Crocs are famously divisive, and many might contend that they sacrifice style for function. At long last, the company has something to potentially stop critics in their tracks. Designed by street label Kith, the Crocs Echo Storm wipes out those controversial holes for elegant, wavy lines.
It’s hard not to compare the shoe with avant-garde foam styles by the likes of YEEZY’s Foam Runner. The footwear features a contoured upper made from Crocs’ 100% vegan and bio-based Croslite material and an ultra-plush neoprene sock, complete with a lightweight mesh vent.

Promising Crocs-level comfort, the exaggerated midsole design incorporates medial vent holes for enhanced breathability. A LiteRide drop-in footbed ensures all-day comfort, and discreet Crocs branding above the front pull tab adds a subtle nod to the oft-over-the-top company.

The clog is “a versatile slip-on silhouette designed through a futuristic lens,” describes Kith.
Offered in two sleek monochromatic colors of Tundra (off-white) and Black Ice, the Echo Storm makes for a versatile addition for wardrobe coordination in spite of its offbeat construction.

The limited-edition Crocs Echo Storm is exclusively available at select Kith stores, with a price tag of US$100.
