Kim Kardashian West, whether you love or hate her, has the uncanny ability to turn anything she touches into gold. Even if you think you're impervious to her influence, suddenly you find yourself wondering, "Wow, why do I suddenly want a pair of bike shorts?" and then you remember, because of Kim! Because of this, I regret to inform you all that KFC Crocs are officially cool because Kimmie has given them her stamp of approval.
Kim posted a video to her Instagram story with the viral shoes, and after seeing her with them, you'll honestly want a pair. In case you forgot, KFC and Crocs teamed up to create two pairs of clogs inspired by KFC's bucket of chicken. There is a pair of typical Crocs, which you'll be able to buy in the spring, and there is a pair of platform Crocs, saved for the chosen few like Kim.
Kim called the shoes "amazing," and even shouted out the fact that KFC is testing out plant-based Beyond Meat fried chicken because as all true fans know, Kim is mostly vegan. The star also clarified that she did indeed enjoy a chicken drumstick or two when she and husband Kanye West famously visited a Paris KFC recently. She says, though, that she's still on the plant-based train most of the time.
“I always eat vegan when I’m home. I went out and had KFC recently and it was amazing, but I don’t really eat meat all the time,” she said.
Luckily, KFC Crocs contain no meat (you can't actually eat the little fried-chicken Jibbitz on the top...) so Kim can enjoy them whether she's eating plant-based or not. Here's hoping we spot these shoes in a paparazzi pic soon. Until then, you'll just have to keep your eye on Crocs' website to see when you can get a pair for yourself...because God knows we all want one now.
