Commenting on his love of Crocs and working with the footwear brand, Cauchemar said in a statement: “I simply wear them! So, I was very happy to get the chance to collaborate with a brand that is so iconic.

“I was very interested by the different collaborations Crocs did recently and I studied the Crocs universe and I simply adapted my personal taste to it.”

On the design itself, Cauchemar, added: “I loved adding the Classic logo on the sole. I really wanted to have the big Crocs logo on it but in an unexpected way. It was like a game: I created lots of details and used different materials. I had lot of fun to create a clog that a really want to wear!”
