The INSIDER Summary:

• Balenciaga will sell platform Crocs.
• The designer debuted the shoes at Paris Fashion Week at an October 1 show.
• It's unclear how much the shoes will cost.
• The internet doesn't know how to feel about them.

A lot of strange things have happened during Fashion Week, but Balenciaga's latest footwear offering is perhaps the most baffling.

On October 1, the designer debuted a platform Croc shoe during its Paris Fashion Week runway show — and people haven't stopped talking about it since.

The Crocs have a 10-centimeter platform and will be sold in a variety of colors, including pink and yellow as pictured above.

It's unclear how much the clog-style shoe will cost, but since Balenciaga will sell the shoes, it's likely that they will surpass Crocs' typical $35 price point. It's also unclear if the shoes will come with the millennial-friendly pins pictured above or if they will be sold separately. 

Since the unexpected collaboration launched, fashion fans on the internet predictably have a lot of opinions.

Twitter users have not been shy about how much they hate the shoes. 

One person questioned whether the shoes are practical. 

Some people sheepishly admitted that they like the shoes.

Oddly enough, this isn't the first time that a high fashion designer has tried to make Crocs trendy. As Vogue UK pointed out, designer Christopher Kane had models wear a gemstone-embellished version of the shoe during a September 2016 fashion show.

For now, it looks like the fashion world isn't ready to give up on Crocs anytime soon.
