I was going to give away the awesome Adidas shoes below (created in watermelon colors as a special World Cup edition) as this month’s prize, but I couldn’t find them for sale anywhere online. Frustrating, I know. They would have made a great prize and a great addition to my own shoe collection.
So I decided to give away a pair of the super-cool Vans watermelon shoes seen below (available in Vans’ iconic Chukka, Era and Slip-on styles). But alas, I could not find them either. Really, I tried. I pride myself on my stellar web-searching skills, but I was stumped. If anyone finds the Adidas or Vans shoes for sale, let me know!
Determined to find something watermelon-related in footwear, I finally discovered the watermelon socks pictured below. Technically they’re women’s “cycling/running socks” but I’m guessing you could wear them around the house or any old time. I’ll choose one comment from all the comments left here on What About Watermelon in July to receive this cozy prize. Actually, make that TWO comments. What the heck… it’s National Watermelon Month.

Ahhh I hope you find those Vans somewhere online because I absolutely love them and want to order them myself!! Great finds!
I know! If you happen to find either pair of shoes before I do, leave a comment!
Bummer, the Adidas or Vans shoes are so cool and would’ve made a stupendous prize. We’ll keep looking for them and leave a comment if/when we find them. The socks are cool too. I can see them on my feet. COOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!
It looks like they were special editions released last year that obviously sold out fast because they are amazing! Watermelon is my favorite color mix … ahh to be wearing those during Watermelon month.
Keep looking Ellen and let me know if you find them! And I agree with Lizzy about the watermelon “color mix.” I guess I never thought about it before but i find myself drawn to things that are red and green too!
I just used melon trace for the first time. Which led me to your blog. Great idea, kudoos to you for sharing. I hope you had a great National Watermelon month! I love the socks and shoes! Watermelon season is the best.
