Dude, Whoa: Cheech And Chong Sneakers

032611sneakers.jpg 4/20 is coming up (we guess), and ha ha let's all smoke pot! And on the pothead holiday, Nike will be releasing about 1,000 pairs of the Cheech and Chong SB, a sneaker inspired by the classic stoner flick. Not only are the fabrics inspired by the characters' headwear, but the shoes have tear-away canvas that reveals green suede underneath, which looks just like pot.

Since the sneakers are in limited supply, N-SB.org recommends cozying up to the folks on the 420 Forum Thread, where one person writes, "I have news from a reliable source that there will be another Bratrud dunk this 4/20/11. The shoe will be based off a joint, and will feature the scratch/wear concept featured in the Liberty Dunk. As you put the shoe through daily use, the top layer will wear away revealing a bottom layer. This will cause the shoe to resemble a joint in the process of being smoked." Sometimes, we just don't understand fashion.

    They could have, at least, fashioned a hidden bong into it.

    Athletic companies marketing athletic shoes to smokers....that isn't ironic at all.

    I could see that. "so high's" where the air cushions in the soles store your vaporized weed or something.

    At least Cheech and Chong are better role model's than most of Nike's pro sponsorships.

    If you don't like em, stop hyping them so much, you're certainly not making it easier for those truly interested to get them...
