Nike SB Dunk High Hawaii

Nike SB is offering a tropical take on one of their most renowned silhouettes with the Nike SB Dunk High Hawaii. The Hawaiian theme of this colorway references the cannabis strain Maui Wowie, similarly to how past 4/20 releases have referenced cannabis strain names, like the 2018 Nike SB Dunk Mid White Widow.
The upper of the Nike SB Dunk High Hawaii is covered in a blue, green, and pink floral fabric with a Sail textile Swoosh and tongue. With plenty of hard usage over time, the top layer of the upper wears away to reveal an orange floral fabric upper with shaggy green suede overlays. From there, a hidden stash pocket is located in the tongue. A bright orange Nike SB tongue tag, white midsole, and Sail outsole wrap up this island-themed design.
The Nike SB Dunk High Hawaii releases on Friday, April 23rd for $120 on the SNKRS app and at select skate shops.
adidas Campus 80s South Park Towelie

South Park and adidas are joining forces to celebrate 4/20 with the release of the adidas Campus 80s South Park Towelie. This release references Towelie, a laboratory-made, cannabis-consuming towel character who has made appearances in more than a dozen episodes and three South Park games.
The adidas Campus 80s South Park Towelie features a purple terrycloth upper with white leather overlays and purple leather lining. Towelie’s eyes appear on the tongue and when exposed to sunlight, they transition from white to bright red. A hidden stash pocket in the tongue is big enough to fit the Towelie keychains that are included with the shoes. Quotes from Towelie that read “Don’t Forget To Bring A Towel” and “I Have No Idea What’s Going On” also show up on the tongue’s interior. A white sole and adidas branding on the heel tab complete this South Park release.
The adidas Campus 80s South Park Towelie release on Tuesday, April 20th for $100 on the adidas Confirmed app.
adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Bright Blue

Yeezy continues its streak of vibrant colorways in 2021 with the adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Light Blue. This release is the second 700 model this year to ditch the brand’s signature muted earth tones for eye-catching saturated hues.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Bright Blue features a Bright Blue leather, suede, and mesh upper with black suede overlays on the vamp and quarter. Like the Yeezy 700 Sun that released earlier this year, turquoise and teal mesh panels on the toe add contrast to surrounding suede panels. Reflective detailing on the heel panel, a bright orange Boost midsole, and a black outsole complete this Yeezy 700 colorway.
The adidas Yeezy Boost 700 Bright Blue releases on Saturday, April 24th for $240 on Yeezy Supply and at select shops.

One of the very first Air Huarache colorways is making its return this week as Nike brings back the Nike Air Huarache Scream Green. The Scream Green originally debuted in 1991, making this year the 30th Anniversary of the colorway.
The Nike Air Huarache Scream Green features a white, blue, and Scream Green neoprene upper with white leather overlays. Surrounding the heel is a black and Scream Green plastic cage unit, adding further structure to the design. A Nike Air tongue label, white midsole, and black outsole wraps up this retro model.
The Nike Air Huarache Scream Green releases on Monday, April 19th for $120 on the SNKRS app and at select Nike retailers.
