Following their debut collaboration in February, Naruto and Crocs are teaming up once again to make Classic Clogs for four more characters from the “Shippuden” anime series.
Jiraiya, Sasuke, Itachi and Minato each get a version of the Classic Clog taking after their looks and abilities. Each is closer to the Classic Clogs’ typical construction than the previous two editions for Naruto and Kakashi, which featured a padded heel strap and pockets.
Jiraiya
Jiraiya’s Classic Clog starts with a white sole and features a printed upper invoking his vest and gi, while a silver charm mirrors his metal headband. Charms then portray several version of the character, as well as his geta sandals, Toad Summoning Scroll, toad companion Gamabunta and throwing star.

Sasuke
Sasuke’s pair appears without graphics but rather has a purple upper inspired by his outfit to go along with a pink rope modeled after his obi belt. Charms include the Uchiha clan crest, his Mangekyou Sharingan eye and a throwing star.
Itachi’s clogs put red clouds across a dark blue upper and features the Hidden Leaf metal headpand . Jibbitz include his Sharingan and a chibi Itachi, and his own throwing star.
Rounding out the quartet is Minato’s predomaaintly white variant with a red flame print pulled from his cloak and another Hidden Leaf metal headband. Charms include his kunai knife, the “Fourth Hokage” kanji and his shuriken.
All four of the Classic Clogs also host the “Naruto: Shippuden” logo on the insole.
The latest “Naruto” x Classic Clog series will releases June 6 through Crocs and select third-party reatilers. Pricing is set at $70 for each of the clogs.
