Marc Jacobs is embracing fall’s clog trend within his latest shoe assortment — and bringing the style his own dramatic flair.
Within the designer’s autumn lineup, he’s released the new J Marc clog. The round-toed $495 style features smooth leather uppers, complete with rounded toes and its standard slip-on silhouette. Bringing the pair a dramatic boost, however, is its base — which features thick platform soles and 4.5-inch block heels.
The soaring style is cast in two stark, minimal colorways for the occasion: an all-black palette, as well as an all-white one. For a whimsical spin, the third and final palette features a black base spotted with allover white polka dots — a pattern that can be seen throughout Jacobs’ fall collection, including its accompanying campaign starring Kim Kardashian.
The shoe is given a punky flair from its final accents: silver eyelet-studded straps, which line the top of each shoe. All of the styles are complete with curved silver metal J Marc buckles, adding a dash of logomania to the footwear while further enhancing the shoe’s own curved silhouettes.
Jacobs’ shoe assortment for autumn includes a range of silhouettes leaning into his penchants for drama and retro athletic wear, featuring a palette of white, black, green, lavender and more. The designer’s new styles include his towering Kiki platform boots — including sparkly iterations covered in glitzy allover crystals. The line is rounded out with a series of chunky lace-up sneakers, monogram-topped slides and chunky clogs, as well.
