Rapper Sneaker Collaborations

A$AP Ferg Teams Up with adidas for This 'Trap Lord' Release

Harlem rapper A$AP Ferg teamed up with adidas Skateboarding to create this 'Trap Lord' capsule collection.

The collection will feature the release of the 'Trap Lord x adidas adi-Ease' skate sneaker in both a black and cream colored shoe design. The low profile suede sneaker will be adorned with designs inspired by canvas paintings. The shoes will pay tribute to the memory of rapper A$AP Yams who recently passed away. Writing is on prominent display throughout the sneaker's upper, and is even printed on the shoe's laces as well. A contrasting gold colored branding also decorates the shoe alongside the words "Hood Pope" from the A$AP Ferg song of the same name.

The capsule release will also feature two shirt designs available in both black and white that are also decorated with the rapper's distinctive sense of style.
