Lil Wayne, Mike Jones & Lupe Fiasco sign Reebok deal

Wednesday, February 22, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Mike JonesRappers Lil’ Wayne, Mike Jones, and newcomer Lupe Fiasco recently signed deals with Reebok to release their own collective signature sneaker. As part of Reebok’s “I Am What I Am” promotional campaign, each artist will serve as a spokesperson under the company’s “OG Collection.”

Although Weezie, Jones, and Lupe’s sneakers will share the same overall design, there will be three color schemes to represent each rappers’ individual style and sound. The sneakers will be available in stores on February 28.

Other artists and athletes who have previously participated in Reebok’s “I Am What I Am” campaign include Def Jam president Jay-Z, G-Unit rapper 50 Cent, Philadelphia 76ers’ Allen Iverson, and Houston Rockets’ Yao Ming.

That's a real good look for all these artist who signed the deal because as far promotions,reebok will have that area covered.

Lil wayne put his time in, but isn't mike jones a little too new(and a little too wack) to have his own shoe already? its not like they're athletes

Yeah but you know business tycoon look at new rappers like dollar signs. It's a money thing homie. As far as you and me and anybody else with sense is concerned, mike is too garbage to even be put on like that. But like i said it's a popularity contest. Reebok knows mike jones and and basically all the down south rappers are drawing the majority of the attention from the same audience they cater to. So it just makes sense to piggyback off of their fame to get paid. It's a law of power: never do for yourself what someone else will/can do for you. And to all yall reppin the south... I'm not sayin all the southern rappers are garbage cuz all of'em aint, but for real ya'll... Mike jones who? mike jones who? mike jones who? mike jones who? mike jones who? mike jones who? damn...

Lil wayne is sh*t and i've not heard of the other 2, if any southern rappers should get their own shoes it's ludacris, or ying yang twins.

^^^^^ you must of heard of lupe fiasco, hes in touch the sky, the best part of the track. I want those lupe fiasco ones.

Ying yang betta than weezy, are you on crack? and if you say that mike jones is too new to have a sneaker than so if lupe fiasco, cause mike jones been out longer than him.
Posted by Ahmad
Lupe's kicks should be that fire... He is gonna make some real noise this summer.
Posted by Gordon Gartrelle
Wezzy is hot and everybody know's it. Yang ying twins made three good songs while wezzy made hundreds.
Posted by quanisha
Its not surprising about weezy but good lookin to mike jones and lupe. Lupe is gonna bring that classic hip hop back. I can't wait for his album and sneaks to drop.

If ya'll see cense 251 on this site run his punk out hes a snitch and a punk ass Bia'ch

Me personally i dont like reeboks, im more of a nike person myself, but i did cop those s.carter chi-town editions, i think wayne is hot, but he's just know starting to come into his own, mike jones is a F*ck*ng bum, but lupe fiasco is one of the best rappers that knowbody has ever heard of, he's what i call a throwback rapper, im talking real hip hop, jigga himself is executive producer of his upcoming ablum, plus we are from the same hood, west side of chicago, so be on the lookout for this n*gga lupe, eric young infinite as well, chi-town Bia'ches.
Posted by Eric young Infinite
Lol wuts wrong wit this guy.
Posted by cense251
F*ck you n*gga, what's wrong with this tip in your mouth P*ss*, you call yourself cense251, when your name should be Bia'ch251, like i said hoe ass n*gga, chi-town Bia'ches.
Posted by Eric young Infinite
I know the comments have nothing to do with the sneakers, cuz them shyts is bogus anyways......but i agree, i'm from ny and i have ppls in chi town that dude lupe fiasco is doing big things..............so much luv to west side chi town (bellwood)...................and last but not least the bronx (bronxdale pjs)
Posted by TriniNativePR
Lil wayne is developing into a decent artist, but he should just keep all the "weezy f baby" and "birdman jr" to a minimum. Lupe fiasco is primed for an breakout year. But mike jones is just plain garbage but his album sold so of course its all about promotion when it comes to him. The other 2 have skill. The peeps at reebok dont care who's best. They just care who is gonna promote their shoes better. I'm a nike man myself but i might consider the lupe & lil wayne shoes. The dikes? hell no

Posted by cense251
Damn no one looked at the kool herc article.... This man is a legend-he is hip hop. I bet if 50 or jay do something everyone break their neck to read up on thier moves. W/o herc there would be no hiphop. Big up all the west indian massive seen!!!!!!!

