existencePublication date, price & further information
Main features: This is a slipper-on gum pattern with a moving croc with continuous alife mark. The" Art" model has a detachable 3-D "Jibbitz" print, the" Sport" model has an integrated stocking and the grey" Classic" model only has an Alife-branded. The unimaginable is what NYC Alife has done by joining forces with high class educator Crocs on a group of the notorious Alife slippers.
Seen on its own, the movement seems outlandish, but with Balenciaga's recent collaborations with Crocs and Heron Preston and Jeremy Scott who design UGG', it seems chilly makes trying to fire up downdy ones, is the new norm. Alife x Crocs package consists of the basic model "Classic", which is available in the colours gray and sporty oversize Alife backing.
Second, from our point of view the most interesting, is a kind of pure whiteness with integrated blanket. Completed by the "Art" Croc, equipped with the detachable 3D-printed "Jibbitz" (the knick-knacks that the children put into the hole of a Croc uppers to personalize the shoe) of New York's most popular sights.
The cost of this release is $600. The Alife founders Rob Cristofaro explains the reasons for the "sport" Croc-with-a-sock: Even though slip-on boots have become a memento and a general purpose icon for fashionless boots, such as Shia LaBeouf, Balenciaga and now Alife Crocs have given an important signal. Is Crocs really in fashion?
This Crocs-with sock makes a case for the luxury cllog
The NYC street wear brand Alife gives the Gummi Club a fashionable touch. It' difficult to imagine a more split boot than the modest Croc. Sure, a group of niches of hip hopers, stylists and performers who dressed like Silver Lake and Greenpoint fathers are swearing by it, but people still think it's nasty, clumsy shoes.
Alife, an experienced New York street wear label, is here to help alleviate this by partnering with Crocs in a partnership you need to see to believe. Alife x Crocs offers three different lifestyles - art, sport and classical - and each one is more appealing than the last. Its most eye-catching and expensive type is the Art Modell, which is equipped with detachable 3D-printed jibbitz (the Crocs language for knick-knacks) from some of New York's most famous sights, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building.
On the positive side: It is at least less expensive than the Balenciaga Crocs, which were selling for less than $1,000. Its simplest wearable triple is the Classic, which is basically your grey off-the-shelf crocodile with an oversized Alife emblem, a pitch on the first T-shirt color the make has ever made.
"It is a very fashionable part of the design, a part of the bonnet and the desire to touch my youth," says Christofaro. This means combining the classical Croc with a piece of tubular socks attached to the skin of the cluster. "When I was raised in New York in the 70s, tubular socks were a basic foodstuff for me," continued Christofaro.
"New York counties saw children swinging with Adidas slippers. It was really the idea to take something like a Croc and blend it with these items. Croc has become a week-end boot for many style insider, but has not yet completely broken through the mains.
Maybe Alife's guys suggest that this is the year when the modest shoe can at last enter the mains. But this maximum cooperation with Alife will certainly bring the shots one stage nearer to cooling. $80-$600, available at the Alife shop and on-line on June 14th.
