These Wawa-branded Nike Air Max 90 running shoes were designed in partnership with Philadelphia-based custom sneaker company Garrixon. Ten pairs are available as part of a sweepstakes Wawa is running on Instagram from Aug. 24 through Aug. 31. Other prizes also are available.

Most of your basic needs can be met at a local Wawa in a pinch, and now the convenience store chain is offering superfans a chance to wear their Wawa pride on their feet next time they make a Wawa run.

As part of a new sweepstakes announced Tuesday, Wawa will give away 10 pairs of exclusive Nike Air Max 90 running shoes featuring a Wawa-themed design. The company also has other swag available as part of the end-of-summer promotion.

The limited-run sneakers were designed by Philadelphia-based branding agency Cinch, which developed a pretty sleek and nifty line of Wawa apparel across the board. The shoes were manufactured by Garrixon, an end-to-end custom shoe designer based in Philadelphia. The details include geese and Wawa-branded laces.
