LEGO x Crocs collaboration incoming
Posted by Huw,
When I saw this picture on Facebook earlier today I thought it was some AI-generated joke, given how totally ridiculous it looks, but apparently it's a thing: Crocs shaped like LEGO bricks are coming.
According to Fashion Network they'll be available from mid-February priced at $150, and they'll include a minifigure with several pairs of its own Crocs to wear.
View a video of someone wearing them in which you can see how impractical they are after the break.

The world has gone mad…
Dang, I jumped the gun with my Crocs.

I agree, many times already, but this isn't even close to the maddest thing this week...
These look very uncomfortable to walk in.
I love my Crocs, but I think I'm done with cross-over lines.
They've jumped the shark.
This must be an April fools joke
Get serious, fellows
Now I am a snappy dresser but these aren't for me. It feels like Lego is losing its sole, with all these new products. I don't think this is a market Lego needed to dip its toe in!
For around 20-30 €/£/$ this could have been a silly joke or impulse buy territory for costume parties or such. At this price tag this is just head scratching.
Maybe TLG won't be so keen to see photos of their brand name washed up on a beach near you.
Wow, that's somehow even worse than I'd imagined from the title.
These are for the rich kids of Instagram. Unwearable fashion, but good for social media likes.
Is this 2000 again?

If the Lego Lost at Sea project is any indication that ship has definitely sailed…
Is the suit also LEGO?
So, will we get brick-built Crocs? Will they hurt as much as stepping on a brick bare-footed?
Is it April the first?
Is the 23rd of January the new April 1st?
Who thought this would be a good idea? They even made it some sort of a high-end product. It's unbelievable.
These are for Instagram and for new-in-box collectors.
I’m certainly not one to judge about fashion choices that prioritise The Look over ease of use, and lord knows I own a fair few pairs of heels despite barely being able to walk in trainers. However, I have the general impression that Crocs fans in particular do tend to care quite a bit about comfort and being able to walk in them. I’m guessing these’ll appeal more to the General Quirk type than the majority Crocs audience but hey, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
What a complete croc(k)
As an adult I would LOVE to get these upcoming Nike Air Max shoes for myself.

But it looks like they'll be, once again, exclusively available in grade school sizing.
Crocs however... ? Who asked for that ??
Miss Goldin needs a reality check...

We all know it's not nice walking on Lego, so it appropriate they are uncomfortable
I think "Lego is cool" peaked just after the covid pandemic, and the decline is in progress.
These are pretty funny, would be an amusing set of novelty footwear if they were cheap, but at that price, it's just ridiculous. I'm sure people could make their own for much cheaper!
Why is TLG collaborating with the ugliest shoe ever made?
The guy in the video struggled to walk in them, but clearly paid to promote them.
The fashion industry is rife with novelty designs, which are made to generate publicity and not to be actually worn. Unfortunately it looks like Lego are going down this route and more focused on social media novelty and memes, rather than creating long lasting items.
Think I'll start wearing my shoeboxes around. Looks about the same.
The thing I'm most curious about is the included minifigure and what its Crocs will look like.

I'd make an arch comment about those puns, but I don't want to be a heel.

:-)
Which seems appropriate, since such kind of apparel would look right at home in any ZAZ movie.
Paying LEGO to protect you from stepping on LEGO, this dastardly deed is a step too far
Well, if Lego group will earn some $$$ with this brilliant idea of dumb product AND because of that sets will be % cheaper then it's GREAT NEWS!
This will go over in history as one of the worst lego sets ever. Very interesting.
I'm wearing Crocs right now......fake Crocs that is. My brother brought these years ago from Czechia, and pretty sure these were nowhwere near as expensive....
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
It's a licensed shoe. Calm down.

From what I understand, many people find them extremely comfortable. I pronate, though, so they’d probably be hell on my ankles, I couldn’t bring myself to wear them with socks, and I can’t stand having even a hint of excess moisture in my shoes.
Fifteen F1 cars seems like quite reasonable idea now

Welp, that's it. LEGO has jumped the shark and lost the plot. Sanity has left the building, and it won't be back.
I stepped on LEGO with LEGO.

If they pick up the lego and keep building on the bottom, then this is brilliant.
bit early for an april fools joke

I really need to watch those movies. All four of them are on my Paramount+ watchlist, but I still have a bunch of Star Trek to get through!

Watch at least the first two! Even though the aforementioned scene is from the third installment, the first two are far better.
And the less said about the remake, the better.
A novelty item priced like a luxury item. Part of the trend of selling the worst quality things at the highest price possible. LEGO must know it has a lot of fools with money that will buy whatever nonsense they sell.
As someone who teaches at a private school in a wealthy area: there is absolutely a market for this, and I'm expecting to see at least one of my students wearing them at some point.
This is so stupid.
I want a pair.
But not at $150. What are they thinking.
I want to see someone run in these.
And that vest needs the DOTS treatment.
I'd rather walk on my LEGO bricks than this collab.
And this from someone who wants and has the LEGO Adidas shoes.
Now LEGO and Doc Martens, that would be a collab. Imagine a studded footprint.
Sure, that might as well happen.

It's clear that Tommy Cash was dancing with demons before this event.
I would say I have no words, but I do, they just aren't allowed on here
Dumbest. LEGO. Product. Ever.

"Dumbest. LEGO. Product. Ever."
Someone at Lego heard you and said, "Challenge accepted!"
I so want these but I'd probably end up breaking my neck or something when I inevitably trip myself while attempting to walk in them. The price is no worse than any of the sneaker collabs they've done so far.
The cringe factor increases daily.
Maybe they should have been modelled on the head of the classic 6026c01 crocodile as seen in 7080.

Hey, that would be cool!
