Crocs and Super Mario Team Up for Bowser Clog With Spikes
The Bowser design is the most literal character translation Crocs has attempted, with functional spikes that make the shoe look painful to wear.
Reporting from 1 sources: KAI-YOU.
Crocs will release a line of Super Mario-themed clogs and sandals on July 16, 2026, marking the first time the brand has offered adult-sized Mario collaboration items. The lineup includes Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser models, with the Bowser clog featuring seven spikes on each side and five on the back strap.
The Bowser clog is the standout in the lineup. Seven spikes are fixed on each side of the shoe, and five more sit on the back strap. Crocs is not known for sharp protrusions, so the design reads as a deliberate joke about the character's shell. The Mario model is more restrained: a red hat motif on the upper and yellow overall buttons on the heel cup. The Peach clog gets glittery thick soles and comes only in women's sizes. Yoshi's clog has a dorsal fin. All models ship with exclusive Jibbitz charms, and separate charm packs will be sold alongside the shoes.
