Making an unlikely comeback last year, Crocs have again become a fashion controversy as popularity skyrocketed over lockdown and the second half of 2020. Last month, the US brand reported sales having risen by 64% in the first quarter of 2021 when compared with just last year.
Interestingly, Crocs have even been brought to the red carpet now, with the Oscars’ musical director Questlove wearing a pair that had been spray-painted gold for the occasion. The customisability of crocs has also been one of their selling points, with the Crocs Jibbitz™ now coming in a range of different styles. Although Crocs might not be everyone’s cup of tea, their comfort is indisputable which fits in perfectly with the emphasis on comfort over fashion that 2020 saw.
