For Halloween, the UGG Candy Collection was launched with The Hershey Company and the Foot Locker family of brands, sharing three beloved styles for kids with candy-inspired designs. In the collection, there's the Classic Short and the Neumel styles for kids, plus the Bixbee silhouette for infants, all of which have elements that draw from iconic candy wrappers.
While the newly made-over Neumel style has been reimagined with sparkly metallic leather that reminds of Hershey's Kisses, the other styles incorporate the warm orange and brown tones from the Reese's peanut butter cup. In the UGG Candy Collection, the Classic boot has been reimagined with vibrant red suede that references the bright color of Twizzlers. All of the styles are lined in cozy UGGplush for extra warmth and comfort.
