If you were wondering why Tom Nook has been quiet for a while, it's because he's clearly been in meetings with the bigwigs at Nintendo and working on his latest business idea. Yes, Nintendo and Crocs have put their heads together for the first time to create a pair of Crocs that tropical island dwellers would be proud to wear, and they come with a set of Jibbetz that Animal Crossing fans will collect faster than we got the original 151 Pokemon back in the 90s!
Looking at these Crocs takes me straight back to sinking 250 hours into Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It also takes me back to every other game I've played in the series since the GameCube too, a wholesome shoe filled with nostalgia and, in a few months time, my feet too.
The design of these crocs perfectly captures island life, with the forest orchards that we use to make money in Timmy and Tommy's shop to the oceans that we go swimming in to get creatures for our aquariums... and to also sell to Timmy and Tommy. Are these shoes going to help us make money in their shop too? I mean there is a Bell Bag Jibbet after all, so it's possible...
This new collection is set to drop on Tuesday the 26th of August, 2025 and comes with some brilliantly themed Jibbitz to show off while you're locked into speed mode and running for the bus. Stick Tom Nook. KK Slider, Isabelle, and more characters onto your Crocs to customise them in your own way, and share the joy of Animal Crossing with miserable people on their way to work.
The Animal Crossing Crocs come in both adults and childrens sizes, with prices varying between $54.99 - 69.99. Jibbetz sets will cost $16.99. For more information, head to the Crocs website!
