Die-hard pickle fans will be delighted to hear that Grillo's Pickles has just debuted the first-ever pair of pickle sneakers. As you might have guessed, the new kicks have been dubbed 'The Pickle.'
The Pickle is a pair of pickle-themed sneakers created by Grillo's Pickles. The idea for the sneakers came from Grillo's Pickles' CEO Travis Grillo after he was turned down for a job as a sneaker designer at Nike. Intent on making his own sneaker dream come true, Grillo created the first-ever pair of pickle sneakers. And these aren't simply a pair of green kicks. As Grillo explains, the clear soles represent the brand's use of farmer's market-styled jars, while the green suede represents the use of organic dill. Grillo's famous logo, Sam, Sam the Pickle Man, is even stitched onto the back of each shoe so that everyone will know how seriously you take your pickles.
