Punk croc isn\u2019t dead.<\/p>\n
Crocs, the OG ugly shoe brand beloved by grandmothers and gardeners alike, has gained an unlikely gang of hardcore fans: goths.<\/p>\n
New York-based Instagram user @garbage_b0y \u2014 who describes himself as an \u201cuninfluential influencer\u201d and \u201cviral foot model\u201d in his bio \u2014 is the culprit of this odd orthopedic mashup appropriately dubbed \u201cGoth Crocs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Garbage boy (real name: unknown) released the modified black clogs with chains, studs and spikes on his Etsy store. They run upward of $260.<\/p>\n
