Crocs has expanded its upcoming Pokemon footwear line with new character clogs for Pikachu, Gengar, and Jigglypuff arriving this November as part of the franchise thirtieth anniversary celebrations.
Crocs is leaning further into gaming culture with a fresh wave of footwear designs tied to the massive Pokemon franchise. Following the initial reveal of the Poke Ball clog, the footwear brand has unveiled three character specific designs featuring Pikachu, Gengar, and Jigglypuff. The Pikachu and Gengar standard clogs are priced at $79.99, while the Jigglypuff platform version comes in at $84.99. Each design features themed side patterns like lightning bolts or musical notes alongside metallic brand logos on the ankle straps, with an estimated launch date of November 16.
This footwear lineup forms just one piece of a much larger rollout celebrating three decades of Pokemon. Major brands are lining up for the milestone anniversary, including recent sneaker collections from Puma and an upcoming wide scale release from Adidas this September. On the gaming front, the community is looking ahead to the generation ten release titled Winds and Waves arriving on the Switch 2 in 2027, alongside cozy spin-offs and constant updates to the enduring trading card game ecosystem.
For players who want to deck out their current footwear immediately, a dedicated collection of Pokemon themed Jibbitz is already available for purchase. While preorders are not live yet, fans can sign up for text and email notifications on the official Crocs site to secure their pairs when they drop. As gaming crossovers continue to dominate streetwear and physical merchandise spaces, this latest collaboration gives fans another tangible way to rep their favorite pocket monsters in daily life.
