They may be an ice cream company, but Ben & Jerry's has been known to fight the good fight. For years the dessert company has spoken out on various political and controversial topics, and they even have an entire section of their website dedicated to the "Issues We Care About." They've supported racial justice, criminal reform, informing the public about climate change, fairtrade, assistance to refugees, LGBTQIA+ equality efforts, and much more. It was years ago that they made it clear that they are 100 percent behind the Black Lives Matter movement, and in the wake of the recent protests, Ben & Jerry's has released a statement about dismantling white supremacy.
"All of us at Ben & Jerry’s are outraged about the murder of another Black person by Minneapolis police officers last week and the continued violent response by police against protestors," they wrote on their website. "We have to speak out. We have to stand together with the victims of murder, marginalization, and repression because of their skin color, and with those who seek justice through protests across our country. We have to say his name: George Floyd."
"What happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis is the fruit borne of toxic seeds planted on the shores of our country in Jamestown in 1619, when the first enslaved men and women arrived on this continent," the company added. "Floyd is the latest in a long list of names that stretches back to that time and that shore. Some of those names we know — Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Oscar Grant, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Emmett Till, Martin Luther King, Jr. — most we don’t."
Then, Ben & Jerry's laid out their four-part plan to help in bringing down white supremacy that included calling President Trump, calling up your congressman, supporting bipartisan legislation that calls for police accountability, and the need for the "Department of Justice to reinvigorate its Civil Rights Division as a staunch defender of the rights of Black and Brown people." It's more than ice cream, y'all.
Ben & Jerry’s x Nike SB Dunk Low Collab Leads To Corny Twitter Antics
Some sneakerheads really need to relax with some of their antics these days.
When sneakerheads found out that Ben & Jerry's would be coming through with a shoe collab with Nike, they were very excited, to say the least. Ben & Jerry's is one of the biggest ice cream companies in the world and they have some pretty iconic flavors. The name of the shoe was "Chunky Dunky" and yesterday, the sneaker was released to the world in very limited quantities. Due to the scarcity of the shoe, fans were frantically trying to cop but as many realized, it was almost impossible to secure a pair.
Those who did get a pair either sold them on the resale market or immediately put them on their feet. Others, however, decided to get a little too corny for social media. For instance, in the clip below, a sneaker shop owner Hikmet Sugoer can be seen filling his pair with Ben & Jerry's ice cream and then eating out of them like it's a bowl.
This clip has been circulating on social media over the last couple of days and it has rightfully been getting some flack. Simply put, this behavior is pretty corny especially when you consider how many people wanted these for genuine reasons. It's exactly like when that YouTuber who shall remain nameless decided to fill his Supreme Air Force 1's with milk and then ate Supreme Oreos out of them.
Either way, hopefully, you guys find a better use for these than this man did.

Ben & Jerry’s x Nike SB Dunk Low Hits Resale Market: Detailed Look
The Ben & Jerry’s Nike SB Dunk Low is already going for massive prices on the resale market.
Over the past few months, there seems to be a renewed interest in the Nike SB Dunk Low which was incredibly popular during the mid to late 2000s. During the 2010s, sneakerheads shifted their tastes to Jordans and lifestyle sneakers from brands like Adidas, in the form of the UltraBoost and NMD. However, the Nike SB Dunk Low is making a huge comeback and Nike is doing its best to cash in on the trend. There are about to be some pretty incredible collabs over the next little while, including one with none other than ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s.
We have brought numerous teasers of this shoe over the last little while but thanks to @zsneakerheadz, we have our best look yet. In fact, it has been revealed that this shoe is now on resale platforms such as StockX and is going for quite a bit of money ahead of its release. As you can see, a size 10 is currently going for $1,500 USD.
The retail price of this shoe is going to be $120 USD and the release date has yet to be determined. Needless to say, it’s probably a better idea to wait for the real release before trying to scoop up a pair for so much money.
As for the trolls in the comments who constantly say “Alexander Cole is the type to buy shoes for resale,” I will have you know that $1,500 is way more than I would spend on these. In fact, $1,200 is the most I would do.
