Key Takeaways

  • The Pokemon x Crocs collection launches on October 17 with Charizard, Gengar, Jigglypuff, and Snorlax designs for $70.
  • Previous Crocs collaborations include Hello Kitty and now Fortnite, showcasing diverse pop culture influences.

As a long-time gamer and Pokemon enthusiast who grew up collecting every piece of merchandise related to the franchise, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming Pokemon x Crocs collaboration! I remember waiting in line for hours back in the day just to get my hands on a Pikachu plushie or card, and now I can add a pair of Charizard Crocs to my collection.

After debuting a Pikachu-themed Classic Clog earlier this year, a fresh lineup of shoes emulating beloved characters from the initial generation of Pokemon has now set its release date for October 17, 2024. Previously, Pokemon has collaborated with various footwear brands including Adidas, ASICS, Clarks, Converse, FILA, and PUMA.

Back in July, it was announced that Pokemon was teaming up with Crocs to release four new shoes adorned with popular characters such as Charizard and Snorlax. These shoes are expected to hit the market towards the year 2024. So, Pokemon enthusiasts won’t have to wait much longer to blend their passion for the Japanese series with their personal style.

The upcoming collection, available from the Crocs main store, Foot Locker, and other footwear stores, will feature four different designs that include Charizard, Gengar, and Snorlax, who are some of the strongest Generation 1 Pokemon, as well as Jigglypuff. The Charizard crocs feature a fiery orange pattern and a fire symbol Jibbitz charm, while the Gengar pair of shoes takes on a spooky purple and black vibe with a Ghost symbol Jibbitz. The charming Jigglypuff crocs sports a pink design that incorporates a Jigglypuff and star Jibbitz. Finally, the Normal-type Pokemon, Snorlax, comes in a calming blue and white hue and has a normal type symbol on the front of the crocs. The Pokemon crocs are available for $70 and also come in children’s sizes priced at $55.

This year in February, Crocs collaborated with Hello Kitty to mark the 50th anniversary of this famous character. The collaboration resulted in a special series of classic clogs showcasing the charming fictional character designed by Yuko Shimizu and the Sanrio company. However, it’s important to note that these aren’t official merchandise. A dedicated Pokémon fan has taken the liberty to design custom sneakers inspired by the popular, shimmering creatures found within the Pokémon universe, such as Gyrados, Yveltal, Groudon, Gigalith, Staraptor, Decidueye, Luxray, and Haxorus.

Not just Pokemon, but Fortnite is joining forces with Crocs as well. The upcoming shoes are inspired by Fortnite’s famous Battle Bus and feature a vibrant purple color with yellow warning symbols on the straps. These distinctive clogs will be available starting October 29 for $70.
