Being active can be annoying when it comes to figuring out how to carry around some basic necessities like phones, keys and money -- the adidas Happy 420 skateboarding shoes solves one of those issues. Instead of lugging around a bulky wallet, it boasts a hidden pocket on the inside of the tongue perfect for cash.
Of course, the name of the adidas Happy 420 sneaker suggests that it pays tribute to more than money. It was created in collaboration with brick and mortar retailer BAIT to celebrate 420 -- the day of marijuana. Designed using natural hemp, it takes on a traditional Stan Smith silhouette with a chunky heel that is meant to resemble cannabis buds -- clever and chic.
