No One Really Asked For This, But Crocs Are Cool Again According To The Internet

Is Gen Z responsible for this? 🤔

No One Really Asked For This, But Crocs Are Cool Again According To The Internet

If I recall correctly, there was a time when Crocs were considered embarrassing footwear and the sight of our parents wearing them out in public made us cringe to the core.

People on Twitter have been referring them as "the Nickelback of shoes" for years.

Now all of a sudden they're cool again and I just want to know who or what is responsible for the second coming.

Is it the pandemic? Is it TikTok? Is it Justin Bieber?! Another unsolved mystery for Netflix to investigate, I guess.

Everyone is proudly sporting Crocs these days, from Questlove on the red carpet to our fave fashion influencers on Instagram.

If you're interested in jumping on the bandwagon, you can buy colourful Crocs online for $64.99 and up. You also get free shipping and score an extra 15% off your first order when you sign up for the company's emails.

While some of us are SHAKING at the thought of other fashion flops making a comeback – like super low-rise jeans, trucker hats and the whole t-shirt over a long-sleeved shirt thing – we're taking comfort in all the memes floating around the internet.

Careful where you go swimming 🐊

There's no way to predict how long Crocs will ride this high but if you wanna be where the cool kids are, it's clearly on a one-way train to Crocsville.
