Hari Mari announced the return of its highly sought-after collaboration flip-flop with Nokona, the Texas-based baseball glove maker, in celebration of Nokona’s 100th anniversary.
Originally introduced from 2017 to 2019 to overwhelming demand and four separate sellouts, the Nokona x Hari Mari collaboration flip-flop makes its long-awaited return ahead of Major League Baseball’s Opening Day.
The updated release features Nokona’s proprietary, full-grain American Steerhide paired with Hari Mari’s signature comfort-first flip-flop construction, offered in two classic ball-glove leather colors, inspired by Nokona’s heritage glove models: generation (tan) and walnut (rich brown).
“It felt only right to bring this collaboration back for Nokona’s 100th anniversary,” said Hari Mari CEO Jeremy Stewart. “The response and demand for our first collaboration sandal was incredible. Six years later, it’s still one of our most requested flip-flops. We’re honored to offer this new and updated version of the collab to customers, while also marking Nokona’s century-long history of American-made excellence. Nokona makes the best ball gloves in the market, bar none. And, we’re proud to partner with them on what we think is the best flip-flop in the market.”
The limited-edition flip-flop blends Nokona’s storied ball-glove leather with Hari Mari’s comfortable, wear-anywhere design. Each sandal features Nokona ball-glove leather footbeds and straps, and design details true to Nokona’s rich history, including baseball diamond-shaped outsole treads and its heritage logo.
“Nokona’s longevity is a testament to the quality of our products, and the great people in Nocona, Texas, who make them,” said Nokona CEO Jeff Beraznik. “Our leathers stand the test of time, and we know fans of the Nokona brand are going to love the relaunch of this new collaboration flip-flop with Hari Mari.”
