Lil Gnar is an upcoming, young hip-hop artist from Atlanta. He has collaborated with artists like Lil Keed, Germ, and Yaki Gotti. While his music career continues to be on the rise, he is also working on growing his brand, at the same damn time. Gnar released his first sneaker under Gnarcotic Footwear, and his fans are loving it.
Lil Gnar’s brand is labeled Gnarcotics, and has a website where you can shop all available merchandise. This includes tees, shorts, hoodies and hats. Earlier this week, he released his new sneaker, GNARCOTIC SB BUTTERFLY EFFECT ORANGE/BLACK. The sneakers do resemble a Nike SB. They have a black and orange upper, and what looks like would be a swoosh placement, a butterfly at the end. The Gnarcotics logo is written in script on the heel of the sneaker, and butterfly logo again at the tongue tag. Gnar is selling these sneakers at $160 per order.
So, is he already selling these? According to a video that has gone viral, Lil Gnar shows his sales that says he has received over 1,600 orders, totally over $285,000 in sales. Sizes 5-13 appear to still be available for purchase on the Gnarcotics website, should fans still want to grab theirs.
Since the sneakers and the box does appear to take direction inspiration from a Nike SB, it will be interesting to see if this design lasts for Lil Gnar. However, if the stats are true, looks like he will be doing quite well in his career, whether music of design.
