Imagine turning your favorite snack’s instantly recognizable packaging into wearable art. That’s exactly what’s happening with Colour-Lays, a playful, limited-edition sneaker collection created through a collaboration between Lay’s and actor Ranbir Kapoor’s fashion label ARKS. Taking the bold, vibrant hues of Lay’s chip packs and reimagining them as sneaker silhouettes, this drop bridges nostalgia, pop culture, and streetwear—a style snack worth savoring.
From Chips to Culture
The idea behind Colour-Lays wasn’t just creative—they wanted to ignite an emotional flashback by drawing on the vivid memory associated with Lay’s packaging. The campaign’s digital film captures a brainstorming session at ARKS headquarters, where inspiration struck when a basket of Lay’s packs sat on the table. “That’s it,” someone says—and voilà, culture in sneaker form was born.
Palette of Pop-Culture Nostalgia
Four signature Lay’s flavors directly translate into sneaker colors:
- 
Blue: Spanish Tomato Tango
 - 
Red: Magic Masala
 - 
Orange: Hot & Sweet Chilli
 - 
Neon Green: Cream & Onion
 
Each low-top sneaker features a minimalist base, letting those bold hues pop—embracing both ARKS’ design focus and Lay’s cultural footprint.
What ARKS & Lay’s Said
Abhinav Verma, Co-founder & CEO of ARKS, summed up the essence:
