KFC Is Selling Fried Chicken-Scented Crocs, and We Need at LEAST Three Pairs
Updated: Jul. 28, 2020
The Crocs smell just like a bucket of fried chicken. (Seriously.)
All bias and personal opinions aside, KFC is hands down the best restaurant to cure our chicken fried cravings. We put that secret blend of 11 herbs and spices on everything—spaghetti, savory muffins, you name it. Over the years, KFC has really hit their stride in terms of wacky advertising, like KFC firelogs that smell just like a bucket of their heavenly chicken, but filling your house with the scent of fried chicken just isn’t enough.
Now you can indulge in the savory smell of KFC all the time…on your feet. KFC Crocs are here, and they’re all we’re wearing this summer.
These Look Finger Lickin’ Good
KFC and Crocs have officially teamed up to create a pair of shoes fit for the KFC lover in your life. They come in just one style, regular, like the typical Crocs you’ll find in stores (as opposed to the Bucket Clogs featured in PAPER magazine). KFC Crocs come totally decked out in a fried chicken design and those classic white and red stripes we all know.
What’s even better is the KFC Crocs are topped with mini drumsticks on the top of each shoe called Jibbitz. The Jibbitz are scented and totally removable, y’know, just in case you’re going for a more professional look when you wear these to the office.
So why isn’t KFC called Kentucky Fried Chicken anymore? We found out.
They’re Bound to Sell Out Fast
KFC Crocs are on sale on Crocs’ official website today, beginning at 12 p.m. EST. The regular Crocs retail for around $59.99, so we expect the KFC Crocs to have a similar price tag.
The KFC Firelog sold out almost immediately last Christmas, so we have no doubts that the Crocs will fly off the shelves. Make sure to snag a pair as soon as they go on sale! In the meantime, indulge in a bucket of copycat KFC at home with our Crispy Fried Chicken recipe.
