After having collaborated with Eminem on an Air Force 1 and an Air Max 1, Nike is once again working with the Detroit rapper, this time to create a special edition Air Jordan 2 (purportedly his favorite sneaker) inspired by his new book, “The Way I Am.” The shoe was unveiled at the release party for the book, and will be limited to 313 pairs, paying tribute to the area code of Eminem’s home town. The general colorway of the shoe isn’t a tremendous departure from the norm, using a lot of black, grey and red. What makes the shoe stand out are the handwritten lyrics from different Eminem songs scrawled across the upper and toe, a unique idea to really add a personal touch to the AJ2. No release date has been announced yet. Proceeds from this ultra-limited release will go to the Marshal Mathers Foundation.
