“This is one of Crocs’ best collaborations yet,” say fashion sources. What can I say – quite a statement! Whether the denim crocs will become a real fashion hit remains to be seen, but we can already say that they’ve made quite the informational hype. The point, as it happens, is the unification of the incompatible: comfortable breathable sandals and “deaf” denim.
No matter how good the denim is, it still turns into torture in extreme heat, but crocs are just good in high temperatures. “Yes, these are potentially scary clogs,” concede the critics. However, both giant companies went ahead with the experiment. Why?
The last detail is a tribute to a new trend in the fashion world that fights for the economical use of resources and recycling. The sashiko technique originated historically as a way to insulate clothing by sewing several pieces of fabric together to make the material denser. In addition, each stitched pattern had its own meaning: some kind of symbol was “sewn” into the stitches.
This technique was also used by Nike at one time, thanks to the trend towards conscious production and consumption. Now it’s the turn of denim crocs, which will give the answer to sneakers. What do you think, would you wear it?
