Other than music, Fat Joe is also known for his extensive Air Jordan collection. Not only does the rap mogul carry all kinds of rare heat and general release J’s, he also has a line of Air Jordan PEs, exclusive only to the man himself and his crew.  Today, we can take a quick look at an Air Jordan VIII (8) “Terror Squade” PE in Midnight Navy/Peapod – Orange Blaze that surfaced recently. This PE is probably a 1 of 1 piece of Rare Air that is kept deep in the Terror Squad sneaker archives. Thanks to MN for sharing.

Like him or not, Fat Joe has an ill sneaker collection, lots of platinum, plenty of cars, nine studio albums, and of course, front row courtside Knicks tickets. Joe’s Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.) released in 2001 and went platinum. J.O.S.E. 2 dropped today and will likely sell more than any record that you made! Don’t hate the rapper, hate politics. Don’t hate on his collection, hate that you envy it. We are all Sneaker Heads, sneaker connoisseurs, sneaker collectors… whatever. Joe’s an aficionado like us and we respect his art and hustle… Who cares if he’s not the only one with Kobe Jordan VII PEs?! Do you have them? Respect was Joe’s first hit record, and it’s only fitting. Jealous people are weak. Congrats to Joe for the release of his 9th studio album.

Joe has been kind enough to hook up Sneaker Files 10 autographed copies of JOSE 2 to give to our readers. We will be giving the autographed CDs to winners of our Hip-Hop trivia competition on Twitter!

Be sure to follow @SneakerFiles and @JoeyCrackTS in order to qualify for the contest.

We only have 10 albums for the contest, so make sure to hit up iTunes, Amazon, or the local record store to secure your copy.

With most signature sneakers retailing over $100, it is always nice to see someone caring about those that are less fortunate than others. Protege recently added Fat Joe to their list of sponsorships, and are set to unveil this model later in the year for a retail price of $34.99. We showed you a preview of Fat Joe’s first signature sneaker, The Recession, back in March, and we now have a look at his second model. This pair hosts a nubuck upper accented by a patent leather strap, a perforated toebox, a white mid-sole, and several red accents. As previously mentioned, Fat Joe’s Protege sneakers are now available at K-Mart stores for $34.99
