The 'Black Croc Skin' iteration takes the familiar Dunk Low form and drenches it in a sleek, all-black palette, from the upper to the sole unit.

This bold pattern immediately sets the shoe apart, offering a high-end feel that transforms the everyday Dunk into a statement piece.

A classic nylon tongue maintains the cohesive flow of textures, subtly finished with golden Nike embroidery at the top and rear. This touch of metallic gold branding provides a refined accent, hinting at a luxe sensibility without overpowering the monochromatic design. The all-black theme extends to the matching sole unit, ensuring a clean and cohesive look despite the bold pattern above.

Get Branded: Companies Are Giving Free Tattoos Instead Of Goodie Bags
getty Would you get branded by your favorite brand? If you thought about it, then perhaps these trendy pop-up brand events are for you. Instead of giving away printed t-shirts, sunglasses or tote bags, some brands have been giving away tattoos instead, leaving a lasting impact on attendees. These events may seem shocking, as the idea of a permanent souvenir may sound intense, but they have been rising in popularity and location, from NYC hotels to retail stores and even concert venues. Even more, some of the most popular and viral tattoo artists are getting involved, adding yet another element to these ink-centric events. One of these artists is Jonboy Tattoo, or Jonathan Valena to his friends. He has a laundry list of celebs on his punch card, including Travis Scott, Drew Barrymore, Post Malone, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, G-Eazy and Justin Bieber, to name a few. The line for a Jonboy Tattoo was long at the LAPOINTE event, featuring a flash sheet with Sandy Liang initials and New York icons Sophie Cannon Want to add your name to this list, but can't get on his books? You can try your luck at a branded pop-up, as he has been known to be the artist in residence at a few, including events for Nike, Revlon, LAPOINTE and GucciGhost. 'Brands are all about creating fun experiences, and flash sheets are a unique way to connect with consumers,' said Valena. 'Tattoo culture is booming, and people love expressing their individuality. Plus, who doesn't love a cute little Jonboy Tattoo piece.' The flash sheet had something for everyone, with the company logo, initials of the designer and some smaller designs. Sophie Cannon Typically these events involve a flash sheet of tattoos to choose from, some of which include the brand's logo or related elements. Since these are also typically one-night-only, the chance to get a unique tattoo, for free, and by a popular artist is too good to pass up—at Valena's LAPOINTE event with designer Sandy Liang, the line to get a tattoo was extremely long and had to be capped due to time. 'It's super cool how branded tattoos and pop-up events foster a sense of community and exclusivity,' said Valena. 'They get people buzzing and feeling part of something special—it's personal, collective and for the culture!' On the brand side, throwing an event with a permanent goodie bag could be risky, but for Thursday Boot Company, the head of brand development and marketing Darnell Thompson knew it would be a night to remember with a lasting impression. 'We had tattoos at our five-year anniversary celebration,' said Thompson. 'When we were looking at what we could do to make it fun, different and an event to remember, the idea came to me. Additionally, I had been to different events where they did small flash tattoos, but I figured we'd kick it up a notch.' Chico, a New York tattoo artist, was enlisted to help give tattoos to guests of the Thursday Boots 5th anniversary party, and it was a hit. Mac Olink That kick involved full-sized tattoos, done by Thompson's personal tattoo artist Chico. While there were options like boots and stars that match the brand's offerings, some attendees really took it to the max and got a slew of different designs. 'Everyone loved it and was shocked by it,' said Thompson. 'The main factor was it wasn't a sheet of tiny flash tattoos which was probably the funniest part of it. I will admit some people went overboard and really noticed it when we came down and saw someone fully laid out on the bed with their shirt off getting a tattoo done. It was great, and even with the long line of people waiting, everyone enjoyed it from getting it done or just watching and seeing the process.' What makes a good event, especially in a city like New York that has multiple events a night, is how memorable it is. Thompson agrees, adding that you need to factor in ease of attending, atmosphere and creating a space with a balance of networking and fun. 'For all of our events that I've planned, I always try to think of what we can do to make it fun for everyone outside of the usual,' said Thompson. 'The bigger the event, the more 'pressure' or determined I am to find more and more to try and test.' Mac Olink 'I feel like a lot of simple fun ideas are great icebreakers and make people feel comfortable really easily. While we had the tattooing going on the first floor, we had beer pong, flip cup and games on another floor for people to hang out and mingle. [Games] literally make you make new friends since you end up partnering with people who are all just here to play and have fun. At the same time, I try to make sure people can socialize while playing, but also I think there's a good mix of competition that happens with games and other activities that people who are attending enjoy.' If you can't seem to get an invite to these brand events, but you can get a ticket to a concert, there is still hope for you and a free tattoo. Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY hosts a free tattoo partnership with Ilegal Mezcal. Guests of any concert at the stadium can come on in, browse their flash sheet of small tattoo designs and then get inked for free. The designs are centered around the mezcal brand, featuring an outline of a bottle, select words like 'ilegal' and of course, the brand's PG-13 image of two bunnies. Due to this activation's continued success, the pop-up has been going on for five seasons, going on six in 2025. In addition to the tattoos, there is also a mezcal bar, available for those 21+, featuring the Ilegal Mezcal spirit. To get in on the action, see the Forest Hills Stadium calendar here. 'Overall, I'm just happy tattoos have gotten a better rep since the earlier years,' added Thompson. 'I think in the past, it was always looked down upon, but now with the times changing, I'm glad to see people are welcoming and generally interested in learning about them.'
