In a series of all-night, art-fueled brainstorming sessions, they created the character “StinkWeen”—a fusion of Madsteez’s scrappy cartoon self-portrait “Weeneze” and a mischievous alter-ego doodle by Stink. “StinkWeen represents both me and Stink, much like a Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde relationship,” says Deren. 
Brand new to the 6.0 line, the Braata translates this wonderfully weird vision with easy-wearing innovation. Built with Nike Free technology, the Braata’s uber-flex allows the foot to follow its natural movements and provides unprecedented board-feel that’s tempered with support in all the right places. The Braata’s cold-wrap construction process reduces environmental impact and also allows the insert of a cushioned midsole, differentiating it from traditional vulcanized shoes. The shoe comes in a cool minty green and signature StinkWeen artwork graces the sole and insole.
“Making a Nike shoe has been a dream of mine since I was young little Ween,” says Deren. “I couldn’t be more pleased with how the shoe came out, and I’m insanely proud that the StinkWeen is one part Stink, one part Madsteez, and one part Nike 6.0.” The Nike 6.0 StinkWeen Braata drops July 24th at select retailers
