West coast rapper Snoop Dogg has hooked up with Adidas to design an exclusive shoe for the Adidas Originals Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The Adidas Snoop Dogg sneaker comes in an all-black colorway and features a pair of eyes on the tongue that rap fans will remember from the cover art of Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle album.
Usually when rappers put their name on a shoe, that's all they put on it. I like the Adidas Snoop Dogg sneaker because it's built for true rap fans. The shoe has a smart design that means nothing to people who aren't real rap fans.
