Nas Fila Italia sneakers unveiled (Photos)

 

Last week Nas' Untitled album dropped and now his signature sneaker with Fila is coming out. The obvious question is "Why Fila?"

 

The story goes that growing up young Nasir and his best friend "Ill Will" Graham loved the brand. With that Nas pays homage to his friend who passed away after being shot in 1992.

“My best friend Will and I loved Fila. It represented prestige and everything that was cool to us. When Will passed, we buried him in a black Fila sweat suit, so doing a deal with them has a lot of significance for me.”

I like the the blue, red and white one. I forgot to mention that they'll sell for $80.

I have recently come around to the charms of Fila--there's something awesomely ugly about them. These joints are beastly.

The shoes are ok...now that Fila jacket on the other hand...where can I cop that?

That jacket looks pricey but maybe I'm wrong.

jacket is from fila-japan, it's vintage, but they reissued... they were selling through urbanoutfitters.com but maybe it's sold out now...
