The ugly shoe craze is not over. We've seen what happens when Uggs and Tevas team up, and even the horrifying invention of cowboy boot sandals. Now, we must stomach the crème de la crème of ugly shoes: bejeweled crocs. London designer Christopher Kane teamed up with Crocs to create this sparkly monstrosity for his Spring 2017 in London's fashion week. The theme of his show, “Make Do & Mend,” is inspired by 1940's pragmatism and questions our faith in high fashion standards. Kane's metallic crocs are decorated with precious stones, such as diaspro, red leopard malachite and zebra jasper and will actually be produced and sold.

It seems the designer's collection sparked genuine confusion on twitter as well. Please explain to me why Christopher Kane sent crocs down the runway — k-la (@KaylaManjarrez) September 19, 2016 Crocs happened at Christopher Kane?!! I can't wait to see how this plays out! — Grace Timothy (@GraceTimothy) September 19, 2016 If Christopher Kane just ordained Crocs as the new ironic shoe du jour I'm gonna lose it — Misty White Sidell (@MistyWhiteS) September 19, 2016 When will it end?
