Crocs & Jean Paul Gaultier Launch A Bold New Collaboration

Blending comfort and couture.

POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

Crocs just kicked down the runway door, and Jean Paul Gaultier handed them the key. This isn't irony or camp—it’s a dead-serious collision of comfort and couture. Announced July 31 in Berlin, the Crocs x Jean Paul Gaultier collab is giving fashion’s high priests something to sweat about. Bae Clogs are corseted, Classic Clogs are pierced, and the entire release reads like a wink to punks, drag queens, and Dimes Square girls alike. It's Crocs with an attitude, reinterpreted through Gaultier's fearless design legacy. And yes, it’s dropping August—but no, you don’t have all the details yet.

When Cone Bras Meet Clogs

The capsule reimagines Crocs' most iconic silhouettes through Gaultier’s most recognizable codes. The Bae Clog morphs into a wearable corset, echoing the designer’s signature cone bra from his Madonna era, now with platforms that stomp and slay. Meanwhile, the Classic Clog gets a post-punk treatment: silver safety pins, draped faux leather, and the kind of deconstructed tailoring usually reserved for Paris Fashion Week. The vibe? Genderfluid club kids meet orthopedic realness—basically, the mullet of shoes (party below, structure above).

Couture Is Dead, Long Live Comfort

This collab isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a referendum. On gatekeeping. On elitism. On what “fashion” is allowed to look like. Crocs x Jean Paul Gaultier doesn’t just blur lines—it blows them out entirely. For those who ever dared to ask, “What if my shoes were both comfy and runway-grade weird?”—your time has come.
