It’s World Chocolate Day, and to celebrate this delectable day within the sneaker timeline, we’ve handpicked a flavoursome bunch of fits that have been inspired by the world’s favourite snack.
Expect plenty of chocolatey heat for your feet and some mouth-watering renditions that you may be looking to add to your sneaker rotation.
Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Colour Of The Month' 'Chocolate'
Nike’s renowned ‘Colour of the Month’ series was in for a treat when the ‘Chocolate’ rendition landed in our laps in November 2023. Summoned in a rich shade of brown, this low-rise offers a crisp contrast with titular shades of white dressing the midsole, laces and Swooshed sidewalls.
Besides the chocolatey paint up, everything remains faithful to its OG design; the perforated toe box, Air cushioning unit, as well as the traction-induced outsole underfoot.
Converse Chuck 70 ‘Chocolate Swirl’
Malden-born Converse knows a thing or two about turning sneakers into sweet treats and that’s exactly what they delivered with the Chuck 70 ‘Chocolate’, created in collaboration with Wonka Chocolate.
True to its name, the upper features rich swirl-like patterns, paired with a clean white midsole and toe box to complete the confection-inspired design. A ‘Wonka’ inscription on the heel adds a nostalgic nod, while the inner tongue message, ‘Never Let Them Steal Your Dreams’ brings a thoughtful touch of character.
Crocs x Hershey's Classic Clog
Who said comfort and cocoa can’t mix? Crocs partnered with Hershey’s for this playful take on their Classic Clog, complete with chocolate bar charms and branding that’ll have you thinking twice about biting your shoes. With Croslite™ cushioning and a deliciously bold design, this one’s a treat for Crocs lovers with a sweet tooth.
Nike Dunk Low ‘Mint Chocolate’
This Dunk Low serves cool tones with a sweet twist. The ‘Mint Chocolate’ colourway pairs pastel overlays with chocolate brown hues on the Swoosh and laces, a combo that delivers both contrast and nostalgia. Whether you're a fan of the flavour or the colour blocking, this pair definitely satisfies.
adidas SL72 OG ‘Maroon/Pre-Loved Brown’
For those who prefer their chocolate with a retro finish, the adidas SL72 OG comes dressed in rich 'Maroon' and 'Pre-Loved Brown’ tones that evoke the golden age of running sneakers. With its slim silhouette, suede accents and vintage sole unit, it’s a tasteful addition to any rotation, on or off the track.
