Simone Rocha, oh you cheeky minx.
Stars like Michelle Yeoh, Julia Fox, and Rihanna wear the Irish designer’s whimsical shoe styles for everything from red carpets to their daily errand runs, proving they’re the sartorial cherry on top of any outfit.
And today, Rocha dropped another collaboration with the most comfortable clog brand on the market: Crocs. The ballet-obsessed designer has (yet again) artfully combined fashion and function — and as a major fan of both brands, I can confirm the newest installment is just as satisfying as, if not more than, the ghosts of Simone Rocha x Crocs past.
When I say these are the most comfortably stylish shoes you’ll ever wear, not only am I speaking from experience, I mean it with my whole chest (and wardrobe). I currently own seven pairs and will be buying (at least) two more pairs from the new line.
I love that Crocs’ unique designer collabs offer shoppers the ability to own a high-end designer item at a more accessible price. But nothing about these two new Crocs — the Ballerina Platform and Soho Sandal — is ordinary.
Both come in multiple colorways and feature custom ribbons and jibbitz that are not only pre-curated, but also adhered in a floral cut-out style that’s unique to the new drop.
Personally, I love the platforms since they make stomping through the city feel elegant and intentional.
But they’re not just for subway trips. Michelle Yeoh made headlines last year when she wore the Simone Rocha x Croc Siren Heels on the red carpet. She paired a pantsless look with an oversized blazer — letting the shoes truly shine for themselves and asking the big question, Are Crocs allowed on the red carpet?
I myself love wearing the styles with similarly leggy looks during the hotter months, so it’s safe to say Crocs heels are double Michelle-approved.
While we can’t guarantee you’ll be papped while wearing these, I can assure you from experience that your coworkers and friends will flood you with compliments.
