Challenged by Cannabis Now, 8000Kicks and RQS are thrilled to announce their custom WEEDO pair for Mike Tyson, with a upper made with 100% CBD weed.

Lisbon, Portugal – May 30, 2024 – In an exciting collaboration with Cannabis Now, 8000Kicks and Royal Queen Seeds (RQS) are thrilled to announce the creation of a custom-made pair of WEEDO shoes for legendary boxer Mike Tyson. These unique shoes feature Tyson's iconic tattoo print engraved on the sole and are crafted with an upper made from 100% CBD weed.

Introducing the WEEDO: A Blend of Sustainability and Style

The limited edition WEEDO shoes showcase sustainable materials, including cotton and hemp laces, hemp insoles, and a hemp interior, originally launched on April 20, 2023. Each shoe is handcrafted with up to 400 grams of premium CBD weed and takes up to 30 hours to manufacture. An industrial grinder is used to break the weed flower into small pieces, which are then meticulously stitched onto the shoe. To ensure the shoe is vegan-friendly and sustainable, a water-based glue is used to secure the materials together.

A Special Collaboration for a Legend

The WEEDO collaboration with RQS and 8000Kicks was inspired by Eugénio, CEO of Cannabis Now, who invited the two brands to create a custom pair for Mike Tyson ahead of his upcoming fight with Jake Paul. Crafting these shoes was a challenging endeavor, as Tyson's shoe size is a formidable 15 (49/50 in European sizes), which required completely new tooling and molding. The process involved extensive photo analysis and rigorous testing to ensure a perfect fit.

Exclusive Availability

Due to the high cost and labor involved in creating these masterpieces, only 100 additional pairs of WEEDO shoes have been made available for purchase and they are all sold out now.
