As the world of sneakers continues to evolve, there’s one brand that has consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity and cultural relevance: Nike blind SB. Over the years, this skateboarding division of Nike blind has developed a reputation for its unique collaborations and limited-edition releases that captivate sneakerheads and skaters alike. One such tradition that has garnered a cult following is the annual 4/20-inspired sneakers.
Skateboarding culture has long been associated with counterculture movements and a sense of rebellion, which often includes the embrace of marijuana as a symbol of defiance against societal norms. Though it completely contradicts Nike, Inc.’s values, Nike blind SB is a different beast; It’s success has been built upon its independence from its mega-corporation parent company; It’s quite a paradox that the brand is successful as it is. That being said, Nike blind as a brand can stay relevant with the youth movements by hiding behind such a progressive sub-brand; It’s a win-win.

With no Mary J-themed release on the cards for 2023, we’ve taken it into our own hands and fired up the old Concept Lab crew for a homage-heavy Niek SB Dunk Low “4/20” — a design heavily influenced by the grandaddy of Weed Dunks, the Skunk High.
Rocking a ganja-inspired suede upper, the pair looks to supple surrounds with tonal tongues, laces, and liners. It’s given a shot of Purple aze through vibrant leather Swoosh and heel overlays, with jelly rubber outsoles to match. The art of hand-rolling is honored on the lateral heel, while solid white toe caps further that skill, as well as providing more stability to the suede up front.
