The Minions x Crocs Classic Clog has been unveiled by the footwear brand as a celebratory version of its signature clog-style shoe that marks the latest installment in the franchise.
The clogs are covered in a Minions outfit-inspired color scheme that incudes denim overalls at the toe that leads up to a partially yellow upper. The strap is paired with the character's goggles and accented by a series of additional details that fans will recognize.
The Minions x Crocs Classic Clog is expected to be priced at $70 and will make its debut soon via the brand's website and at participating stores. The shoe is expected to be a hit with fans and will help them gear up for the release of Despicable Me 4 hitting theaters July 3, 2024.
