The Crocs Ripple is available now on Complex.
Steven Smith has one of the more quietly influential résumés in footwear. He's worked for New Balance, Adidas, Reebok, Fila, Nike, and Yeezy, designing shoes that defined eras and still move decades later. His work tends to share a common thread: exaggerated forms, chunky silhouettes, and a willingness to push a category past its comfort zone. The Ripple is his take on what Crocs can be.
Smith applied his signature design instincts to the clog format, building out a sole with layered, wave-like construction that gives the shoe its name. The result reads as distinctly Smith—recognizable as Crocs, but pushed further than the brand has gone before.
