In 2016, Trolli teamed up with Houston Rockets star James Harden to release the colorful Trolli Sour Brite Weird Beards, which have appeared regularly in my dreams over the past two years.
This year, the two are teaming up again to bring us the not-as-weird James Harden Collectors Edition Trolli Sour Brite Sneaks, which look like James Harden’s Adidas shoe. According to the press relese, the gummy candy features a Triple-Double Berry theme, playing off of Harden’s success with triple-doubles on the court, and color contrasts found in the real sneaker world.
While these don’t look weird, I do want to box them up and sell them on eBay with the title “Trolli James Harden 2018 Basketball Shoes Collectors Edition NEW Size 0.5 with Box.”
The gummy candy will be exclusively available at 7-Eleven beginning in March and then make its way to select retailers in May.
This looks peachy and a season too early. I thought peaches are a summer fruit. (Spotted by Michael P at Jewel Osco.)
