There’s something for every sneakerhead’s tastes, so to speak, with the company’s latest style [drawing inspiration from Starbucks](http://www.eater.com/2016/5/18/11700602/nike-coffee-sneakers)‘ caffeinated offerings. The sneaker is a part of the footwear giant’s SB Dunk Low Premium collection and feature a swirled brown and khaki upper that mimics creamer and coffee, as well as dark green and white accents in reference to Starbucks’ trademark cups. The coffee-inspired sneaks are a fitting follow-up to a collaboration Nike announced last week — baller Kyrie Irving’s Nike shoe, the _Kyrie 2_ designed with Krispy Kreme donuts and fittingly named, “[Ky-rispy Kreme’s](http://thesource.com/2016/05/09/icymi-nike-partners-with-krispy-kreme-for-kyrie-2-ky-rispy-kreme/).” For an even sweeter touch, the kicks will be distributed in a Krispy Kreme truck and packaged in custom Nike x Krispy Kreme donut box. > [](https://twitter.com/ComplexSneakers/status/730836286534262785) For those looking for something more savory, Nike also announced that it would be releasing a “[Chicken and Waffles](http://www.nike.com/us/en%5Fus/launch/c/2016-04/nike-sb-dunk-high-premium-waffle)” version of its Dunk High shoe style, appropriately featuring a waffle-weave upper and a Swoosh detail with dripping syrup. Sounds like sole food at its finest. > [](https://twitter.com/nerdist/status/717766525139206149) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4340998/starbucks-sneakers-nike/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4340998/starbucks-sneakers-nike/"},"headline":"Three Pairs of Food-Inspired Sneakers That Look Good Enough To Eat","datePublished":"2016-05-18T22:17:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:32:31.691Z","description":"Just do it.","url":"https://time.com/4340998/starbucks-sneakers-nike/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Nike","Starbucks"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc02937af154751b1/698893d0cf40a85cd4c434ca/nike-sb-dunk-low-premium-starbucks-2-0-0.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc02937af154751b1/698893d0cf40a85cd4c434ca/nike-sb-dunk-low-premium-starbucks-2-0-0.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Nike-SB-Dunk-Low-Premium-Starbucks-2.0.0","caption":"Premier","creditText":"Premier","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4340998/starbucks-sneakers-nike/","name":"Three Pairs of Food-Inspired Sneakers That Look Good Enough To Eat"}}]}] ```