Ye lupes icks will be hot
Posted by bAlLiNBalLa
Yeah that sounds hot, a pair of "fiasco's". Lupe is only new to mainstream, he put out 2 albums underground that were ill, at least the few tracks i heard from them. He has a unique rhyme style that's different like freeway and peedi crack, he sounds nothing like them, but you know how you knew freeway and peedi cracks rhymes from anyone else, lupe's style is like that, he reminds me of a younger jigga, like reasonable doubt, vol.1 days. Weezy, i like weezy's style, i just hate how fake and manufactured it is for him, but i am proud of him at the same time, being the only one keeping cash money on top, F*ck him and his shoes though.
Posted by KingJames313
Can i get a limited edition pair of ghostface's reebok?
Posted by KingJames313
Mike jones, i don't really care for his music at all, but more power (money) to him, i love to see black folks gettin' money, i don't hate, i appreciate.
Posted by KingJames313
Yeah reebok! but i dont like either weezy & jones...ggggg....ggggg......g-unit/west so how good are the hurricanes selling? i haven't seen no1 in da hood with them hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! me-over
Posted by Roehr
In a minute all these clones-will drown out. And real hip hop will come to the fore front again.
Posted by cense251
Im waitin 4 da day where/there will be no more "oh i think they like me"- laffy taffy, or im in love wit a stripper, oh my goodies, or touch up on it. Smh im tired of all these wack ass rappers and r n b stunts.
Posted by cense251

Posted by victorylap

Posted by Spiltmilk
What the F*ck is it with you 3 got nothing better to do than have pops at each other over the internet why not post something useful or noting at all.
Posted by England lad
Some of yall callin lil wayne a stunt and sayin hes sht F*ck that homes is on top now he let pplz have they time its his time now hes been in the game a long time its his turn to come up as for the othrs they aint nuttin real yt im sayin thy on they come up but like lil weezy
Posted by spazzmatik101
They all deserve it, waye is an old but reborn face in the game, mike jones is a break through in the music industry, and lupe fiasco is lyrically ahead of his time, in 2011 everyone will just be catchin up to these artist, and the shoe will be a popular retro shoe like the jordans and air forces. A classic. Fnf up!

But he's only makin three albums whats with that? but still, i've got just about every track he has on my ipod, and i just grabbed food & liquor, can't wait for the cool, the song is sick, and i might even grab me a pair of his shoes, though i dress skater.

Wow...its says right above this pointless comments will be deleted, haha! i guess not judging from the last... I dont even know most of them sounded like they were from morons... Sry but its true... Bottomline... I wouldn't be caught dead in reeboks, let alone, some rapper reebok's... Im not in middle or highschool anymore, and even when i was i was never a prick rider... Jay-z is cool, lupe is my dude, but im not rockin there kicks... They are damn rappers not athletes, when they come out with there own special stereo systems or something that has anything to do with music i might think about it... But just cause a dude can spit, or in this case people like some of them cause mike jones can not spit and is not a rapper, he is a guy who raps to get paid, and there is a difference... Why the hell would anyone buy someones shoes because they like there music? it just seems retarded, its like buying shaq's album because you like the way he plays basketball? i feel sorry for the youth... I see people in hear talking about this is gonna be hot or thats gonna be hot, you are all morons... The sneakers are all going to be basically the same design, cant you read!? only thing that will make them different is the color... Why am i even wasting my time...im never going to even come back to this page im too mature for this sh*t... I only wrote this cause im bored but wow, the youth is screwed... Damn masses man, dont even know when your getting played like stupid a$$ sheep. 1
