Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan fame is slowly building up his sneaker collaboration portfolio with the help of Packer Shoes yet again. After a successful release of the “Snow Beach”-inspired colorway of the diadora b elite social status x pic wine, the legendary hip-hop artist and one of the world’s longest-running sneaker shops are colliding once again with the Diadora N.9000, arguably the Italian brand’s flagship Rhodamine shoe. The “Purple Tape” theme shines brightly beyond the actual colorway of the shoe, because one Materiale isn’t enough to carry the weight of Raekwon’s classic LP.
