Wiz has also explained why he hooked up with Converse for the new line.

“I’ve always gravitated toward Converse because of how solid the brand is. It’s clean and it’s classic. I was excited to collaborate with the team at Converse because I felt they really got my individual style and vision. The sneakers in my collection are dope and I’m excited to share them with my fans.” (Statement)

Diehard Taylor Gang fans will reportedly be able to get their hands on the kicks next week.

After a brief teaser earlier this summer, Wiz Khalifa unveils his new Converse Collection. Hip Hop Wired shares photos of the collection, which includes olive green high tops in the classic Chuck Taylor silhouette with mint green and blue accents. The site shares that the heel area features premium leather and colorful camouflage accents on the sole and inner lining. The sneaker is available in olive green and gray camo models so far. The collection will hit Foot Locker retail locations Aug. 23. (The Drop FM)

The rapper has kept busy, most recently adding Ty Dollar $ign to his crew.

“Look here, man, I’m not even going to hold you people anymore,” Wiz said in an video. “This dude right here makes amazing music, I’m a huge fan, been a huge fan, so it’s only right that Ty Dollar $ign joins Taylor Gang, you know what I mean? It is what it is, he smokes a ton of pot, too. So we’re going to pass the jar, it’s a little thing we like to do over at Taylor Gang, just a small token of our appreciation for coming over here. And congratulations on a dope a** mixtape. Beach House 2, make sure you guys go and get that right now. I’m passing the jar, bruh. Smoke that.” (Civil TV)
