On Sunday (April 30), the Virginia-bred singer announced via Instagram the upcoming release of his exclusive shoe capsule collaboration with multi-media company, The Auracles, and 3D print designer Nos Ailes.

A few animated specs are shown in the post to give you an idea of what the slides would look like. The footwear’s exact release date is unknown, because the singer mentioned May without a date — however, they are likely to be released in the near future.
“THE OFFICIAL “NAMI “ SLIDES DROPPING IN MAY… @theauracles_ @nosailes @deano_32,” he wrote in the caption.

In a separate post, Brown gave fans another peek at the shoes. As he noted in the comments, he has been developing the shoes for nearly two-and-a-half years.
In other related news, the singer recently received some high praise from Pharrell. While performing at Skateboard P’s annual festival in Virginia Beach, Pharrell praised him for his singing and dancing talents, as well as his music videos.
“Nah, nah, nah,” P began. “Make some noise for our brother. Came all the way over here to make this happen. Make some noise for Virginia’s own, Chris Brown! Lil bro, listen, there’s only one you. There’s only one you.
“Give this man his flowers again, make some noise for Virginia’s own! The dancing-est, singing-est, craziest video-making singing dude in R&B and pop music until now. Make some noise for our brother Chris Brown!”
