One of the most hyped sneaker collaborations of the year dropped on Tuesday and people are once angry at the Nike SNKRS app.
On Tuesday, Nike’s collab with ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s were finally released to much fanfare.
Via Nike.com
Ben & Jerry’s has done things its own way since humbly serving its first scoop in 1978. The company is world renowned for producing high quality ice cream—but the Vermont-based brand has always remained committed to its core values of doing good and having fun. In recognition of that shared ethos, Nike SB is churning out a chunky rendition of the Dunk Low featuring hues and textures that mimic Ben & Jerry’s signature packaging. Blue skies, bovines and green pastures all appear in familiar form, while colorful tie-dye patterns and bold text graphics cover the shoe’s insole and heel. Dip into this delicious edition before it gets gobbled up.
