Crocs and Lily Brown are pushing a new Japan-market footwear drop into view before it reaches stores on April 29. (prtimes.jp) Lily Brown said on April 13 that it will release two exclusive Crocs styles in Japan on April 29, with online preorders opening at noon on April 27. The shoes will be sold through Lily Brown stores, its online shop, the Mash Store app, Usagi Online, ZOZOTOWN, and Rakuten. (prtimes.jp) The lineup centers on two platform clogs built on Crocs’ Classic Clog base: the Bae Iridescent Clog in lavender at ¥13,310 and the Super Bae Wedding Party in black at ¥15,950. Both come in sizes 22.0 through 25.0 centimeters and use roughly 6-centimeter thick soles. (prtimes.jp) Fashion Press described the first pair as a pale pink-toned iridescent clog that shifts color in the light, and the second as a black style finished with glitter and faux pearls. The same report said both pairs include holes on the upper and back strap for Crocs charms. (fashion-press.net) The timing fits a pattern Lily Brown has used before. In 2024, the brand sold a Lily Brown-only color of Crocs’ Stomp Fisherman Sandal, a bulky light-blue model that signaled an appetite for fashion-led Crocs releases inside the label’s customer base. (lily-brw.com) This release also leans into Crocs’ broader collaboration playbook. Crocs Japan maintains a dedicated collaborations page, and the company’s Japanese site is promoting limited collections as a core part of its current merchandising. (crocs.co.jp) Lily Brown said it will also sell selected Jibbitz charms at 10 directly operated stores from April 29, including Shinjuku Lumine Est, Nagoya Parco, Shibuya Parco, Yokohama Lumine, Namba City, and Kobe Marui. The charms will be available only while supplies last, and assortments will vary by store. (prtimes.jp) For now, the collaboration is moving like a social-first fashion launch: images are circulating ahead of the retail date, while the official sales window is still nearly two weeks away. By April 29, the question will be whether online attention turns into quick sellouts at Lily Brown’s stores and partner sites. (prtimes.jp)
