Kellanova’s frozen breakfast brand is introducing protein-packed Eggo Fully Loaded Waffles packed with 10 grams of protein per two-waffle serving in North America. But that’s not all. Alongside the latest waffle offerings comes the debut of a custom pair of sneakers — Eggo Fully Loaded Kicks.
Eggo Fully Loaded Chocolate Chip Brownie features a fudgy chocolate-filled batter and pockets of chocolate chips, while Eggo Fully Loaded Strawberry Delight delivers a “berrylicious” flavor burst from the sweet and subtly tart taste of strawberry flavor-infused batter. Ten-pack boxes are priced at $5.99.
“From satisfying their teens’ growing appetites to satisfying their teens’ growing fashion obsession, parents have a lot on their plate. We’re here to help them beat the chaos around what to eat and what to wear with a protein-packed collaboration both sneaker collectors and waffle superfans alike will be craving,” said Joe Beauprez, senior director of marketing for frozen foods at Chicago, Illinois-headquartered Kellanova. “Waffles are the original inspiration for the iconic sneaker soles of today, so it made perfect sense to kick off our launch with spectacular sneaks that pay homage to this delicious history.”
From Syrup Drip to Sneaker Drip
In a tribute to the historic waffle-sneaker connection and its influence on waffle-grid-patterned shoe soles, the brand is teaming up with sneakerhead legend and custom creator Dominic “The Surgeon” Ciambrone and SRGN to create the first-of-its-kind Eggo Fully Loaded Kicks.
Handcrafted in Los Angeles, these 100% custom waffle-grid-bottomed sneakers are infused with stylish details throughout. From a syrup drip to a syrup pouch, the Fully Loaded kicks were inspired by the two new flavors: bright pink Strawberry Delight and rich brown Chocolate Chip Brownie. The sneakers feature premium suede waffled leather in shades of chocolate brown or a tan caramel with pops of pink, and fillings inspired by each new flavor dripping down the midsole. For extra comfort, the collar includes added cushion to showcase the fluffiness of the waffles.
“I’m thrilled to be part of this innovative collaboration with Eggo to help bring the essence of Fully Loaded Waffles onto the canvas of a sneaker,” said Ciambrone, SRGN’s founder and creative director. “I grew up eating Eggo waffles for breakfast and throughout the years have seen how influential the waffle-grid soles have become in this industry, so I’m excited to put our own twist on this iconic brand.”

All proceeds from the sneaker sales will support No Kid Hungry, a national campaign dedicated to ending childhood hunger.
