When the Raekwon x Packer Shoes x Diadora N9000 ‘Purple Tape’ debuted at SOB’s, New York hip-hop radio station Hot 97 stopped through to catch up with the man of the hour. Hundreds of people lined up at 8 am to meet Raekwon and have him sign their pairs.
Most importantly, Raekwon confirms that a shoe is in the works to celebrate another phenomenal album from the Wu, Ironman, by Ghostface. Ironman, featuring Raekwon and Cappadonna, turns twenty years old in 2016. You can skip to 5:46 in the video to peep that. I wasn’t too mad about not getting pair of the Purple Tapes. However, I will need a pair of whatever Packer and company do to celebrate one of the greatest records of all time.
The video is great; Raekwon shows his dedication to his fans and ignores the interviewer to speak to a young kid that waited online for hours to meet him. He also discusses whether or not a Wu-Tang movie could be in the works. Check it out below and share your thoughts in the comments.
