The entrée is a special FX-33 sneaker, a basketball-inspired kick that features a mid-cut design and flaunts a color blend of the chain’s vibrant orange and brown hues against FILA’s signature off-white.

Adding to the sneaker’s unique flavor is a special tag placed on the shoelaces, which is made from crackled leather that subtly evokes the textures of Burger King's char-grilled cooking surfaces. The style is further personalized with a removable flag, inviting wearers to customize their pair and make a distinct statement.

Sides can be ordered up in the form of accessories like a shoulder bag, a bucket hat, a cap, and socks, all sporting a unique flame-grilled-esque twist.

The campaign, concocted by advertising agency DAVID São Paulo, spins a tale of transformation, turning Burger King’s iconic Whopper into a high-fashion item. The narrative follows a curious character who, after subjecting the sandwich to intense heat, emerges with the innovative FX-33 sneaker.
