Nike SB Dunk High “Dog Walker”
Nike SB celebrates International Weed Day (April 20) with the cleverly-named “Dog Walker” collection, named after a strand of the cannabis plant. Without the context, however, you might mistake these high tops for some cute puppy-themed kicks.

If you take a closer look, you’ll see some playful gimmicks on the outsole. Some brown splashes have been added; they look almost like you’ve stepped on one of your pooch’s stink bombs.
The upper’s green base color can be taken for either the grass lawn where you take your canine companion for a walk, or the cannabis leaves some might know oh-so-well.
