LEGO Crocs: More information
Posted by Huw,
More information about LEGO's partnership with Crocs that we first reported on earlier has now been published, including images that clearly show how ridiculous and impractical they will be.
Disappointingly, for those anticipating a new element for the accompanying minifigure's footwear, its shoes are simply made using a pair of plates.
--
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Jan. 23, 2026 – Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX), a world leader in innovative casual footwear for all, today announced a multi-year global partnership with the LEGO Group bringing together two icons of self-expression and originality.
In the playful partnership, Crocs and the LEGO Group are coming together to create something that’s anything but ordinary. Together, the two brands are building a new world of creativity – one that celebrates limitless ways to stand out and break the mould. The collaboration pairs Crocs’ bold spirit with the LEGO Group’s boundless imagination, resulting in a unique fan experience that only these two brands can create together.
Crocs and the LEGO Group are fuelled by communities who thrive on playfulness, personalisation, and sharing their creativity. Every LEGO brick and every Classic Clog adorned with Jibbitz charms is a celebration of fearless self-expression and playful design. Whether you’re a builder, collector, or maker — this partnership is for those who express their creativity with confidence, because creating without limits is how you step into your own kind of extraordinary.
“The LEGO Group’s boundless imagination makes them the perfect match to Crocs’ wonderfully unordinary spirit,” said Carly Gomez, Chief Marketing Officer, Crocs. “We are both brands that pride ourselves in being built different, in celebrating self-expression and in fuelling creativity. I can’t wait for our fans to see what we’re creating together – we’ve truly broken the mould in a way that we never have before.”
To launch the partnership, the two iconic brands are introducing a new and imaginative silhouette constructed with the best pieces of Crocs’ playfulness and the LEGO Group’s limitless creativity. The LEGO Brick Clog is the first of multiple product drops in 2026 and beyond. Each collectable oversized pair features four studs stamped with the LEGO brand logo and an innovative brick-like outsole.
Accompanying the unique collector LEGO Brick Clog is a LEGO Minifigure with four pairs of its own miniature Crocs shoes, so fans will soon have a collectable for themselves to bring anywhere their creativity takes them. Retailing for $149.99 [in fact, $199.99], the LEGO Brick Clog will be available globally starting Feb. 16 on crocs.com and lego.com.
Following the first release, the partnership will feature:
- Multiple product launches through 2026 including Crocs’ largest licenced assortment of unique Jibbitz charms
- Products for adults and kids, inviting everyone to participate in playful self-expression
- A global presence in all major markets, with select in-store experiences to bring the Crocs x the LEGO Group partnership to life
Crocs’ iconic DNA and the LEGO Group’s System-in-Play are both blank canvases for creativity – and together they invite fans to experiment unapologetically. Just like LEGO builds, there’s no wrong way to create your Crocs x LEGO look – only endless opportunities to express yourself.
“The LEGO Group and Crocs have come together to celebrate people’s bold and unapologetic creativity,” said Satwik Saraswati, Head of Licencing & Extended Line Design & Partnerships, the LEGO Group. “Our common mission to enable self-expression and wear it with pride only marks the beginning of a journey with endless possibilities. We cannot wait for the rest of the world to join us and build together with us.”
Later this spring, Crocs and the LEGO Group will be returning with a second drop as part of the multi-year partnership with more ways to wear and play. The collection will be available in global markets with opportunities for fans to engage through in-store experiences in select locations.

No. Just no. 150 bucks? Hell no!
Practical, beautiful and cheap.
Crocs are strange on a normal day but these....
Kids maybe?
Weird
Insert tired old joke about "stepping on LEGO" that I know we all became exhausted with many years ago. Sometimes I wish our hobby stayed just a little bit smaller.
These are going to bring back bullying
I'm not sure that many people will be disappointed at the lack of exclusive elements... But I understand the sentiment. Might pab the 'exclusive' minifigure for fun though!
Is it April 1st already?
Where’s the “Will you be buying this set?” poll?!
I‘ll make my own croc wearing minifig.
I’m getting the feeling that LEGO is getting desperate for partnerships. We knew they’re getting greedy but sheesh.
…this is a joke right?

