What is in the collection

Three models form the core, and on each of them the character is the whole design rather than an add-on.

Classic Clog "Pikachu", SKU 213601-90H. A yellow clog with Pikachu's face stretched across the toe box, red cheeks and ears reaching towards the strap. Jagged lightning runs along the midsole, and a contrasting black strap breaks up the bright yellow.

Classic Clog "Gengar", SKU 213600-90H. A purple version with the familiar grin and eyes worked into the upper. Instead of lightning there are wisps of ghostly fog in red and pink, a nod to the ghost and poison typing.

Classic Platform Clog "Jigglypuff", SKU 213869-90H. The only pair on a platform and the only one with extra room along the sides, used here for treble clefs, musical notes and stars referencing the character's lullaby. Pink with lighter graphics.

The common thread is simple: a two-tone base, a face on the toe and a midsole motif matching the Pokémon's type. The details tying it together sit on the heel strap, where Poké Balls and a glossy Pokémon logo appear.

Ahead of these came the Classic Clog "Poké Ball", SKU 212064-90H. A red and white clog with a black band imitating the Poké Ball's button, sold with four Jibbitz charms: Eevee, Pikachu, Psyduck and an "I Choose You!" piece.

When it releases

The Poké Ball Classic Clog goes on sale 28 August 2026.

Pikachu, Gengar and Jigglypuff are expected on 16 November 2026. The date briefly appeared on retailer calendars as 11 November before being pulled. Crocs has not confirmed it in an official announcement and does not list it on the product page, so it could still move.

Pricing and sizing

All figures are for the US market:

Classic Clog "Pikachu", adult sizing: $79.99
Classic Clog "Pikachu", grade school sizing: $54.99
Classic Clog "Gengar", adult sizing: $79.99
Classic Platform Clog "Jigglypuff", women's sizing: $84.99
Classic Clog "Poké Ball": $69.99 adult, $54.99 kids, $49.99 toddler

Jigglypuff is the only platform pair, hence the higher price, and the only one in women's rather than unisex sizing. So far only Pikachu has a kids' version, with Gengar and Jigglypuff announced in adult sizes only.

The collection also carries Pokémon Jibbitz charms, sold individually and in packs of five.

Where and how to buy

Sales run through crocs.com and selected retail partners. In the US, Dick's Sporting Goods is confirmed both online and in store.

There is no pre-order, and none of the models can be reserved. The only move available today is signing up for an availability notification on the product page in the Crocs store. On previous anime and gaming collaborations that mailing list decided who got in before sizes sold out.

For a UK buyer the position is this: Crocs has given no information on dates or availability in Europe, and every confirmed date and price applies to the US. On earlier Pokémon x Crocs releases, European distribution has run behind the US or arrived with a narrower size range.

So it is worth watching the Crocs store alongside the retailers in the Soleback programme:

BSTN, up to 5 percent back
Solebox, up to 4.5 percent back
Sneakersnstuff, up to 3 percent back
size?, up to 2.5 percent back
Offspring, up to 1.5 percent back
END., up to 3.5 percent back

The click through Soleback needs to be the last one before the shop, and cashback lands after the returns window closes.

Context

Crocs has been working with The Pokémon Company since autumn 2022, across several drops. Earlier pairs drew on Charizard, Snorlax, Gengar and Jigglypuff, alongside a run of Jibbitz charms covering Pokémon from various generations.

This year's delivery sits inside the wider campaign for the franchise's 30th anniversary, counting from 1996. The same year brings an anniversary trading card set and Pokémon GO events, while adidas and PUMA have already had their turns.
