Here's Why The "Strawberry Cough" Nike SB Dunks Were Really Delayed

As cannabis worked its way into legality in many states across the country, somehow Nike SB turned the unofficial holiday for smokers that is 4/20, into one of the more important sneaker release dates of the year. However, one of the most anticipated 4/20 sneaker releases, originally scheduled to drop in April of 2020 never happened. It was thought that pandemic-related supply chain issues were the main reason that the "Strawberry Cough" Nike SB Dunk didn't release back in April as it was expected to, but as the shoes begin to release at skate shops across the country, another rumor has surfaced. According to some, Nike thought that the "Strawberry Cough" imagery found on the heel and insoles of this Nike Dunk might be insensitive to release amidst the pandemic.