I do wonder if this is all there is to it. I mean, I just returned from Taiwan and Japan, and seen plenty of decorated regular Crocs over there. Snoopy, Hello Kitty, that kind of stuff. Could work just as well with Lego, I'd say.
Sees thumbnail photo. Checks calendar. January 23rd.
Fantastic poll options!
very excited for those croc moulds to be added to PAB.

It did say "The LEGO Brick Clog is the first of multiple product drops in 2026 and beyond"
So maybe there will be more practical things coming?
And yes, it is the best poll ever
I love that "No, I've never seen anything so ridiculous in my life" is winning the "Will you buy it" poll 7 to 1 over the second place choice.
This article was worth it for the poll alone.

When you walk, both you feet are very near as they pass by each other. These shoes are very wide, people will most likely knock their own feet and trip themselves with these shoes - expect a few lawsuits because the shoes are not safe.
@Huw Excellent poll choices
Looks like it could be mildly fun to wear to a Lego convention, but I can't think of any other circumstance I'd wear them!
Somebody's makin' too much money, somebody's got too much time on their hands.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/idiocracy-crocs/
Leaked April Fools, right?
Have they published a safety sheet to go with them? I can just see lawsuits for people falling down the stairs wearing these.
They could have done a curved 2x4 brick and still had the studs on top. But no, it has to look like an April Fools joke. Not everything has to be the "iconic" 2x4 brick.
The thing I don't like about these and other collabs, e.g. the adidas shoes, is that they always lean on the image of the classic 2x4 brick and bright primary colours. Those are more identifiable as Lego for non-fans. For me, Lego hasn't been about those things in many years. The parts and colours available now have enabled Lego to transcend blocky, brightly coloured models. Modern sets and MOCs rarely use 2x4 bricks or primary colours.
It's not even April, but this looks like a bad bad joke...
(Checks the calendar to see if I've been asleep for a couple of months)
Nope they're real, they look ridiculous, and LEGO are getting desperate.
@HOBBES said:
"Practical, beautiful and cheap."
It's opposite day!
Remember when LEGO was in the business of creating well made and engaging construction toys for children, or did I just imagine that?
They’re actually a bit embarrassing.
What are you doing Lego?
Could *almost* be interesting if the fig's Crocs used decorated 1x1 plates, like the Minecraft microfig faces or little Ferrari logos or something.
@Huw, easily the best set poll. Now THIS is why I visit Brickset : )
I often criticize the over-the-top negative reactions in the Brickset comments, but after seeing these, and then seeing the price? Brickset commenters may not be reacting over the top enough.
Honestly, seeing the generic minifig wearing brick-built "crocs" with no unique prints or pieces makes it look like an April Fools post.
While I'm not a Crocs person, I can see why some people wear the standard Crocs shoes. There are advantages. But these oversized Lego shoes negate those advantages. It's novelty footwear that doesn't look comfortable or functional.
And you know the only type of novelty footwear that works? Slippers. If they made these into soft, fuzzy, Lego brick slippers, they'd have a shot.
I think we may be looking at this the wrong way. The price is ridiculous, but also I think the design for the launch of this collab is also designed to be ridiculous. It’s got people talking , it’s created a media buzz. I am sure the later releases will be much more practical to wear , but they are doing in this specific way to create a particular reaction l, and more eyeballs and interest towards the Lego brand.
It’s all about branding. IMHO
I’m sure there are marketing experts here who will be able to shed some light on this better than me !
But that my two pennies worth .
Also success of this won’t be due to any monetary gains, but how much marketing value and awareness they get out of it.
Anyone that buys these permanently loses any right to complain about the price of Lego.
@ThunderCracker81 said:
"No. Just no. 150 bucks? Hell no!"
Plot twist: it's 200 actually (at least euros), the 150 were an error in communication :-)
I’ve been pretty supportive of Lego over the years whenever people claim they’ve lost their way and do dumb stuff. But then things like this and Smart Brick happen…and I have no defense.
I hate this timeline.

Is it a good buzz though? I think it makes LEGO look stupid. To me, this style of marketing is a bit like annoying and frequently repeated adverts that actually turn you off the product.

