Nike Huarache Air Force 1 Purple/Black

2008-12-13T05:40:00.004-05:00

This purple colorway of the Nike Huarache Air Force 1 is definitely on point with the seamless black suede toebox. Resting a top the translucent purple sole makes for a good look, and the comfort will surely be better than your typical AF1.

While the Hybridization of the Air Force 1 has been a hate it or love it design style, the latest colorway might just change up the mixed feelings that we originally got from the white on whites.

So what this verse is recycled, it still fits this remix faultlessly.

"With the same sword they knight you, they gon' good night you with
Shit, that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
see Martin, see Malcolm
See Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas
See Caesar, see Brutus, see success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified
Media meddles, niggaz sue you, you settle
Every step you take, they remind you you're ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now
And the question is, "Is to have had and lost
Better than not having at all?"
