In the dynamic world of sneaker collaborations, the latest buzz surrounds the partnership between rap sensation Lil Yachty and sportswear giant Nike. Lil Yachty, often hailed as the rap industry’s most fervent sneaker aficionado, has frequently showcased his extensive sneaker collection, affirming his status within the sneaker culture.
His journey from a Reebok brand ambassador to a Nike collaborator reflects his evolving relationship with sneaker brands, culminating in this latest venture. The collaboration was teased by Yachty himself during a casual revelation at Cool Kicks LA, hinting at his own rendition of the classic Air Force 1 silhouette, a design that has remained a staple since its inception in 1982.
The “Concrete Boys” edition of the Air Force 1 Low features a premium white leather upper contrasted with dark navy accents, paying homage to Yachty’s Concrete Boys label. The sneaker is further personalized with “It’s Us” branding on the tongue and photo blue insoles, making it a distinctive piece in any collection. Despite initial speculation and a brief period of denial from Yachty, the project has officially been unveiled.
