Hari Mari Relaunches Beloved Nokona Ballglove Collaboration in Honor of Glove Maker’s 100th Anniversary, Opening Day

Limited-Edition Flip Flop Returns After Four Sellouts, Celebrating Two Texas Brands Built on Craft and Legacy

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hari Mari, the premium footwear brand known for infusing color, comfort, and craftsmanship into its popular sandal lines, today announced the return of its highly sought-after collaboration flip flop with Nokona, the iconic Texas-based baseball glove maker, in celebration of Nokona’s 100th anniversary.

Originally introduced from 2017 to 2019 to overwhelming demand and four separate sell outs, the Nokona x Hari Mari collaboration flip flop makes its long-awaited return on March 15th, 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 ballglove 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 ballgloves 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 ballglove leather with Hari Mari’s comfortable, wear-anywhere design. Each sandal features Nokona ballglove 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.’
The Hari Mari x Nokona flip flop comes packaged in a custom magnetically-sealed box, complete with a branded duster bag and a specialty ballglove leather keychain. Pairs will retail for $170 beginning March 15th on HariMari.com and Nokona.com, along with select retailers.
