these were made in honor of one of my favorite albums of all time, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Back in the day before CD's had taken over this album existedon a purple tape and that always stuck with me. I finally had the time to make these, but I've had the idea for quite some time.
They feature a translucent purple sole, transparent side panels(with a tape graphic), and transparent swooshes. They also have graphics of the lyrics to someof my favorite songs with actual cassette tape strewn throughout the shoe.

looking nice... a better version to just a clear af1's... yet i wouldn't mind having these and the base shoes.

And the craftsmanship looks horrible.
 
nice job i wouldve had them match the album cover. nice choice for the incarcerated scarfaces lyrics on the shoes. i saw that %%$% live at a GZA show, raekwonwasnt even supposed to be there the crowd went nuts

that woulda been too "easy" (theme-wise).....album artwork has been done before so I wanted to go a different way
