Individuality is more than just about doing what feels right to you — it’s about breaking away from the norm and striking out to make a name for yourself. And what better way to cement your identity than with these awesome kicks from Autry & Dingyun Zhang x Crocs?
From bold and mesmerising colours that would make rainbows themselves envious, to striking designer takes on a familiar classic, here are epic new footwear that’re shaking up the scene.
Autry Windspin
Heritage brand Autry adds the Windspin to its wide range of footwear styles for Spring/Summer 2025.
The new sneaker pays homage to iconic ’60s aesthetics and the easygoing lifestyle of the West Coast, while maintaining the brand’s American heritage and incorporating modern updates through Italian design sensibilities.
The Windspin, a tribute to the silhouettes of the time that embrace Autry’s origins, has a tapered silhouette and a multipurpose flat-sole with a soft, distressed suede upper that complements the collection’s laid-back vibe.
The collection, which comes in a wide variety of 27 gradient colourways, was inspired by the endless California sunset. Some versions adopt a more sophisticated style that introduces neutral colours and perforated side outlines, while others draw inspiration from the previously mentioned warm-horizon idea.
The Windspin is a celebration of Autry’s rich story. The trainers provide a welcome change of pace for the warmer months in the city and beyond, while the campaign images transport viewers to the sandy beaches of the West Coast.
The Autry Windspin can be purchased through the brand’s website as well as select retailers for €185 (~RM918).
Dingyun Zhang x Crocs Diffuser
Dingyun Zhang has continued to rise through the ranks of the fashion industry. Last year, the YEEZY alumnus and CSM graduate collaborated with Crocs and adidas, continuing to experiment with footwear. Zhang and Crocs recently released the Diffuser in two new colourways, continuing their collaboration.
The sports car-inspired Crocs Diffuser, which was first shown in all-white at the end of 2024, is returning in “Sapphire” and “Black Sand.” In the former, a gradient covering the wavy silhouette changes from grey at the front and back to blue and purple in the middle. Regarding its “Black Sand” equivalent, the entire slip-on is covered in an all-black finish. To finish the design, co-branding is applied to the cushioned footbed of both pairs.
The Dingyun Zhang x Crocs Diffuser is available now in “Sapphire” and “Black Sand” via Crocs and Dingyun Zhang for US$85 (~RM372).
