Nike and Ben & Jerry’s are teaming up to roll out a sweet new deal.
The sneaker maker and ice cream franchise debuted the new Nike SB Chunky Dunky snaker, which features vibrant colors, a black-and-white Holstein cow pattern and dripping Nike Swoosh logo resembling Ben & Jerry's signature ice cream. The inside sports a tie-dyed pattern and the ice cream maker's theme: "If it's not fun, why do it?"
And they are already selling for a ton of money online. One seller on the website StockX listed a pair for $1,971, with the highest bid of $1,700 as of Tuesday afternoon. On eBay, another seller has the sneaks listed for $1,899.
