Pokémon and Crocs work in collabroation once again as the two launch special iterations of the Classic Clog model. The silhouettes are set to launch online on June 10th and can be purchased online at Crocs. The Classic Clog serves as the canvas. It starts off with a black upper and then detailed with colored outlines of themed motifs.
This includes Pokéballs, and other characters. It highlights Pikachu, of course, along with Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur. The Jibbitz charms of the four starters add another layer to the base of the shoe. The black strap is comprised of the contrasting Pokémon logo. A white footbed has a comfortable wear and the other has a red, black, and white midsole and outsole unit.
