episode of Thrilling Tales of Modern CapitalismWhen Vincenzo Ravina was a teenager, he created a website so powerful and polarizing that it got international media attention:. This was around 2005, 2006. Ravina recalls: “The first time I saw them, I was with my friend, Matt, and we turned to each other and we were like, ‘What are those? They’re hideous.’ ”
Robin Givhan, the Pulitzer Prize–winning fashion critic for the Washington Post, has been documenting the Crocs phenomenon for more than a decade—ever since she “I was not all that surprised because the Balenciaga designer has always been really fascinated by the idea of these things that are out there in the marketplace that are in fact really practical and also comfortable, but are not perceived as valuable,” Givhan says. “I think for Crocs, it just further injected them into a contemporary conversation as something that was more than just a $30 pair of shoes that you pick up at a hardware store or something.
Love my Crocs but I'm a 'seasoned citizen' so my endorsement may not mean much. I confess to having a dozen pairs. My favorites are the slides for hot days and the fur lined Crocs for colder temps.
Was there a time when they weren’t? I’ve had mine for 12 years and wouldn’t trade them for anything!
