Girl Scouts and K-Swiss have partnered to turn some of our favorite cookies into sneakers.

The Girl Scout x K-Swiss Court 66 collab honors the Scouts’ heritage — and their iconic Thin Mints, Coconut Caramel, and Trefoils cookies.

The Coconut Caramel shoe is designed in a hairy suede with soft-touch side stripes reminiscent of the cookie’s stripes. The Thin Mints-inspired shoe has a mint green suede body and laces meant to embody the cookie’s chocolate-coated look . The Trefoils/Shortbread-inspired sneaker features a soft suede upper and an embossed puffed cookie. Each sneaker features Girl Scout branding at the heel and comes in a special cookie-inspired shoebox with silver foil paper for an added ascetic.

Court 66 is available now on kswiss.com and retails for $75 for women and $70 for kids. They will be available in Footlocker stores March 4th.

Diane von Furstenberg and the Girl Scouts have teamed up to inspire the next generation of female leaders.

“To empower a girl is to empower the woman she will become… #InCharge.”

Together they are offering limited-edition accessories that consists of a silk scarf ($150) and a wristlet ($45), both in “Girl Scouts Green,” and emblazoned with von Furstenberg’s take on the organizations iconic trefoil, according to WWD.

The collection launched Tuesday, just ahead of Women’s International Day and Girl Scout Week. The assortment will be sold exclusively on girlscoutshop.com and will help fund programs that support girls as leaders.

Von Furstenberg said, “Prints are what I’m most passionate about. My first job was in the print factory, so I learned everything from creating illustrations, experimenting with color combinations, and then turned my visions into fabrics. So when I was presented an opportunity to collaborate with Girl Scouts, I knew the design had to include the trefoil — a symbol that holds such rich value to GSUSA.” She said she was pleased to “partner with the premiere leadership organization for girls and further support girls to become the women they want to be.”
