Mobile Suit Gundam Shares First Look at Crocs Collab
Following in Naruto's footsteps, the Gundam franchise is getting into the Crocs business with some new shoes.
In 2024, the likes of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Kakashi received their own line of anime-influenced Crocs. The shoes have long been a comfortable alternative for many and now it appears that Mobile Suit Gundam has created their own pair. The popular mech series unveiled the new Crocs at this year's Anime Expo and also revealed details regarding how you can get your hands on the anime-themed shoes. As the Gundam series continues to churn out new anime adaptations to this day, it should come as no surprise that new merchandise is being revealed.
The Mobile Suit Gundam series recently saw some serious success thanks to its latest series, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury.
