come back into style.

Always considered a divisive shoe, Crocs have officially come out on top and proven their place in the world of high-fashion - after Balenciaga’s $850 version of the shoe sold out before they were released.

Originally designed by Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga, the foam-platform shoes took centre stage when they were introduced on the runway.

And now it appears they will be showing up on feet everywhere this season.

However, apart from a 10cm platform addition, it would be easy to mistake the new outrageously expensive Crocs for the now-retro ones of our childhoods.

Having only gone up days ago for pre-order at Barneys New York for $850 USD, the platform Crocs in tan and pink have already sold out.
