Nike Creates Biggie Tribute T-Shirts

Posted by C-Hyphen

Nike pays homage to the legendary KING of New York The Notorious B.I.G. with tribute tees

Nike has released two t-shirts to pay tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. One design appears to be inspired by Biggie’s first LP “Ready To Die” which adds a pair of Air Force 1′s to the silhouette of the baby that apperaed on the LP’s cover art. The other is a simple black Tee with “THE NOTORIOUS” across the chest.

The T-Shirts are currently available through Tradition but you gotta call and place an order.

(Little known fact: The baby on the cover of the “Ready To Die” album is actually B.I.G.’s daughter T’yanna)

I like how they put a positive spin on “Ready to Die.”

The design is simple and effective.

The shirts are corny Biggy wouldn’t even rock them. I hope Nike is giving 95% of the profits to Biggy’s moms so many people have ate off his plate after his death. Isn’t there anything thats sacred.
