Cleverly piggybacking off the anticipation of the children’s-book-turned movie, UGG Australia (in collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures) is releasing a set of limited edition ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ UGGs for kids.
Themed around the book by Maurice Sendak and the upcoming movie directed by Spike Jonze, the ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ UGGs feature two designs. One features a golden crown, which is worn by the ruler and main character Max, and the other is illustrated with "the watchful eyes of the Wild Things staring through the woods," describes WWD.com.
Half of the retail proceeds from the ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ UGGs will go to UGG Autralia’s partner charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
