WASHINGTON — Denny’s is taking the thought of “drip” very actually.

To rejoice Nationwide Maple Syrup Day on Dec. 17, America’s Diner is launching Sticky Kicks, limited-edition high-top sneakers made with actual Denny’s syrup sealed contained in the shoe. 

The over-the-top kicks have been created in collaboration with footwear artist Dan Gamache, higher referred to as Mache, and are designed to be a enjoyable tribute to the topping that’s been fueling Denny’s Grand Slams for many years. 

Every pair contains a clear panel full of actual syrup, syrup-colored patent leather-based, tumbled yellow accents and a Denny’s brand embossed on the heel.

“Sticky Kicks are impractical, pointless, and utterly excessive, which is precisely why we love them,” Ellie Doty, senior vice chairman and chief model officer at Denny’s mentioned. “At Denny’s, syrup isn’t simply one thing we serve. It’s a part of who we’re. It’s our golden thread. So, it solely is sensible we’d be the primary to show it into style.”

Mache mentioned the venture leaned into each craftsmanship and absurdity. “Sticky Kicks was simply the correct mix of over-the-top theming and sustaining the excessive requirements of supplies and fabrications that our sneakers are recognized for,” he mentioned, including that the syrup-filled design made for some “sticky moments” throughout its analysis and growth phases.

“Creating this true collector’s shoe is one thing we’re all so happy with,” he added.

Denny’s says the discharge is a part of its ongoing effort to mix diner tradition with popular culture in sudden methods, and to show that syrup isn’t only for pancakes anymore.

The announcement does include one necessary disclaimer. The syrup within the shoe will not be edible. Denny’s strongly advises towards puncturing the footwear or making an attempt to get a style.