A wonderfully stupid novelty. I just wish they were priced as such. $150 is honestly insane. Otherwise... Yeah, I'd buy a pair.

Perhaps they are operating under the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" mindset.
Every day we stray further from God...
Y'all looking at this all wrong... the drip on these is crazy. Imagine pulling up to the function with the LEGO Crocs. You need to embrace silly-maxing

Perhaps they'll come out with Crocs with studs to decorate, à la Dots? I can't think of any other joint project that would make any sense.
Ugly AND expensive!
regulard crocs- No, they look dumb.
Lego crocs- aw Hell no, they look really dumb.
$150 lego crocs- aw **** no, the hell wrong with you?
Not-so-smart bricks
Even the model has that "I can't belive you're making me wear this" look.
Check the Lego online shop, they are actually listed for 199.99€
I wonder what the instruction insert for the set part looks like.
If it is a limited issue, in a sealed box then I can see them selling just for collectors. They are so bad, it has got people talking about croc collaboration which is what they wanted.
When I first read "Lego Crocs" I was thinking something more like regular Crocs where you could attach various lego accessories in a Dots/Clikits-like way, maybe with some (relatively) subtle Lego branding on the shoes themselves. Upon seeing the still from the video in the other article my first thought was "tripping hazard", and actually watching it clearly confirmed this. The picture here shows one major problem (apart from, well, everything), that the toes are about a stud too long (and, as @HOBBES says, way too wide) basically making them clown shoes.
Given that this is supposedly a multi-year partnership, and given all that's wrong with these (looks, practicality, price, not to mention the daft "exclusive" minifigure), I really suspect* these were all from the beginning only intended as a joke attention-grabber (and early-buyer novelty collectible), paving the way for more "normal" shoes coming later.
*As does many others, just as I'm writing this.
Arrr, me sides be splittin' in laughter !!
What a joke...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmVjdYE7qY
At least now when people step on your feet, it will also hurt their feet, because they will be stepping on Lego.
Oops, it looks like you accidentally published this article a bit more than two months too early...
What's the GWP - a miniature rubber room?
April Fools
Okay, okay, we get it, somebody posted the April Fools article too early.
It does even get better: they are 200€!

6x the price for the same old injection molding tech that's been around for a century. Mkay.
And people thought licensed sets from the past few years had a bad $/brick ratio...

Uh yes, that's why I was wondering about normal (but decorated) Crocs.
Also, starting a lawsuit over obviously silly shoes would be the most Murican thing ever. Are you really Canadian?
i think the reason for the extra wide style is to spread out as much weight over surface tension as possible.
So that now, with LEGO you too can walk on water.
To be released April 1st? Right?
Only the best is good enough.
269.99 CAD
I'm honestly not sure if it's a Beaverton style piece or that it's a product that was designed in Christiania.

Completely insane!
It just disappoints me that Lego are going down this route of trolling, this is so typical of the nonsense Demna Gvasalia pulled at Balenciaga.
Create a bit of nonsense fashion to deliberately wind up the press and gain lots of social media posts and memes.
I would actually buy these though, ow would be fun to wear and unironically looks comfortable. Probably wear them all the time at home until I trip on the stairs at 3 in the morning. The price is really bad though, even when compared with their regular Crocs.
I wouldn’t even want them for free.
...although if they come in glow in the dark.

I think this is a sign LEGO has gotten too big. It’s a red….flag.
I will wait for the jibbitz. Much as I love wearing crocs these would be the death of me.
Lego group not just jumping the shark, but vaulting the croc too.
At first glance, it appears to be the financial equivalent of a Darwin Award. Although I do agree this is merely to get attention/publicity before launching the real Lego Crocs.
Being that large and made of the foam Croc material, I wonder if you could walk on water while wearing a pair of these!
I’m waiting for the brick built version for $200
I actually really like these. I like quirky shoes and have wanted some slip on slip off shoes that I an wear for quick errands.
Ah, Brickset just wanted to get April Fools Day out of the way early this year, nice one.
Surely these are just an indoor type of shoe.
I can't see them lasting long outside.
Imagine driving a car with these, lol!
I was going to say the best thing to come out of this (besides laughter) is the stepped plate, but I see now it’s just stacked plates!
@Elite_1 said:
"Is it April 1st already?"
Clearly this is the response from some follower of the Julian calendar making fun of all those “crazy people” who insist on observing Leap Year every year that ends in “00”.
This has to be an April fools joke... its like when you were a kid and you cut some holes in two boxes and walked around the house. I wouldn't be caught dead outside in these.

