Street View is a fashion series in which Isa Giallorenzo spotlights some of the coolest styles seen in Chicago.
Humble crocs—the lightweight, comfortable, aerated, slip-resistant footwear—became a fixture of what-not-to-wear lists after enjoying a moment in the sun around 2007. Still ridiculed by the general public, Mario Batali’s favorite brand of foam-resin clogs are (for better or worse) being adopted and reinterpreted by young, fashion-forward folks such as Aya KonĂ© (pictured left) and William “Woody” Tauke. If it’s proof of anything, it’s that just about any fad—love it or loathe it—will come back around if you wait long enough.
