While Crocs can venture into the world of avant-garde fashion and technical-focused designs, its bread and butter is its pop culture collaborations on the Classic Clog silhouette. Marking yet team-up with Pokémon, Crocs is hosting a battle on the model as Charizard and Blastoise face off on the Classic Clog.
The mismatched design features a gradient from black to orange on the right clog and black to blue on the left, each showcasing the primary color of their respective Pokémon on the medial side. Charizard is outlined via a graphic pattern on the Croslite foam upper, while his fire-type power is displayed via a Jibbitz charm of fire and of Charizard himself, as well as the flame pattern on the midsole and sports mode strap.
Blastoise also gets the same design motifs, featuring a graphic pattern featuring its outline, the Pokémon itself depicted on a Jibbitz charm, and the water type symbol placed nearby on the toebox. The midsole and sports mode strap are redone to reflect Blastoise's water power, though beneath these added designs is the traditional Croslite foam construction. Final details on both clogs include the Pokémon text on the heel, Pokeballs on the buttons holding the sports mode strap in place, and a tonal black outsole.
The Pokémon x Crocs Classic Clog Charizard vs. Blastoise just released overseas via German retailer BSTN, but the pair is expected to drop via Crocs and other retailers later in 2025. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $70. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, news, and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
