Perhaps inspired by last year's collaboration between Allbirds and Shake Shack, Whataburger has entered the sneaker game with its new Whataburger Custom Running Shoes. With these fresh new kicks, you'll be able to get to your favorite burger chain a little bit faster.
The Whataburger Custom Running Shoes are bright orange sneakers emblazoned with the chain’s flying W logo on either side. The new shoes are available in both men's and women's sizes for a little over $40. The new shoes are also part of a bigger collection of Whataburger merchandise that includes socks, bow ties, pillows, and doormats.
This is not the first time Whataburger has dabbled in merch. In the past, the chain has also offered a Whataburger PEZ dispenser and Christmas tree ornaments.
