UGG first launched its Fluff Yeah fuzzy slides in the summer of 2018 and it is now introducing a series of all-new Pride Fluff Yeah styles for the month of June. For Pride Month, the footwear brand is launching the Pride Rainbow Yellow and Pride Rainbow Purple designs, which create a full rainbow together when their warm and cool tones are combined. UGG is also releasing a white, blue and pink Pride Stripes version that references the colors of the transgender flag.
The colorful, slipper-like fuzzy slides for all were created to show support for the LGBTQ+ community and UGG will be donating $25 to the Born This Way Foundation for each of the fluffy shoe styles that are sold.
