Earlier this month we reported that Denny's, the 24-hour diner and breakfast restaurant, is expected to close several locations before the end of 2025. While that might still prove to be true, there is no indication that the eatery is going out of business. Denny's is now getting into the sneaker game.

According to Diner Drip, National Syrup Day is Wednesday December 17th, which makes it the perfect date to launch the first ever sneakers made with real syrup.

The Sticky Kicks drop on December 17at 12 Noon, exclusively at DinerDrip.com. Only a select few fans will get to claim this limited edition status symbol. Denny’s Rewards members will get first access with a special code to unlock the site and place their order an hour earlier than anyone else.

Guests who are not yet Rewards members can sign up now at Denny's Rewards. Sticky Kicks will be available in adult men’s sizes 8-13 and retail for $195. *Do not puncture the shoes or eat the syrup from the shoes for any reason. These drips are for style only, so leave it that way.
