‘Animal Crossing’ is getting a Crocs collab

8 July, 2025

Nintendo has announced details of Animal Crossing’s “first ever” collaboration with Crocs.

Due for release later this year, the crossover between cosy game Animal Crossing and cosy footwear brand Crocs will include a range of footwear and accessories.

“Crocs, a global leader in innovative casual footwear for women, men, and children, is launching a special collaboration with Nintendo,” reads a press release. “This new collection features elements inspired by the lush, natural setting from the game. From the green tone that represents the land to the sole and strap inspired by the sea, see if you can discover all the Animal Crossing moments throughout the design of the shoe.”

The collection includes Animal Crossing-inspired Platform Clogs, which will be available in North America for $69.99 while kids can grab the Animal Crossing Classic Clog for $54.99. “As opportunities for travel and fun outings arise, let these Crocs help you step into a relaxing, nature-filled world with your favorite characters right at your feet,” says the press release.

The collaboration will also include a range of Jibbitz charms, which can be used to customise Croc shoes. “Just like customising life on the island in the game, fans can decorate and personalise their own pair of Crocs with interchangeable charms—bringing the joy of Animal Crossing into their everyday routine.” These include fan-favourite characters Tom Nook, K.K. Slider, Timmy & Tommy, residents such as Rosie, Marshal and Bunnie as well as iconic in-game items.

The Animal Crossing Crocs range will launch August 26, 2025 in North America. It’s not yet known if the collab will be available elsewhere. Responding to the announcement on social media, one fan wrote: “This is what I’m gonna be wearing under my wedding dress.”

“I’ve never worn Crocs before but I am obsessed with these,” said another.  “So much cute Animal Crossing stuff lately must mean something is coming,” added a third fan.

The most recent Animal Crossing game New Horizons was launched back in 2020 and received a number of updates with the final one coming in November 2022. This summer, the cosy game has been popping up at Sea Life aquariums across the UK as part of an educational experience.

In other news, Nintendo has confirmed it is working on more film adaptations beyond the already announced Legend Of Zelda movie and the Super Mario Bros. sequel.
