We weren’t even two whole months into 2020 when these Kentucky Fried Chicken Crocs appeared out of nowhere and assaulted your eyeballs. If you made it this far without seeing them, I’m sorry, but if I have to look at these fried-chicken clogs, then you do too. The collab was officially announced way back in February (feels like three lifetimes ago, tbh), but they were available for purchase as of Tuesday afternoon for $59.99…and are now, inexplicably, sold out.

In case you’re wondering, yes, the red-and-white soles are supposed to resemble a fried chicken bucket, and YES, those are, in fact, drumstick “jibbitz” attached to them that are “chicken-scented.” What exactly are “jibbitz,” you ask? They’re those lil decorative attachments you can insert into the holes of your Crocs for extra flair.

Another frightening surprising thing is there was also a PLATFORM version. But according to Crocs, this style was not available for purchase and was simply used for promotional purposes.

“As Crocs continues to create new, unexpected brand collaborations, we’re thrilled with this ‘bucket list’ partnership with Kentucky Fried Chicken that will bring fans an unbelievably fun and fashionable take on our classic clog,” said Terence Reilly, Crocs SVP and CMO, in a press release. Between this release and the fact that Crocs sales on Amazon were up a casual 12 million percent(??!?!), the brand is really going all in on its, uh, unique marketing.

If you were one of the people who *really* wanted a pair of these chicken clogs and missed out on your chance, better luck next time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
