Kizik and JET-PUFFED Launch New S'mores Shoe to Celebrate National S'mores Day

Aug 8, 2023

Press Release• Aug 8, 2023 04:00 MDT Limited-Edition Kizik Shoe Fuses Proprietary Hands-Free Technology With the Look and Feel of a JET-PUFFED Roasted Marshmallow CHICAGO, PITTSBURGH & SALT LAKE CITY, August 8, 2023 (Newswire.com) - JET-PUFFED, the leading marshmallow brand known for its puffy and fluffy marshmallows, has partnered with Kizik, the industry leader in hands-free footwear, to launch the first-ever S'mores Shoe ahead of National S'mores Day on Aug. 10. This ultra-cushy Kizik shoe highlights the hue of a perfectly toasted JET-PUFFED marshmallow, transitioning from a white sole to a golden-brown top. Comfortable and durable, the S'mores Shoe features a puffy, quilted upper with foam padding throughout to create a soft, marshmallowy texture, capturing the essence of this beloved campfire treat. "At JET-PUFFED, we take s'mores season very seriously as we aim to bring light and fluffy enjoyment to family and friends around the campfire," said Christina Brown, Associate Brand Manager at JET-PUFFED. "With nearly 40 million bags of our marshmallows sold over the summer season, the S'mores Shoe is a sweet treat for your feet — reminding you that JET-PUFFED marshmallows are the perfect ingredient for your summer s'mores." The hands-free innovation built into the S'mores Shoe is one of more than 180 patents held by Kizik's parent company HandsFree Labs. This unmatched shoe-entry technology allows you to step right in without using your hands — just what you need when your fingers are covered in gooey marshmallow goodness. "While comfort and hands-free are the top priorities at Kizik, we're constantly looking for ways to create unique, limited-edition footwear," said Blake Brown, Kizik VP of Brand and Creative. "Working with JET-PUFFED has been a tremendous partnership. We share a commitment to enhancing everyday experiences and making life's little moments more enjoyable. We can't wait to see the new S'mores Shoe around the campfire this summer." Starting today, the JET-PUFFED x Kizik S'mores Shoe is available exclusively on  kizik.com/jetpuffed for $119 in women's sizes 6-14.5 and men's 4.5-13, while supplies last.
