Soulja Boy Gets His Own Shoe

It looks like Soulja Boy will join the likes of Missy Elliott, Hurricane Chris, and so many other rappers who have their own shoe; but unlike those that I named, Soulja Boy has opted not to sign with a major shoe company. Instead, his shoe will be distributed from a small company out of Dallas called Yum and will [reportedly] run for about $85. In addition, each shoe will come with a Yum mixtape and be featured in solid and two toned colors.

Personally, I think this is a real good look for Soulja Boy and I respect his decision to not go with a major shoe company. While still expensive, his shoes are reasonably priced and will help bring exposure to this small company; quite possibly turning them into a major corporation. All that remains to be seen, however, but you can't deny that Soulja Boy has made out pretty well for himself since exploding on the scene. He may not be the saving grace for Hip-Hop, but his mentality is Hip-Hop through and through. Anyway, check out his sneakers below and let me know what you think.
