You’ve surely heard of Ben & Jerry’s. You know that ice cream brand that you usually see in the freezers of your local grocery store? Well, what if I told you that you can now get a taste of them in the form of a sneaker? A collaboration between an ice-cream and a sneaker brand -who would’ve thought? Yet, the two icons came together to make the unmatched Chunky Dunky sneaker. Its eye-catching designs and hard to get status have made this sneaker one of the biggest releases to hit the market.
Ice cream and sneakers.
In 2020, an unlikely collaboration shook the sneaker world: Nike and Ben & Jerry’s joined forces to create the Chunky Dunky sneaker. Naturally, No one saw it coming. Who could’ve imagined that ice cream and sneakers would complement each other? but against all odds, they made it work! The sneaker is a fun change from the brand’s usual collaborations with popular artists such as Travis Scott. Nobody believed in this collaboration, but now that the Chunky Dunky sneaker is out, everyone is just so obsessed!
This funky sneaker comes in Nike’s Dunk Low silhouette which is just perfect considering its track record of interesting collaborations and fun designs -It was a no brainer, really. We gotta hand it to the mastermind behind this iconic crossover because this sneaker has to be the most unique out of all the SB Dunks. If you’re a true sneakerhead, adding this gem of a sneaker to your collection is an absolute must!
The Design
The design of this sneaker is completely unmatched. The Chunky Dunky sneaker was made to pay homage to Ben and Jerry’s most beloved “Chunky munchy” Ice cream Flavor. Hence, the color palette takes inspiration from the packaging. If you’ve ever bought ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s, you’d definitely be able to spot several defining characteristics integrated into the shoes.
Chunky Dunky is so much more than just a new colorway, it truly epitomizes uniqueness in every aspect. At first glance, the faux cowhide dominating the overlays and tongues is the first thing that catches the eye. Paired with it, a picture of a green meadow under a blue sky is portrayed on the upper. The yellow swoosh logo on the side is a brilliant addition to the design as it resembles melting ice cream. The best part? It’s all cushioned by a zoom air midsole, which we all know is the epitome of comfort when it comes to Nikes SB and on running.
Celebrities
Now, Let’s talk celebrities! Ben Affleck has accidentally become the face of this collaboration despite having nothing to do with either brand. He is famously known for being a raging sneakerhead with a vast collection of Dunks. So, of course it did not come as a surprise that he was amongst the first to own (and wear) these iconic sneakers when they first dropped. He was spotted wearing his usual uniform consisting of casual wear paired with a rotating selection of Nike Dunks, only this time he was sporting the newly released Chunky Dunky. And let’s be honest, he absolutely nailed the look!
This sneaker is the perfect fusion of Ben & Jerry’s chunky goodness and Nike SB’s dunky style. Don’t miss out on experiencing this delicious collaboration through Mad Kicks! Make this unique drop a part of your collection today!
