Crocs has teamed up with The Pokémon Company to offer more official versions of its shoes.

Following the Pikachu-themed Classic Clog released earlier this year, four more variants are due to arrive this year based on Gen 1 favourites Gengar, Charizard, Snorlax, and Jigglypuff.

Each design features a Jibbitz charm to go with its colour scheme, as well as Pokéball logos on the straps. I hate them all.

News of the collaboration was shared by Sole Retriever and while the release date is unknown beyond 2024, each shoe design costs $70.

"This new pack promises to captivate fans of both brands, merging the playful essence of Pokémon with the comfort and style of Crocs," reads the post. "Style" seems like a stretch.

Perhaps these garish, jellified shoes are your thing, but I can't think of anything worse to put on my feet, let alone wear them in public. Pokémon Crocs, I choose... none of you.

Still, Pokémon merchandise always seems to sell well, and the exclusive card at the Van Gogh Museum caused quite the furore.
