American Girl and Crocs Join Forces on Matching Shoes

— June 9, 2025 — Pop Culture
American Girl and Crocs work in collaboration to bring a personal sense of nostalgia and style. The two offer a new way to connect with dolls, creating the matching clog collection for kids and dolls. It comes in a soft pearly white base foundation and rests on a berry-toned heel strap with star emblems for details.

What makes the shoe stand out even more are the six Jibbitz charms, which are all designed as a nod to the American Doll brand. Some of these include the star logo, the brand's monogram motif, a hair bow, a shopping bag, a pin of a girl reading, and a teacup. Notably, this is the first time that Crocs has designed clogs for the dolls.
