Witness the colorful world of Madsteez and Stink
Nike 6.0 joined forces with prolific street artist Mark Madsteez to create something fresh and visually groundbreaking. The footwear collab resulted in the Nike 6.0 StinkWeen Braata. Madsteez teamed up with young artist Evan “Stink” Rossell, and in an all-night, art-fueled brainstorming session, created the character “StinkWeen”—a fusion of Madsteez’s scrappy cartoon self-portrait “Weeneze” and a mischievous alter-ego doodle by Stink.
Channeling the Madsteez/Stink split personality, the artists made their shoe in two different colors—washing the men’s version in a cool minty green and drenching the women’s in delicious grapey purple. Signature StinkWeen artwork graces the sole and insole which glows in the dark. Watch the shoe come to life in this high-energy, acid trip of a video created by Madsteez at http://www.stinkween.com , where you can also create your own stinkween-inspired character. The winner receives a hand-painted portrait of themselves….Done by non-other than MADSTEEZ himself.
Madsteez is taking his colorful art to the streets of Huntington Beach, painting a tri-fecta of city-approved murals on three alcoves at Jacks Surfboards on Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway, showcasing the history and surf culture of HB. The murals will be complete by July 24th, when the 6.0 StinkWeen Braata will be available at both Jacks and the Motel NoTell.
