In what seems like the world’s strangest (and possibly most disturbing) collaboration, Kentucky Fried Chicken teamed up with Crocs (yes, the shoe brand) to make…fried chicken-inspired footwear.
The footwear comes with chicken-scented drumstick charms. Yes, charms, which sit atop the shoe. And smell like fried chicken.
Business Insider reports that these absurd things were unveiled at Fashion Week in New York City, where Me Love Me a Lot (MLMA), the artist, wore them proudly.

In what must surely be a joke (but isn’t), Andrea Zahumensky, the chief marketing officer of KFC US, said, “Combining the unmistakable look of our world-famous fried chicken and signature KFC bucket with the unparalleled comfort and style of Crocs, these shoes are what fried chicken footwear dreams are made of.”

There are so many levels of WTF here, and Twitter’s thankfully got that covered:
There are so many things wrong with this that they all cancel each other out and this is perfectly normal.

For sixty dollars. SIXTY actual dollars.
#KFC and #Crocs have joined forces for a playful take on the Classic Clog that celebrates the signature Kentucky Fried Chicken. Expect it to arrive sometime this Spring for $60 USD.

Most people felt this way:
I would want to punch someone wearing these. I wouldn’t, but I’d want to.

Hard same.
And here I thought that Crocs couldn’t come up with a design that was uglier than what they currently have…
