All parents can agree that stepping on a Lego is an experience that can provoke quite the outburst. It has become a rite of passage in parenting that involves exclaiming a colorful array of words after a rogue Lego finds its way underfoot. Indeed, Legos have earned a reputation as miniature torture devices for parents, and we’ve all come to terms with this reality.
In a stroke of marketing genius, Lego has partnered with a French ad agency to unveil what they’re calling “Lego-proof slippers.” However, most of us simply recognize them as… slippers.
This week, Lego introduced a design for “anti-Lego-pain” slippers, and the response has been overwhelming. CNET describes these slippers as follows:
- They feature a squared-off design that allows them to be worn on either foot, which is especially convenient during those late-night searches.
- The open back design enables quick slipping on and off.
- With their generously padded insoles, these slippers promise to shield your feet from even the most formidable Lego pieces.
Incredible, right? Who would have thought of such an innovation? Padded footwear that you wear around the house? What kind of magic is this? Oh, it’s just slippers—something that we all likely already have in our closets.
Despite the fact that most people already own similar footwear, these slippers make for a humorous gift. Any parent would surely chuckle upon receiving these during the holiday season. Unfortunately, they won’t be readily available for purchase; Huffpost reveals that “Brand Station” is only producing 1,500 pairs, which will be randomly distributed to those who fill out a Christmas wish list on the LEGO France website. Think of it as a golden ticket to the world of slippers.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you could always just glue some Legos onto a pair of regular slippers and call it a day. But honestly, it’s quite remarkable how Lego has convinced many that they are the originators of this household item.
Now, if they could just create a slipper that picks up loose Legos as you walk—essentially a Lego Roomba—we would truly be impressed!
