Do you love SPAM? How much? Do you go to bed saying, “I love you, SPAM,” to which SPAM replies, “I love you more, honey,” to which you reply, “No, I love you more, SPAM,” until the two of you fall asleep whisper-fighting over who loves the other one more? Because if not, this news might not be for you.

Can you hear them in the distance, plopping and squeaking closer to you? (Can you… smell them?)
They’re flip-flops… inspired by America’s favorite canned luncheon meat. Outdoor shoe brand OluKai collaborated with SPAM to bring us two different styles of “SPAM sandals.” Here’s what each style looks like:
- Musubi Edition: textured dark green “nori” straps and fleshy, SPAM-colored soles (a palette inspired by SPAM musubi)
- Heritage Colorway: styled after the iconic blue-and-yellow SPAM can
Basically, one looks like the food, the other looks like the can. My biggest question: How squishy do they feel? If you were to really stand on top of SPAM musubi, I just know it would be so squishy and soft. I desperately needs these flip-flops to mimic that.
Where and when can I buy these SPAM sandals?
These released on April 23, so you can buy them as soon as right now on their website if you so desire! Before you ask… they retail for $80. Yeah. Look, I think it’s a nice gift for a friend who loves SPAM. Which is better than what I had to say about the Costco SPAM Gift Set, by the way. Love you, Costco… but that was a rip-off.
Anyways, would you wear SPAM on your feet? Lemme know in the comments. Okay, toodles!!
