Stoner Skate Shoes

The Nike SB Cheech & Chong Sneaks Celebrate 4/20 2011

— April 17, 2011 — Fashion
4/20 is right around the corner, which means a new Nike SB themed around herb is nearly ready to be released. This year's new shoe is the Nike SB Cheech & Chong, a Dunk High designed with symbols of the iconic stoner comedy duo.

The Nike SB Cheech & Chong wraps Chong's red bandanna and Cheech's red beanie around the heel of each of these shoes. Other stoner design nods include an extra set of green laces and a stash pocket inside each tongue. You have got to love Nike for embracing 4/20 year in and year out. Even if you aren't a smoker, you can still look forward to an original shoe release from Nike SB every year around the end of April. If that doesn't get you high, I don't know what will.
Trend Themes
1. Stoner-themed Fashion - The rising popularity of stoner-themed fashion presents opportunities for brands to tap into this niche market and create unique, cannabis-inspired products.
2. Holiday-themed Sneakers - The trend of releasing sneakers inspired by specific holidays, like 4/20, allows brands to target and engage with specific consumer groups during special occasions.
3. Nostalgic Design Elements - Incorporating nostalgic design elements, such as symbols and references from iconic movies or comedy duos, can create a sense of nostalgia and appeal to consumers who enjoy pop culture references.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Retail - Fashion retailers can capitalize on the stoner-themed fashion trend by offering a range of clothing and accessories that cater to cannabis enthusiasts.
2. Sportswear - Sportswear brands can seize the opportunity to release holiday-themed sneakers, like Nike SB's Cheech & Chong, to attract sneakerheads and capitalize on the hype surrounding specific occasions.
3. Pop Culture Merchandise - Creating pop culture merchandise, especially items inspired by iconic movies and comedy duos, can be a lucrative market for brands and retailers looking to tap into nostalgic consumer preferences.
