Balenciaga Items That Are And Aren't Worth The Money

Like them or not, Crocs aren't going anywhere soon. The perforated clogs hit the market in 2002, and they've been fluctuating throughout the trend charts ever since. Celebrities like Dylan Sprouse, Brie Larson, and Justin Bieber have all been spotted in Crocs, proving that the fashion-controversial shoe is here to stay.

In fall 2018, Balenciaga released its first partnership with Crocs. Since then, the fashion house has been releasing its own luxury take on the rubber shoe, converting them into boots, heels, and "HardCrocs." Constructed with rubber and featuring a 10-millimeter arch, as well as a 110-millimeter silver-studded platform, the HardCroc pays homage to its predecessors yet shines as something all its own. The Balenciaga logo is debossed on both the strap and silver studs, and in a sleek black color raised on platforms, the HardCrocs are the most stylish of their Crocs counterparts.

The unusual shoe was an immediate hit, reportedly selling out in minutes and before its official launch. Yes, they retail for $1,050, but they're worth it if you're a fan of comfy shoes and that coveted designer label.
