The 'ugly' shoe that took the world by storm, now available to buy and still in stock
Crocs have become a fashion staple, with designers like Balenciaga, Christopher Kane, and Salehe Bembury adding their unique twists. But it's Simone Rocha who has truly elevated the humble Croc to new heights of style and comfort. At her spring/summer 2026 show during London Fashion Week, Rocha unveiled the Ballerina Platform, a masterpiece that combines ballet pump, Mary-Jane, and Croc elements. Decorated with her signature pearls and crystals, these rubber shoes exude romance and whimsy, making Crocs more appealing than ever.
The Ballerina Platform is part of Rocha's vision of a 'Disgruntled Debutante', paired with pillow bags, sequin bra tops, and sculptural playsuits. And they're incredibly comfortable, too! The black pair has been more popular than the white version, but both are still available for £270. Even if you've never been a fan of Crocs, this new style is hard to resist. It's a rare combination of extreme comfort and aesthetic appeal.
But the Ballerina Platform isn't the only style in the Simone Rocha x Crocs collaboration. The Platform Clog, a slight platform sole version of the classic Croc clog, is also available. Decorated with pearls and crystals, it's a stunning addition to the collection. And for those who prefer sneakers, the Trailbreak 2 is a Croc/sneaker hybrid, though the black version has already sold out in most sizes.
If you're considering joining the Crocs trend, be quick! Previous Simone Rocha x Crocs collections have sold out fast, and resellers often charge more than double the original price. So, if you want to spend the rest of autumn in crystal-encrusted comfort, now's the time to act...
