The popularity of nasi lemak extends beyond our plates and the confines of eateries. Malaysia’s national dish will next be featured on a pair of sneakers!

Guaranteed to whet the appetites of sneakerheads, the colours of the sneakers represents the unity and diverse cultures of Malaysia. Foodies will be able to spot the familiar colours of a nasi lemak dish namely chili red, white rice, nutty brown, yellow egg yolk and green cucumber on the pair of sneakers.

According to reports, only 500 pairs will be available for grabs at an upcoming sneaker event and the pair of shoes won’t be sold online or in-stores. For hungry sneakerheads hoping to own a pair, they are priced at a whooping RM599.
