eggplant foamposites

Rap artist Wale was seen in the latest issue of Dime Magazine sporting the upcoming ‘Eggplant’ Air Foamposite 1 in an ad for LRG. Wale has been known to have strong ties to the sneaker community including companies like Nike. As for the sneakers, they are made up of the traditional combination of black and varsity purple as well as regular sole, as opposed to the icy sole seen on the samples seen in June. However, most will have to wait till February 2009 and pay $200 to get their hands on these.

  11. Some of your most precious possessions in the sole need to be handled carefully. It is also that picture of the sole. This time, we headed south, toward CLEAR.
