These Trippy, Brainy Hiking Crocs Are Expedition-Ready
The Brain Dead x Crocs Trailbreak 2 radically distances itself from standard foam slides and slip-ons.
When it comes to tearing up traditional footwear rulebooks, few creative forces do it better than Kyle Ng’s Brain Dead. Continuing their boundary-pushing partnership, the Los Angeles creative collective and the clog masters launch their latest technical masterpiece on August 25, 2026 for $120: the Brain Dead x Crocs Trailbreak 2 Multi/Deep Green.
The Brain Dead x Crocs Trailbreak 2 radically distances itself from standard foam slides and slip-ons. Rather than sticking to the traditional All-Terrain molded clog blueprint, the Trailbreak 2 acts as a fully realized, hybrid trail shoe.
It bridges the gap between Brain Dead’s psychedelic aesthetics and genuine outdoor functional performance in Crocs’ ever-popular rubber blueprint.
By taking Crocs' lightweight foam DNA and fusing it with a tie-dye, multi-material finish, Brain Dead redefines the clog, giving us a pair that feels weirdly organic despite its technical aesthetic.
The construction centers on a marbled green sole which extends way beyond the standard remit. Wrapping all the way around the toe to become part-toebox, and up the sides to become part-upper, the rubber foundations inform the entire silhouette.
Durable ripstop and breathable mesh paneling fill the gaps, making this much more than a clog. It’s a fully enclosed design to take hiking, swimming, and everything in between. By pairing a marbled sole unit with trail-ready ripstop, lacing systems, and LiteRide™ tech, the design feels nicely poised between everyday wear and specialized utility.
