Cheech & Chong Nike Shoe

Nike plans 4/20 release of new Cheech & Chong shoe line

By "Radical" Russ Belville

The Nike SB Dunk High “Cheech & Chong” shoes

(MSNBC) Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, the pot-smoking comedy duo of the 1970s and ’80s, will be paid homage with an eponymous sneaker due out April 20, the unofficial international holiday for marijuana tokers.

The skateboarding shoe, officially called the Nike SB Dunk High 420 Cheech & Chong, will feature a red heel panel, an icy translucent outsole and “marijuana-green” laces, according to the website sneakerobsession.com. Only 1,000 pairs will be made.

The left sneaker represents Chong with graphics resembling his signature red bandana, while the right sneaker honors Cheech, with a graphic representing his signature red skullcap, wrote Joseph Karlovich, owner and editor of sneakerobsession, a website that covers the sneaker subculture.

In addition to the features described in the MSNBC story, SneakerObsession gives us details on the top layer that scuffs away to reveal a layer of green:

There’s been rumors floating around that the sneakers would feature a tearaway concept where a top-layer is torn or scuffed away to reveal a second, hidden layer. This photo confirms those rumors. As you can see, a top-layer in white, which is possibly canvas or hemp, shreds away to reveal a long-haired green suede.

There’s also a “smoked-out insole”.

Nike’s World Headquarters is just nine miles away from RoLLaJaY Studios; I used to teach computer classes there for new employees on occassion. We’ll see if we can get on the inside at Nike and maybe score a pair of Cheech & Chong shoes.

I do believe this makes Cheech, 64, and Chong, 72, the oldest persons to be honored with a Nike shoe. Take that, Michael Jordan!

I dig C&C but to wear these sorry my closets don't have enough room for Klown Sneakers besides Black aj 2011's suites me just fine pair of jeans.

You could get a cap in your ass just for wearing the Color Red in many hoods even malls, being older the colors blind me and look to cheesy but Much Respect to those who dig the sneakers...

Haters wanna hate I'll supply the darts on this one but theirs a time wear ya just have to say NO! Stick to the Bobble Heads, Ceramic Stash Jars & decals etc, after several bomb movies Up in Smoke will be thee #1 C&C Movie of their Careers

I googled bandana colors. Red bandana means fisting,left is insertive partner right is receptive partner.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

I like the old school bassetball style but not so much the bandana. Green nike stripes n strings would be cool enough.

Looks like the official shoe of the Bloods

They better have a stash pocket.

^ Haha! thats exactly what I thought when I saw um... If I was a blood Id be on um tho.

 

[BlueGrassToker]

They should have made them look like an old Big Bamboo pack..like the album. THAT would have signified Cheech&Chong. They should have a pocket on the side for skins...
I like the rub to green idea though.

And I have a few zips of Labrador available if anyone wants to purchase some...
...just sayin...

 

[purple_man]
