Sneaker News 
Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan fame is slowly building up his sneaker collaboration portfolio with the help of Packer Shoes yet again. After a successful release of the “Snow Beach”-inspired colorway of the Saucony Grid 9000, the legendary hip-hop artist and one of the world’s longest-running sneaker shops are colliding once again with the Diadora N.9000, arguably the Italian brand’s flagship retro shoe. The “Purple Tape” theme shines brightly beyond the actual colorway of the shoe, because one pair isn’t enough to carry the weight of Raekwon’s classic LP. Custom Yankee fitteds and an awesome re-issue of the 95 Vintage track jacket will be available, so read below for the full details on how and where to cop these on Thursday, August 20th.
