Nike's Chocolate-Flavored Dunk Is Straight-Up Delicious
A couple of years ago, the Nike Dunk Low sneaker was inescapable. The shoe may not be as sought after now, but it certainly ain't dead, at least according to Nike.
The sportswear giant continues to keep the Dunk sneaker collection fresh with new cheeky designs and tasteful colorways like the latest "Irontstone" shoes.
The new "Ironstone/Velvet Brown" Dunk shoes take the classic do-it-all Nike sneaker on a chocolatey ride, wrapping the classic skater model in delectable brown shades.
Beyond the mouthwatering scheme, the Nike Dunk Low sneakers also feature nice materials that include sleek leather and glossy nylon-like overlays.
These textures, paired with the brown palette, create a seriously sumptuous design as if the shoe had emerged from a chocolate bath.
Nike has produced other sweet "Ironstone" shoes before. Earlier this year, the brand released a Clogposite in the brown colorway, resulting in a tonal chocolate-style version of the slip-on sneaker hybrid.
The "Ironstone" Dunk Low is indeed a sweet treat for the feet. It also advances the streak of food-flavored Dunks, like the velvety "Mocha"-ish Dunks and those "Waffle" pairs, which itself is really a history lesson on Nike Origins 101. (if you aren't familiar with the history of Nike footwear, well, no better time to educate yourself.)
You could even see the new "Ironstone" Dunk sneakers as a sort of spiritual update the OG "Chocolate" Dunk shoes that Nike released over two decades ago.
The Nike Dunk Low "Ironstone/Velvet Brown" sneakers are expected to hit Nike's website in due time for the usual price point of $120. More specifically, according to sneaker leakers, we should expect them sometime around the fall.
