Nicki Minaj celebrates one of her most iconic albums, The Pinkprint, which is a classic that was released back in 2014. She honors the milestone with an Air Jordan 6 Low PE sneaker model that is designed in a Pinkprint colorway palette to commemorate the original release and the tour.
The low-cut silhouette represents the artist's aesthetic with bright neon purple and pink throughout the upper. It is applied in a gradient style and then met with crisp white leather overlaying on top. Additional details include the chromed lace toggles over the forefoot and it rests on top of an icy pink tonal sole unit. It is rounded out by The Pinkprint-themed fingerprint graphics on the insole and heel.
