Burger-Inspired Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Carl's Jr. & Hardee's Created Custom Sneakers with The Shoe Surgeon

— April 20, 2021 — Lifestyle
Dominic Ciambrone, better known as The Shoe Surgeon, recently collaborated with a burger brand for the first time and created a custom pair of burger-inspired sneakers to celebrate the returning Steakhouse Angus Thickburger. Inspired by the flavor of the burger that is returning for a limited time, the custom-made Angus Kicks feature a chunky style and even a small spot to stash condiment packets.

To mark the return of the coveted burger stacked with a seasoned one-third pound 100% Angus beef patty, A.1. Sauce, bacon and cheese, the custom sneakers are set to be raffled off to a pair of lucky fans. Proceeds from the raffle will go towards supporting Stars for Heroes, the annual fundraising campaign from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's for military-focused organizations.
