And then there are all of the ancillary smoking accessories: pipes, rolling paper kits, bongs, vapes, dab-rigs\u2014you name it. There are also lifestyle products created for the cannabis lovers such as artwork, clothing, backpacks, watches, sunglasses and even shoes made of real CBD flower. Yes, you heard that right! We\u2019re talking about the Weedo Hemp Shoes, created by the sustainable hemp fashion brand 8000Kicks. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.8000kicks.com\/pages\/cbd-hemp-shoes-signup\">Weedo<\/a> is a shoe that breaks the outdated stigma around cannabis consumption by proudly embracing it. To complement the excitement around this unique new cannabis footwear, the Portuguese-American company launched a massive and wild publicity stunt in Berlin last fall to gain further global attention.<\/p>\n<p>Loudly and proudly embracing cannabis, Weedo is a limited-edition shoe with a huge cannabis impact.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-the-first-ever-cbd-hemp-based-shoes\"><a \/>Making the First Ever CBD Hemp-Based Shoes<\/h4>\n<p>Weedo is a shoe model that was created through a partnership by 8000Kicks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalqueenseeds.com\/us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Royal Queen Seeds<\/a>, with manufacturing execution by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/sneakers\/a\/victor-deng\/8000kicks-nisiseltor-studio-weedo-release-date\">Nisiseltor Studio.<\/a> The Weedo shoe has an exclusive inventory of only 100 pairs available in the world making it a special collector\u2019s item for weed enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p>Each shoe is handcrafted with 500mg of premium CBD flower, using an industrial grinder to break the weed flower into small pieces before it\u2019s meticulously glued together onto the shoe. In all, the process takes around 30 hours to carefully manufacture each pair.<\/p>\n<p>When building the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8000kicks.com\/pages\/our-material\">prototype<\/a> of the Weedo shoe model, the team used a full bag of 500g of CBD hemp flower. The flower covered the upper and bottom filling and also the heel and tongue of the shoe. For a more consistent and durable form, multiple layers of ground-up CBD flower were used to cover the upper part of the shoe. After, the layers and panels of the shoe are manually stitched so the shoe can strongly stay intact with normal wear.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cannabis Now<\/em> Team Member Shelby Nelson is thrilled with her exclusive pair of Weedo cannabis shoes. Arriving in a polished wooden case, the opening experience is like none other. \u201cYou can tell they are high-quality, and a lot of time and care went into making the shoes,\u201d she says. \u201cThey have a pleasant and freshy, herby smell, which I wasn\u2019t expecting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While we imagine these shoes are as comfortable as the rest of 8000Kicks hemp apparell, Nelson shares that these are simply too special to hit the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally I would never wear them since they are a one-of-a-kind type of shoe,\u201d she says. \u201cI would display them in a plexiglass case to protect them. I view the shoes more as an art piece rather than wearable clothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weedos are completely made of real CBD bud\u2014which means that the flower itself will eventually turn brownish as hemp flower dries up and colorizes over time. Considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.8000kicks.com\/blogs\/news\/shoe-made-from-cbd-weed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">authenticity of these CBD hemp flower shoes<\/a>, these details all make each pair of Weedo shoes a truly unique fashion statement.<\/p>\n<p>In all, the Weedo shoe looks, feels and smells like cannabis.
