Hip-hop rap producer Just Blaze is launching a pair of sleek suede sneakers that are inspired by the swanky style of casinos. The shoes are mostly red, with green, yellow and black accents that mimic those of poker tables.

Inspired by Ralph Lauren Polos, Just Blaze teamed up with [Packer Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megaride-s2) and [Saucony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3sixteen-x-saucony-peregrine-15-gesso) to create these [unique suede sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodega-x-puma). Using the Saucony Grid SD style as their base, the detailed shoes sport the numbers 0 and 36 on their heels, taken from the bookends of a roulette table's betting choices.

The kicks come with a matching t-shirt, tote bag and bucket hat to finish off a high-rolling look in style. Other gambling accessories such as playing cards and a pair of dice will be added bonus gifts as well.
