In an exciting turn of events for sneaker enthusiasts and fast-food aficionados alike, Whataburger has announced a unique giveaway that merges the worlds of fashion and fast food in an unprecedented way. The famed burger chain is offering a chance to win a pair of custom Air Jordan 3 sneakers designed by the renowned Jake Danklefs, a craftsman known for his extraordinary custom footwear designs. This announcement, which has stirred considerable buzz, marks a creative collaboration between the iconic Jordan brand and Whataburger, celebrated for its distinctive orange-and-white striped brand motif.
This isn't the first time Jake and Whataburger have teamed up on a custom Jordan sneaker. Back in 2017, the two came together on an Air Jordan 1 High custom pictured below.
The giveaway, originally running from March 25th through the 31st, presented a tantalizing opportunity for fans and collectors. According to the sweepstakes terms, the custom sneakers boast an impressive valuation of $1,200, suggesting a design and craftsmanship level that surpasses ordinary expectations.
For those eager to throw their hat in the ring, participating in the giveaway is straightforward. Contestants can enter by simply placing an online order with Whataburger during the giveaway period, seamlessly integrating the chance to win into the customer experience. Alternatively, for those who prefer not to make a purchase or cannot access online ordering, the sweepstakes offers an entry option via mail, ensuring that all interested parties have a fair shot at snagging these exclusive kicks.

This unique promotional stunt not only highlights Whataburger's innovative approach to engaging with its customer base but also underscores the growing trend of food and fashion collaborations. By partnering with a high-profile designer like Jake Danklefs to reimagine a classic like the Air Jordan 3, Whataburger taps into a new avenue of brand expression, blending the allure of limited-edition sneakers with the universal appeal of fast food. As the giveaway unfolds, the anticipation builds, with fans and sneakerheads alike waiting with bated breath to see the final design of these custom sneakers and to find out who will be the lucky recipients of this one-of-a-kind footwear.
