Crocs and Konami have revealed a new line of clogs inspired by the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game and anime series.
The collaboration was shown off in a display case ahead of this year's Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship in Tokyo. The line will seemingly include four new pairs of Crocs, two standard and two in the Echo style, each of which is themed after specific characters and cards. Those attending the World Championship also got a look at a new limited-edition Yu-Gi-Oh card themed after the collection.
The Crocs website has a section dedicated to the collaboration, but individual listings have yet to appear. Konami and Crocs have yet to confirm a wide release date or pricing, but some outlets are reporting a potential release in September.

The four Crocs shown off at the World Championship can be seen above. The two standard Clogs are themed after Yugi Mutou, the show’s main character, and his rival Seto Kaiba. The colorways are largely inspired by their respective outfits, Decks, and, of course, Yugi’s iconic hair.
The Echo clogs have quite a bit more dimension, and are both themed after specific cards that also make appearances in the original anime. One pair takes its purple inspiration from the Dark Magician. The other is inspired by none other than the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Seto’s go-to creature and one of the most valuable cards in real life.
Promotional images also suggest the collaboration will feature a line of Jibbitz, including accessories modeled after straight-up Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Yu-Gi-Oh really committed to the Crocs collab

Speaking of cards, the Crocs-themed card that was shown off at the convention is simply titled ‘Crocodile,’ a Reptile/Normal card with 1300 ATK and 1300 DEF. Fun fact: Crocs have exactly 13 holes in them. Images posted online don’t appear to show any special card effects, but it could be an interesting grab for collectors.
At this point, there’s no word on whether the card will be available for purchase or included as part of the Crocs collection.
Crocs has truly been going full LEGO mode with the collaborations, including Animal Crossing, Super Mario, and over the next couple of months, Pokemon-themed clogs. They’re not the only shoes looking to franchises, either - a Pokemon x Adidas collaboration is dropping in early September, while Nike just revealed a new One Piece collection.
