McDonald's and Crocs are teaming up again, the fast-food giant confirmed to FOX Business.
Miniature versions of the popular footwear, in the form of keychain-like "clips," will be available in U.S.-purchased Happy Meals starting Sept. 17.
Photos from McDonald's show the minis in eight different designs. They will be housed in "their own Happy Meal shoe box, with a special Jibbitz sticker sheet for customization," the company's Menu Spotter says.
Guests who scan a QR code can unlock a "dynamic digital experience" where they can mix and match selections to create their own unique shoe design.
"Superfans, put your Crocs in ‘sports mode’ and get ready to run to your local McDonald’s," the company said.

Current Happy Meals in the U.S. feature a Yu-Gi-Oh! mashup with Sanrio Hello Kitty and Friends toys.
This would not be the first collaboration between McDonald's and Crocs, as the footwear company has made McDonald's-themed clogs before.

Global sales fell 1% in the second quarter, its first decline in 13 quarters, compared with analysts' average estimate of a 0.53% rise, according to LSEG data.
To reverse the decline, fast-food chains have launched several promotions in an attempt to boost customer traffic during persistent inflation.
