Houston rapper Riff Raff tried to pull a fast one over Instagram fans recently after claiming he had a new collaborative effort with popular sneaker company Air Jordan.
Despite the viral promotion, a representative shut down Riff’s claim.
This past weekend, Jordan Brand called BS on the whole thing. “At this time there are currently no plans for this shoe or a collaboration with this individual,” a Jordan rep told HipHopWired.com. (MTV)
Check out the original sneaker Riff posted up right here…
Last week, Riff promoted an alleged collaborative sneaker with Air Jordan.
In winter 2013, Young Money’s Drake designed his own OVO Air Jordan 12s.
Did you spend the weekend tracking down that new pair of Jordan 10s? While you were up to that, recent Jordan Brand signee Drake was somewhere relaxing ahead of the Grammys show, knowing that he’d not have to worry about access to exclusive Jordans. Proof comes in the form of his Air Jordan 10 “OVO” and Air Jordan 12 “OVO” pairs-there are two colors of each, and all four feature a deluxe stingray leather treatment. (Sneaker News)
Last year, rap veteran Nas spoke on seeing artists like Drizzy and Kanye West doing major sneaker deals.
“That’s what we do. That is what we are all about. If those sneakers come out and kill, it just shows how much hip-hop guys love their shoes. Hip-hop guys should be behind the design of sneakers.” (Complex)
lmaooo cornball ass nigga! Mike be around enough real artists to know wassup. But I don’t think word was even serious enough for it to travel all the way up to the top! The security guard at Jordan headquarters could’ve shut Riff Raff lame ass down for all we know! Whoever did, glad they did it.
“Proto type” is just somebody playing around with ideas on photoshop ……. doesn’t mean a deal is done …… dude jumped out the window and shot himself in the foot on the way down ……. smh
