The collaboration is set to launch in Spring 2026 and will feature a wide range of products that combine the best of both worlds – Hershey’s signature sweets and Ground Up’s footwear expertise. The collection will include Hershey’s famous chocolates, like Hershey’s Kisses, Reese’s, Twizzlers, and Jolly Ranchers, alongside footwear styles inspired by these iconic treats.
What makes this collection even more exciting? The designs will have interactive components, adding an extra layer of fun for fans. While the footwear styles will stay true to Hershey’s primary colour palette, they promise to bring a playful and eye-catching element to your wardrobe.
Bringing Joy Through Innovation
In a joint statement, both Hershey and Ground Up expressed their shared mission to bring moments of joy to fans around the world. "Ground Up and The Hershey Company share a mission to bring more goodness into the world by creating moments of joy for fans,” they said. “Through this collaboration, fans can expect innovative designs and playful experiences that blend their favourite sweets with stylish, eye-catching footwear.”

A Sweet Collaboration to Look Forward To
As if this sweet partnership wasn't exciting enough, the timing also coincides with Hershey's leadership change.

While changes in leadership are on the horizon, the company’s collaboration with Ground Up is a sign of the brand's ongoing commitment to bringing joy and creativity to its fans.
