Nike SB x Ben & Jerry’s Dunk Low Pro ‘Chunky Dunky’ is releasing on Saturday 23rd May 2020 via Instagram raffle.
2020 has been an exciting year for Nike SB Dunks, and the latest collaboration for Nike SB is with Vermont's very own grassroots ice cream company, Ben & Jerry's. Built from a five-dollar course on how to make ice cream, Ben & Jerry's have created a company which not only gives away free scoops on their birthday, but champions great causes. The Ben & Jerry's Foundation was established in 1985, and since then have been tackling climate change, boosting fair trade and standing for a number of social causes. Alike to Nike SB their core values are having fun whilst doing good.
Nike's skateboarding division has always worked on collaborations using the Dunk's classic skate shoe silhouette, allowing their partner brands and friends to use the shoe as a blank canvas to create their own designs that encompass who they are. To represent their own euphoric style, Ben & Jerry's have taken directly from their own slogan “If it’s not fun why do it?” and drawn inspiration from the Chunky Monkey ice cream packaging to create the 'Chunky Dunky'. The blue skies, rolling scenery and cow print encapsulates a pint of ice-cream you would want on a sunny day hanging out with the hippy Vermont ice cream makers.
The Dunks lagoon pulse leather upper and perforated toe box are overlayed with faux cow, and wrapped in a drippy university golden swoosh. A black heel moustache, with an embroidered Nike in the classic Ben & Jerry's font, sits over a sky blue panel with stitched clouds. From behind, you get a glimpse of all materials, textures, embroidery and patterns.
The shoe is complimented with white lacing, a faux cow tongue, and boasts a woven label that has Nike SB branding and 'Chunky Dunky' embroidery. On the reverse, it details Ben & Jerry’s branding and their slogan "If it’s not fun why do it?". With a padded collar, the inside is covered in rainbow tie-dye, nodding to Ben & Jerry's hippy roots. The 'Chunky Dunky' has a full-length EVA white midsole, a Nike Zoom Air unit in the heel and a green rubber outsole, with a pivot circle for multi-directional traction and durability.
