Pringles releasing Crocs-inspired flavor, Crocs releasing Pringles-holster shoes, world topsy-turvy

Pringles and Crocs are collaborating on a line of footwear inspired by the chips, and there are also chips inspired by the shoes. This is, somehow, not a prank, but a real thing that’s happening. Wild!

“Pringles’ first footwear collaboration delivers on what both of our brands do best, bringing ingenuity to fashion and flavor,” said Mauricio Jenkins, U.S. marketing lead for Pringles via a press release provided to Guilty Eats. “We brought the flavor of this vibrant partnership to life — literally, with Pringles Croc-Tail Party — and with a collection that allows fans to express their taste in snacks and fashion.”

Let’s talk about the new Pringles flavor first, because we are first and foremost a food site. The new flavor, Pringles Croc-Tail Party, thankfully does not taste like Crocs. Instead, the limited-edition chips are watermelon chili lime flavor, which sounds pretty great. The new Pringles will be available in stores everywhere starting on April 16, 2024, while supplies last.

“But how can I hold these chips in my shoes?” I’m sure you’re asking. Great question! The even bigger part of the collaboration is a whole line of Crocs and shoe charms inspired by Pringles, including a “Pringles x Crocs Classic Crush Boot with a custom Pringles can holster.”

“We’re ecstatic with how Crocs and Pringles both creatively became personified in fashion, flavor and whimsy,” said David Lee, Global Senior Director of Licensing & Culture for Kellanova. “Fans not only in North America, but all over the world in Europe, Asia and Latin America can experience this stacked collection.”

Along with the Pringles x Crocs Classic Crush Boot, you’ll get a package of Croc-Tail Party to holster into your Crocs, absolutely free.

Beyond these special shoes and chips, though, you can also grab an entire line inspired by Crocs, including some Jibbitz charms. Here are the official descriptions, via Pringles and Crocs:

• Pringles x Crocs Classic Clogs: Mr. P continues to pop up everywhere, including his mustache as the strap on these colorful clogs that are available in four mix-and-match colors, each symbolizing a fan-favorite Pringles flavor. The stylish red and orange clogs reflect the popular Pringles Original and Pringles Cheddar Cheese flavors, while the snazzy blue and green pair mirror Pringles Sour Cream & Onion and Pringles Salt & Vinegar, so fans can match their style to their favorite flavors.

• Pringles x Crocs Classic Slides: For a classic throwback, fans can rock slides featuring a retro black-and-white Mr. P design and the global snacking icon’s stylish mustache.

• Pringles x Crocs Jibbitz Charms: For even more flavorful features, fans can enhance their new look with five Pringles-themed Jibbitz charms including a classic Mr. P with a red bowtie, a 3D winking Mr. P, two cans of Pringles Original and Pringles Sour Cream & Onion, and a Pringles crisp.

The collection will all go on sale at 12 pm ET on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, at Crocs.shoes/PringlesCrocs, with prices starting at $20 (and up). The chips will be available to boot purchasers only, while supplies last.
