Kids in the UK won't have to do much to step into rapper
Dizzee Rascal's shoes anymore (and it won't involve too much
maths or
english either). Dizzee has partnered with
Nike to promote his new album with an exclusive shoe designed by longtime collaborator and creative director
Ben Drury and the Nike Design team. The kicks, Nike Air Max 90's, are nicknamed "Tongue N' Cheek," after the forthcoming fourth LP of the same name. More details plus a promo vid after the jump.
The shoes go on sale exclusively at Nike's 1948 store in London's Shoreditch (sorry Stateside kids) on 9/18, ahead of the release of
Tongue N' Cheek on 9/21. The video below was created to bolster both releases, the shoes and the songs, and features laid back track "Chillin Wiv Da Man Dem." The film, masterminded by Drury, fuses elements of the album artwork and follows Dizzee while wearing his new kicks. Check it out:
