The Grid Azura 2000 sneaker received a Jae Tips makeover with the addition of whimsical and certainly bright colors and clashing prints crafted of high-quality materials made to last. Every last detail is thoughtfully crafted down to the custom-branded box paying homage to the “Lafayette Gods” rapper’s Bronx roots.
Taking a closer look at the playful pair, deep purple and light blue suede decorate the tan mesh uppers in a swirling free-flowing design intermixed with zebra, pastel floral and checkerboard print, crafting a visually maximalist experience. The shoes also feature hot pink textural waffle-esque fabric on the tongue along with subtle gold trim, embroidery, a co-branded woven label, and thick and cushy rubber soles that offer the wearer a comfortable and walkable experience.