If I want to walk around wearing tripping hazards, I’ve got stingray slippers the size of dinner plates with floppy tails that are about a foot long. Or I’ve got great white shark slippers that are 22” long. Or I’ve got hammerhead shark slippers that are 26” long.
Whoever greenlit this ought to be sacked.

The first person to get in a car accident with these is gonna sue the daylights out of Lego and Crocs. Just watch!
If I ever say "is it April Fools already?" because a new product is weird and doesn't appeal to me, that isn't really me.
(If I say the people responsible must have been on drugs, that isn't just not me, it's a The Thing From Another World and you should electrocute it ASAP.)
These look uncomfortable.
Balenciaga no longer has the monopoly on overpriced troll fashion, it appears
Those seem REALLY uncomfortable to walk in.
(Poll is hilarious btw)
I think these are obviously snow shoes, something like klu-ski. They should be for 30 bucks.
I really don't know what to say here. I just don't understand. Like, why was this something that needed to happen?
@CPerks said:
"Remember when LEGO was in the business of creating well made and engaging construction toys for children, or did I just imagine that?"
Apparently we were all hallucinating.
How can you even walk on these things? They look so uncomfortable with the 90° angle at the heel, the flat sole and the (Heavy?) bulky front
Coming soon: Levis x LEGO brick jeans.
I wonder if maybe someone at TLG just had the minifig version on their desk for fun and then someone walked by, asked what it was, got told with a chuckle that it was crocs, and then had a sudden flash of inspiration...
I can't imagine they made the full-size version *first*.
They completely lost it in Billund. What's next, square LEGO pants or plastic wigs?
I think TLG announced to their people that there was a deal with Crocs, and someone sketched these purely as a joke, but someone said, "That's great! Let's do it... and they'll cost $200!"
Can they at least be used as floatation devices?

Missing the option “I would, but I want/need them in a different color”.
:p
April Fools isn't for another 2+ months guys
Finally something 1:1 minifig scale!
How do I insert the Ian Malcolm “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should” meme? I like Lego as a building toy. I have no desire to make the brand my lifestyle.
Is today April 1st?
@xprojected said:
"Coming soon: Levis x LEGO brick jeans."
Seeing as though they already have the license (40438) that seems more feasible than these…
Those are hilarious. I want a pair just because of how ridiculous they look.
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a regular pair of Crocs. This is just mortifying for the person wearing these abominations.
Tudor Corner or these… hmm, that’s a really tough decision.
Lego is going for April Fool’s year. The “smart” brick, Lego Crocs, what’s next? The least they could have done was to make the top of the Croc compatible with actual bricks so you could wear your builds on your feet.

I like it when brightly colored basic bricks still show up. I love the fact that 70816 included a red 2x4. And even though 77256 already had two of https://brickset.com/parts/6244918/brick-2x4-w-cross-hole, it also included a basic red 2x4, which I appreciated.

That makes these genius! Everyone, take back every negative thing you said about these now! Except about the "exclusive" minifig, you can keep insulting that.

