In an unofficial holiday befitting of its own sneaker releases, the upcoming 4/20 day will see the release of the following Nike SB offering. Based on the Dunk High and taking inspirations from the iconic stoner duo of Cheech & Chong, the sneakers feature white canvas uppers with contrasting bandanna patterns on each respective shoe. A stash pocket is located behind the tongue. Available as the holiday suggests on April 20 at select retailers including Scene Skate Shop.
Having already been released in both black and white, the Air Jordan 3 can add one more colorway to its roster just in time for summer. Featuring the original box model, the retro sneaker is now available in a white/true blue combination with a primarily white leather upper and light blue strip around the midsole and inner lining. This model is expected to be available through select Nike stockists sometime around June.

Having adopted the name “Retna” from a popular Wu-Tang Clan song, Los Angeles-born artist Marquis Lewis has made quite a name for himself in the world of street art. His rise came during the mid-1990s as he began painting murals on walls, trains and freeway overpasses throughout the city using a series of symbols inspired by a mixture of ancient Incan and Egyptian hieroglyphics, Arabic, Hebrew, and Asian caligraphy and graffiti. For “Art in the Streets,” the MOCA has chosen to feature some of Retna’s more popular works.
