Jay-Z’s All Black Everything Nike Air Force Ones
In celebration of Nike and Hov’s partnership at the World Basketball Festival
@Jay-z
There aren’t many people that can lay claim to having their own Nike shoe. Yeah there’s his airness but he had one for a very good reason, he wore them and made the company a boatload of money. But if there’s anyone who deserves his signature pair of classic Air Force 1′s its Jay-Z. And now he has em.
The Air Force One All Black Everything collection was unveiled earlier today by Nike in conjuction with the World Basketball Festival, The clothing company’s four-day celebration of the performance and culture of the international sport. Jay-Z will perform at Radio City Music Hall tomorrow night as the opening act of the event which showcases world’s best basketball teams and top musical performers. Naturally he will have a pair of his crispy new 1′s on display.
These kicks are just one of five All Black Everything Collection designs created to represent each of the participating countries and only two pairs of each design have been made. Hov will keep one pair for the trophy case and the other will be auctioned off tomorrow on eBay to benefit his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.
The World Basketball Festival runs through the weekend and features teams from France, Brazil and China. Team members will make appearances around New York City prior to taking part in a doubleheader Sunday at Madison Square Garden. The Americans will face the French before China meets Brazil.
