Rumor has it, Lupe Fiasco has landed his very own Vans OTM sneaker deal. This a great addition to the Lupe Fiasco business empire. It seems that hip hop an fashion are directly correlated; more and more entertainers are expressing a passion for fashion. For instance, Rapper Lil Wayne is currently promoting his Trukfit Clothing Line, while just yesterday, I reported the news that Basketball Wive's Draya Michelle just launched her new Fine Ass Girls clothing line.
According to KarenCivil.com
Rapper Lupe Fiasco has been granted a creative control and design partnership with Vans OTW (Off The Wall) shortly after releaseing one of the noted releaset hip hop albums this past fall. “Food & Liquor II: An All American Rap Album” thrusted Lupe Fiasco into the spotlight again as one of the dopest MC’s with a creative and distinct fashion style seemingly inspired by New York street wear and hard to be duplicated. All about embracing culture and the true meaning of the African American Root, Lupe Fiasco brings the same qualties to Vans as he adds a tribal knit pattern to his new “Stovepipe” shoe on the Vans line.
