Limited-edition Crocs Clogs have made an appearance on fashion runways before and this season, Crocs collaborated with KFC on a pair of shoes for New York Fashion Week. The Kentucky Fried Chicken x Crocs Clogs boast an all-over fried chicken pattern and include stripes across the bottom portion of the shoes to pay tribute to the pattern of the chain's iconic red and white striped bucket.
There are two versions of the limited-edition footwear design, one that takes the form of a towering platform style worn by artist Me Love Me a Lot (MLMA) during NYFW events and the Fried Chicken x Crocs Classic Clog—fortunately for fans of the fried chicken chain and the comfortable shoes, the latter will be available to purchase as of spring 2020.
