Andre´ "3000" Benjamin is bringing his unique style to footwear. Collaborating with the Swedish lifestyle brand Tretorn the two have created shoe styles for both men and women. Growing up in Atlanta inspired the collection as Andre´ wore the classic Nylite shoe in which he would add his own touch in high school. Through the capsule collection, “I Andre´ Benjamin will not draw in class”, he will add his own designs to each shoe as he would as a teen.
These custom Andre´ 3000 creative designed shoes are about $150.
If you are similar to 3000 and want to relieve an exciting moment in your childhood, then be on the lookout for this collab. The full collection is set to release in February, but if you are filled with excitement and can’t wait, head over to Wish at Little Five Points in Atlanta, GA or online at Tretorn.com.
“Growing up, we’d all put our personal stamp onto the blank canvas of the Nylite and I’d sketch out my own designs. This collaboration felt like fun because it brought me back to that place of personalizing these original designs”.-Andre Benjamin
We hope to see more from Andre´ 3000 as he is such a creative individual.
