Crocs went on sale less than 20 years ago, but they're already experiencing a "renaissance," according to The Independent.

And for the Spring 2022 season, Crocs are getting a crossover boost from luxury fashion house Balenciaga: New models feature a stiletto heel (which looks more like a Lego piece) under the traditional green or black perforated upper.

The new model may cost as much as $1,000, but social media isn't on board.

One tweet called them "an actual nightmare," and another commenter said she is "irrationally angry." [The Independent, 6/9/2021]

If the high-heeled Crocs aren't outre enough for you, look into this accessory: the Mundstuck, made by MYL Berlin.

"Mundstuck" means "mouthpiece"; this high-style one fits over the bottom lip and decorates the chin, Oddity Central reported on June 7.

MYL Berlin calls it "structured, chic and daring. ... It nestles perfectly on your lip without applying pressure or hindering your mobility."

The stainless steel Mundstuck comes in black, gold or silver and in three different designs.

Prices range from $75 to $140. [Oddity Central, 6/7/2021]
