The Event was supported by sneaker-brand Nat-2 sponsoring the kicks that were painted in a unique and highly creative way. more info: www.nat-2.eu & www.welovekicks.ch

Sneakers, Candy & Chocolate

Seems like a new hype is to push chocolate and candy bars through sneaker culture and/or the other way around.

Nat-2 & Ritter Sport teamed up for a campaign, lotteries and creative get-together in 2008.

The colab was published in various international magazines and medias. (Source: nat-2.eu)

followed by Saucony’s Candy Bars (found in magazine “Schuhmarkt“) 

and the Le Coq Sportif and M&M colab (found in magazine “Shoes-Up”).

There will be a Candy Pack by New Balance, which are the two sneakers on the top above. One is inspired by M&M’s and the other one is inspired by the silver foil that wraps chocolate bars. (Source: hypebeast.com)

This UNDRCRWN x Madame Chocolat collaboration features an UNDRCRWN designed keepsake lacquered heart box that contains custome hand made chocolates by Madame Chocolat. One side of the box features caramel heart shaped chocolates wrapped in an assortment of colors while the other features various chocolate basketballs dusted in Gold and Silver.

Switzerland is famous, among other things, its chocolate. So the folks at Swiss-based +41 dreamed up a way to combine their 2 loves: chocolate and Nike sneakers. Just released are 4 new additions to +41’s chocolate collection: Air Force 1 (white chocolate), Dunk Hi, Air Trainer, and Blazer Mid (all in dark chocolate). Check out the details on each piece, down to the perforated leather, makes it too hard to eat them…almost. Comes in 1 pack = 3 boxes, with a pair in each box. To commemorate AF 1 25th anniversary, it will come in a gray shoe box, for a limited time. (Source: freshnessmag.com)

 Foiled Chocolate Sneakers from Madelaine, solid molded milk chocolate bite-sized shoes wrapped in red, white, yellow, green and blue foils and all laced up to look like the cutest sneakers. Every bite is a perfect fit! Perfect for Halloween, parties and promotions. Kosher Dairy. Sold in bulk, 64 chocolates per display box. (Source: metrocandy.com)

World famous german candy maker Haribo released the Jolly Joggers candy sneakers (Source: winkkids.com)

The Red candy box that features both branding by CLOT and Nike will come with a top tray that has three sets of shoe laces, Black, Yellow, and Red which have writing on them that wishes everyone a prosperous 2009. When the tray of shoelaces is removed you will find the CLOT x Nike Air Force 1 Supreme’s. This is arguably one of the best 1World Air Force 1’s to date and we’re sure the release of this in Hong Kong and Shanghai will bring long lines. Look for this shoe to be released at the 21 Mercer door sometime shortly after the release in Asia, rumor is that the release at 21 Mercer will NOT contain the special Candy Box though. (Source: freshnessmag.com)

The Puma Easter Clydes come in three monochromatic, candy-colored flavors inspired by Easter eggs: Lavendar, Paradise Green and Aurora Yellow, each with slightly contrasting pastel finishes. The Easter Clydes have a rich nubuk upper with a subtle patent leather hit on the heel, and feature artwork by renowned tattoo artist Cubanbee. (Source: fixins.com)

Look at this RBK Sneaker designed by Rolland Berry! It’s coming out spring 2009 and will be available at a handfull selected stores (hopefully Vagant also )! It’s from a series called “Candy Land Dreams” which stands for very colourful and freaky designs!  (Souce: thisnext.com)

Dailycandies has designed this sneaker (for school I guess) and after a week of work this is what the conclusion is. It looks rather nice and I actually wish it was real. In fact, I thought it was until I saw what it said on the Flickr site. (Souce: sneakersandshoes.com)

Well, we wait for the next big sweet thing to come up!
