Remember when Puma tried to sell those faux In-N-Out sneakers that weren't actually sanctioned by In-N-Out? Yeah... that didn't go so well.
Now, the SoCal-based fast food company has released a legit branded sneaker and it's a slip-on instead of a lace-up.

The Drink Cup Shoes, which retail for $64.95 on In-N-Out's site, are described on the company's site as a "classic and cool" polycanvas slip-on with a rubber outsole. They feature In-N-Out's "iconic drink cup design" and "are finished with our logo on the heel and red removable insoles with our logo printed in white."

Translation: They look like a pair of white Vans slip-ons with a bunch of red squiggles and palm trees on the front, a red ring near the base and the In-N-Out logo at the heel. And yes, we would wear them. In fact, we will definitely need a pair to test, strictly for research purposes, of course.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
