Converse has teamed up with Atlanta rapper Big Boi to release a limited edition pair of Chuck Taylor’s in honor of his newly released album "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty."
The all-white Chuck Taylor’s feature the words “Sir Lucious Left Foot” on the left shoe and “The Son Of Chico Dusty” on the right shoe. The tongue of the sneaker features the Big Boi crown logo.
"Everyone knows the Converse All Star logo and I was honored when they approached me to create a design in celebration of my album release," Big Boi said in a statement. "It means a lot to me to give back to the fans that support my music, and as long as I can remember music and Converse have gone hand in hand, so partnering up with them was a no-brainer."
The limited edition Sir Lucious Left Foot Chuck Taylor’s cannot be purchased, but a limited amount will be given away on several online outlets in the near future. Roc4Life is currently giving away a pair - the other specific outlets giving away the pairs of Chuck Taylor’s has yet to be announced. (Of course RefinedHype is pushing to deliver the goods.)
"Big Boi’s Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty" was released on July 6, and it might just be the album of the year.
