To advertise the shoes, Crocs is featuring a collaboration video that went along with a February magazine spread from PAPER, an independent fashion, art and pop culture news outlet. The avant-garde video shows South Korean Instagram star MeLoveMeAlot frying up the two versions of the KFC Crocs.
The 4.5-inch platform Bucket Clogs are not available for purchase at this time.
For every pair of the new Crocs sold, KFC will donate $3 to the KFC Foundation’s REACH Educational Grant Program, which helps the company fund scholarships for KFC employees at participating U.S. restaurants.
