country, gospel and blues etc. Their unique music is still enjoyed in various
parts of the world to this day. To commemorate the band, Nike as partnered with

the rear cover art of the newly-launched shoe collection.

launched in 2006 by Nike SB. Along with the Chunky Dunky’s, this collection is
shooting through every die-hard sneaker fan’s roof. Priced at $110, the demand
for this shoe has broken all records. This collection is available in three
colours – green, yellow and orange.

features fuzzy faux fur throughout the uppermost part of the shoes to create an
image of a bear. The suede has been used for the overlays.In the ‘orange
grateful bear’, the black jagged edges have been inspired from the bear’s
jester collars. It also includes a stash pouch right behind the bear’s tongue,
green on the midsole and blue rubber outsole.
The yellow grateful dead Nike bears will be
released in selected skate shops through exclusive retailers. The quantity is
extremely limited and therefore, the craze around this collection has shot
through the roof. It has the sneaker lovers in a tizzy.
