The hugely popular Nike SB shoe is the subject of a bizarre but awesome new collaboration with ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s.
The multi-national show company has teamed up with Ben & Jerry’s to announce a new line of sneakers with the look and feel of a few piled up scoops of ice creamy goodness.
The Nike SB x Ben & Jerrys Dunk Low Pro, or as it’s referred to in an official Nike press release, the ‘Chunky Dunky’, are truly a sight to behold. They somehow combine the colours of a hillside paddock, with swoosh that looks like it’s melting, and all surrounded by hairy black and white cow print.
GQ has already called them “the most delightfully preposterous sneakers ever created” and gives the shoemaker big kudos for “the extra mile to make these Dunks look and feel more like a pint of Half Baked than the genuine article.”
And for anyone who thinks that it’s too bold a move, GQ reminds us that they are just the latest in a pretty storied history of crazy kicks from the brand, including the blood-splattered Freddy Dunks, the Red Lobster Dunks and the furry Three Bears pack.
“With the Dunk Low finally relevant again, it feels only right for SB to get its doing-the-most groove back—and this Ben & Jerry’s collab is about as strong and strange a return to form as the new Fiona Apple record,” adds the writer.

It’s not the only big announcement Ben & Jerry’s have made recently, with the brand adding two new vegan flavours – Choc Chip Cookie Dough and Chocolate Caramel Cluster – to its expanding range.
