A$AP Rocky hit IG stories yesterday to preview new music from his upcoming album. In said time, he also showed a never before seen pair of sneakers.
The shoe bares aesthetic similarities to that of the Osiris D3 that Flacko unearthed from the 2000s recently on the street. Though all-black on the upper with a white midsole in the IG story video shared by Rocky, alongside new music and AWGE gear, upon paparazzi pics with flash it appears the upper sports blacked out 3M.
What’s more? The D3-eqsue upper tooling shows shades of contorted finger styling, similar to Rocky’s flash heavy digital art for last album’s “Ms” single. In addition, the shoe sports a hang tag, kept both interesting and unofficial with sample tape work on the sidewall and tongue.
While rumors of a Rocky shoe spawned by his Under Armour deal were set aflame with what ended up being a showroom shot of Flacko eyeing over upcoming UAS product, there’s far from any official compact on the origin or intended destination of said silo. Rocky has been known to debut designer shoes from Dior and has done deals with everyone from Guess to Calvin Klein in the past, so we’ll have to stay tuned to find out just where this model might be branded.
love these shoes.
