Balenciaga Made $700 Toes-y "Crocs" Without Crocs
Forget being nosey. Balenciaga is out here being toes-y again with its newest summer shoe. Make way for the Balenciaga "Crocs" mules.
Balenciaga's "Crocs" mules — they're actually called the Sunday Molded Mule — takes on the shape of Crocs Classic Clogs (ankle-supporting back strap included).
Balenciaga's foam slip-on ditches Crocs' traditional airy holes for a literal toe box set-up...with toe shapes carved into the tippy top of the shoe.
Surprisingly, the Sunday Mule isn't Balenciaga again in cahoots with Crocs. There are no signs of Crocs branding or any mention of the foam shoe brand under the Sunday Mule's product description. Oh yeah, the Balenciaga mules are currently available on Balenciaga's website for $695 as we speak.
It's also worth mentioning that Balenciaga dabbled in toe-shoe territory previously, resulting in the Parisian house's "Birks," basically Birkenstock Boston clogs without Birkenstock.
The Balenci-stock shoe's name, you may ask? The Sunday Mule.
Balenciaga and Crocs have previously worked together for fluffy clogs and hardcore metal-equipped stompers. But Balenciaga's latest Sunday Molded Mule follows a similar bootleg (and toes-y) concept to its "Birks," coming as a Croc sans the foam shoe brand's presence.
Nonetheless, Balenciaga's "Crocs" Sunday Mules have arrived for the Balenciaga citizens looking to dive into summer toes first.
