UPDATE: Nipsey Hussle Takes to twitter to call this Reebok Classic Nylon “unauthorized” while reiterating his affiliation with Puma and that he’ll take legal action. While the shoes do not actually use Nipsey’s name on the shoe, there are heavy references to Nipsey using “Crenshaw” and “Slauson” as well as “Rich Rolling” which can be speculated to be connected. Nipsey Hussle was also featured recently on an advertisement by Jordan Brand and Foot Locker for the Gatorade line. In all, footwear retailers have also labeled the shoe with his name on their release calendars

Los Angeles rapper Nipsey Hussle teamed up with Reebok to release a special edition Classic Nylon inspired by the LA Dodgers and Crips gang.

This Reebok Classic Nylon is inspired by Nipsey’s neighborhood streets notorious for being one of the most violent areas in LA. The silhouette features a Bright Blue suede and mesh upper paired with White snakeskin overlays. The “Crenshaw” and “Slauson” are embossed on the back heel and Nipsey’s famous song “Rich Rolling” is embroidered on the heel tab while other details includes graphic-printed insoles and inner tongue tabs with Reebok Classic logos.