I am Canadian alright; the Muricans will do the suing. In my (unrealistic) idealized world, Canadians would have enough sense not to buy this and the total sales in Canada would be zero - hence no lawsuits here - alas this probably won't happen - I bet some people (with too much money) will buy it just to show it: "hey look at this!!!"
I’ve seen way dumber and more impractical fashion items, honestly. These’ll appeal to the niche that really likes wacky standout stuff to finish their outfit off and not the average Lego AFOL, and that’s fine.
First of all--I can't be the only one who checked his calendar to see if it was April 1st. Nope, January.
Regular ones are so slippery, I don't even wear them outside. They're basically basement/house shoes only for me. Only reason I've got Crocs right now is Sam's Club had them on sale here locally for a pretty good price--but otherwise, I wear the Rugged Shark knockoffs from Walmart as house shoes. My regular shoes are Birkenstock Profi Birki clogs--which hold up great, are excellent with my foot and ankle issues, and are slip resistant. Double the cost of Crocs, but so much better (and German-made).
These look absolutely comical! And $150 dollars! I thought regular Crocs were overpriced for molded Chinese-made foam "slippers", but these are DOUBLE what my Birkenstocks cost--and that was a lot.
Is the LEGO group now managed by a circus? Are the taking cues from a superpower on how to mismanage everything? Is it April 1st? These questions and so many more about the direction of LEGO, which is seemingly downwards!
Seemingly a reflection on the LEGO group... wandering aimlessly in circles!
These look fun! One of my kids will definitely want some, but they aren't going to get them because no way I'm paying $150 for these. I'd pay like $60.
These don't even look like Crocs due to lacking that distinct shape. The target market clearly isn't AFOLS which doesn't surprise me.
They should have partnered with Action or Lidl and sell in these stores for 15€ to their Crocs audience. Positioning this as high fashion is weird.
I expect more from Mattel scaling up Barbie heels so they become true to life scale.
This kind of thing makes it embarrassing to like Lego.
Is this an early April fools joke?
Is it April's fool again already?
Aren't there mayor safety concerns with the design in combination with driving a car?
Someone in the US will try it, crash their car because it caused them to hit both the brake and gas pedal and sue Crocs...

Seeing as a lot of electric cars have a flat front, it would be an ideal match to do a collaboration with an electric car manufacturer with the vintage city style cars.
@huw, where does this article reach in most commented ones? If near the top, Lego have got their pennys worth on people talking about it.
So we are all in agreement? We all invest in a pair and then we all sue?

Talk is not always good, and there is such thing as bad press. If LEGO do something else to say this was a joke and they are trolling fans, then fair enough. If they truly believe there are people that will buy any old crap because of the LEGO label then it puts the company in a different light.
> to bring anywhere their creativity takes them.
To TAKE anywhere! You TAKE your shoes with you!

So LEGO's gone into the "ridiculously overpriced fashion statement" market, like they're Supreme or Balenciaga.
What a load of nonsense.
It honestly feels like because they're now swimming in so much money they can do whatever the hell they want when it comes to partnerships and product development without it hurting them.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark...
This must be a leak of LEGO’s official April Fool’s Day joke, it must be! It’s the only way I can rationalize this article and those laughable pictures.

I don't blame the entire LEGO company for this - decisons taken by leadership and marketing initiatives are not always aligned with the core values of a company, nor are supported by the employees.
There was possibly some internal resistance in this case, though. I think when people who actually work with LEGO were tasked to provide an 'exclusive' minifigure for this product, they couldn't say no, but delivered the most ordinary minifigure they could think of. They didn't bother to develop a new mold for the minifigure sandals or even printing the torso. And it can be justified as a way to minimize costs and maximize profits...
I REALLY would love to own these. But not for THIS price.
WTF LEGO????
I posted the first article on my club Discord's news channel. This one I posted to the humor channel.
Absolutely atrocious.
Thank you, no. I just don't hate myself enough to want this.
I am disappointed that the poll is not trolled with almost 100% "day one buying" option.
– Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX), a world leader in innovative casual footwear for all, today announced a multi-year global partnership with the LEGO Group bringing together two icons of self-expression and originality.
Could be Crocs, not lego behind this....
Did we as a civilization not learn anything from the 2006 documentary movie named "Idiocracy"?

Bring back?
It’s alive and thriving from what I see!

"Best poll ever!
I do wonder if this is all there is to it. I mean, I just returned from Taiwan and Japan, and seen plenty of decorated regular Crocs over there. Snoopy, Hello Kitty, that kind of stuff. Could work just as well with Lego, I'd say."
It did say "The LEGO Brick Clog is the first of multiple product drops in 2026 and beyond"
So maybe there will be more practical things coming?
And yes, it is the best poll ever"
There can hardly be anything less practical than what appear to be squared off clown shoes. Going to be a lot of people falling with those on, unless they spend all their time watching their feet as they move.
The poll options are fun, though.
A bit too pricey, but i would rock them.
So much disdain for LEGO Crux…..er, Crocs.
The most interesting thing about this silly discussion is the news query by @Huw . How fun it is to browse previous, vigorous discussions. The negativity article is fascinating. It also jumped out at me how many vocal members have come and gone over the years.
Is this the golden age of LEGO? Time to expand the licensing discussion to now include the likely yet ridiculous options. LEGO Capn Crunch…LEGO United Healthcare….LEGO Michelin Tires….LEGO Maidenform…

"LEGO Michelin Tires"
Yes! I'd be down for that.
Well, hey, if every Technic set has to be licensed, why not the tyres as well? I'd love a JCB backhoe with Michelin BibLoads.
This just seems like a bad joke. While some other brick manufacturers are spending a lot of time making their products better with better designs, better colour consistency, more and better prints, integrated lighting...LEGO is wasting precious resources on this. I'm sorry. I really love and I'm fond of the brand but it is more and more due to nostalgia and less due to the quality of their products.
I was considering buying them until I saw how ridiculously expensive they are. I’d rather use $150 to buy a nice LEGO set.

Bricklink thinks this already happened:

Originally, this minifig wasn't even listed under the Stay Puft name!

To be fair, I wouldn't pay $200 for me either.

There were LEGO Eggo waffles many years back. I seem to recall they were even designed to connect together.

77253.
These, just like Crocs, are abominations.
Swing and a miss. This should be strike three on Lego shoes. They just don't seem to want to learn that shoe doesn't fit.

"No. Just no. 150 bucks? Hell no!"
Plot twist: it's 200 actually (at least euros), the 150 were an error in communication :-) "
It's $150 on the Crocs website, but $200 on the Lego site.
Why is Lego charging an extra $50? I dunno... but looks extremely shady.
don't forget was mentioned,
and the brand makes that known with a note on the website that says “Not intended for all-day wear.”
For those unaware, these don't cost $150. They cost $200.
Well, I’ve had a chuckle about these, I have no doubt collectors/scalpers will snap these up the moment they go on sale, and we’re all talking about LEGO Crocs. Job well done by the LEGO marketing team.
I truly thought and believed over the years up to now that I had seen the epitome of lack of taste in Crocs design; as someone who has unequivocally avoided them since their inception. However here we are, with Lego “taking my beer” as well as taking the whole cake.

Why would they partner with Michelin? LEGO already makes more tires than anybody else on Earth by a fair margin.
Actually the pricing is perfect; it pretty much ensures that no acquaintance or well-meaning family member who knows you are ‘into Lego’ will buy you a pair.

Exactly. And I really hope my work colleagues don't like me that much that they don't all chip in together to be able to get them as a present :-D
I wonder... which exec put these on, walked around the boardroom, tripped over their own heels, and still green-lit the project?
I think back to the Adidas partnership. The first shoes were cool, sold out quickly, and were followed up by a series of less exciting shoes that remained on shelves for a while. I expect something similar will happen here. First round will sell out quickly to scalpers, completionists, etc. the next round will be more mundane and familiar.
Thinking a bit more it occurs to me, these not meant to be worn. They are meant to be sold and displayed just like most other things in Lego's portfolio of late.

I was actually considering buying a pair of one of those, but nobody actually stocked them. I'd have had to figure out a style of shoe that had the same fit (easier with work boots than gym shoes), figure out which size I needed to order, and then wait for it to arrive. Ultimately, what stopped me from doing that was that I wasn't really thrilled with any of the color schemes. If they'd made them in purple, I'd be wearing them to shows all the time.
Really curious to see how well these will sell, 'cause I'm not buying.
Absolutely love this poll, btw. Could've been great for the Slice Of Death Star as well :P

Holy crap, those are real? And they made two versions? One looks like it's for people who think they're actually stylish, and the other one for people who don't care anymore.
3% ironic.
