For its latest iteration of the Classic Clog, Crocs took inspiration from Mexican painter Frida Kahlo.
The late artist has become one of the most well-known artists of the 20th century. Her famous paintings, like “The Two Fridas,” are now admired and recognized as a testament to her self-confidence and empowerment. Inspired by her creativity, the casual footwear brand reimagined the Classic Clog in an artistic style to celebrate the late Mexican painter.
The iconic slip-on set takes on a Croslite foam construction, dressed in a floral red upper. Along with an embellishment along the pivoting heel strap, the graphic print is inspired by Kahlo’s artwork. The pair’s beige sole is accompanied by cursive lettering on the heel, reading Frida Kahlo in between floral graphics.
The set is completed with a co-branded logo against the sole and a pair of custom Jibbitz charms with the artist set in the middle of the sun and western plants. The new silhouette retails for $69.99.
Crocs is constantly reinterpreting its Classic Clog to allow customers to represent their favorite brands. The simple set allowed for many partnerships with a variety of companies from fast food chains like Kentucky Fried Chicken to high-end labels including Balenciaga. Each brand creates a unique design involving endless color and texture options that truly represent their signature aesthetic.
Since the beginning of this year, the casual footwear brand has already released a few collaborations, including a two-piece collection inspired by the Japanese anime series “Naruto.” The franchise partnered with the brand on two colorways, which included silver metal plating along the shoe’s front. The detailing on the sets are meant to mimic Naruto’s and Kakashi’s everyday outfits in the show.
The Frida Kahlo Classic Clog is now available on the brand’s website and in select stores worldwide.
