Crocs and 3sixteen Join on the Textural Dylan Clog

New York-based fashion imprint 3sixteen has been intrigued by the dynamic Dylan clog by Crocs since it was first launched and now, it gets a chance to create its own variation of the shoe. The brand's website makes a note about the silhouette in a blog entry -- it states, “Their minimal design made them suitable to throw on with a pair of flowy linen pants or some drawstring shorts, but we also found ourselves reaching for them to run quick errands or to go to the pool."
The collaborative silhouette is a slip-on design and the most defining feature is the textural finish which mimicks the look of woven leather straps along the upper that is captured through the molded pattern. This is made with inspiration from Mexican Huarache sandals -- it is now available to shop online at 3sixteen and other retailers.
