Jay-Z and Nike Reunite for a White on White Reasonable Doubt Anniversary Roc-A-Fella Air Force 1

Jay-Z has been outside more this summer than any season in recent memory. The rap icon debuted a new look at the Roots Picnic in Philly and hasn’t shied away from the spotlight since. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of his iconic debut album, Reasonable Doubt, last week, Jay and his team took over the Bowery J-Z MTA subway station for a merch drop and party celebrating the record’s birthday.

Politics As Usual

Adding the most sought-after piece of Jay-Z merch back into rotation, Nike returned to one of its best collabs ever, stamping a Roc-A-Fella Records logo on the heel of an Air Force 1 Low. Ramping things up a bit, the new triple-white pair keeps it classic in color, but adds a Reasonable Doubt logo and umlauts to the mix.

The Jay-Z Nike Air Force 1 Low Reasonable Doubt 30th Anniversary starts with a traditional triple-white Uptown. To start the collab details, Nike adds umlauts over the lateral Swoosh and the “K” in Nike Air on the heel tab. On the right shoe, a Roc logo is embossed on the heel, and on the left shoe, a Reasonable Doubt 1996 logo is raised on the heel.
