In a world where random things go viral on the Internet, it really is no surprise that a series of Kermit the Frog memes titled Kermit the Snitch blew up over the web in a matter of days. To commemorate the hilarious puppet memes, sneaker customizer Gourmet Kickz redesigned a pair of green Nike Rosche Run Premium sneakers to look like the infamous green amphibian.
The Kermit the Snitch memes created by Instagram user 'thatsnoneofmybusinesstho' use black humor and Kermit the Frog to parody contemporary relationship issues. Gourmet Kickz decided to pay tribute to the popular memes by redesigning a pair of sport sneakers to look like the popular amphibian character. A pair of white eyes, red laces and green trimming was added to these neon green Nike Rosche Run Premium shoes to recreate the popular frog puppet's face.
