The AF1 Cookie Mobster by Mr. Phomer isn't formally affiliated with 'Sesame Street,' but this sneaker has a serious sweet tooth nevertheless. The custom [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chipotle-x-nike-air-force-1) Air Force One kicks have a [chocolate chip cookie colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ground-up-and-hersey) and are embedded with a Cookie Monster-inspired 'Cookie Mobster' logo that inspires wearers to rock their shoes with milk and try to avoid crumbles.

I love the play on words used for the AF1 Cookie Mobster by Mr. Phomer, and the kiddie theme takes these custom sneakers over the top.
