There's no official way to ring in 4/20, a global celebration of cannabis culture .
But for Nike, it usually means a stoner-themed Dunk like the "Skunk," "Cheech & Chong" and "White Widow."
This year's batch — a pair of remastered Dunk Low models — is far more subdued than anything we've seen in recent years.
However, the 2026 drop actually harkens back to a Y2K grail, the original 4/20 "Hemp Pack" from 2004.

Hemp strikes back
Like that release, which came in three colors that currently resell for more than $2,500 on the secondhand market, this year's 4/20 Dunk showcases a woven-hemp upper that "softens and gains vintage character with wear," the brand says on the product page.

The two colorways arrive as inverses of one another: a light treatment takes shape with a white base and gray overlays, while the darker one hinges on beige and brown.

Both display a white midsole supported by a brown-gum outsole, which differs from the 2004 "Hemp Pack" where the outsoles matched each shoe's dominant accent color.
That said, it's a minor compromise after considering the price.

Availability and pricing
Available now on Nike's official website, both colorways currently retail for less than the listed MSRP.
A 20 percent discount brings the price down from $130 to $104.
