The marathon continues for Nipsey Hussle’s epochal legacy in the finance, music, fashion, education and real estate industries.
His team announced on Tuesday (August 20) on Instagram that Puma will help preserve his movement in style by releasing the late rap mogul’s signature sneaker collection to the public on September 5.
“Nipsey spearheaded this project from concept to final product over the course of last year, flying to meetings, reviewing samples, bringing in material references he liked, and most importantly ensuring that it reflected his style authentically with no compromise,” Nip’s team said in the caption. “Each detail from logo placement, fit, colorways, and materials was thoughtfully done. His signature style and DNA can be found in each garment that’s part of this collection from the khaki suit to the tracksuit.”
There will be a new design for the kicks compared to the previously designs as shown below.

“This project is very special to our team and we’re handling it with the utmost care to ensure it’s delivered exactly as Nipsey envisioned it,” Nip’s team continued in the statement. “It’s a privilege for us to honor his commitment and carry out this project for people to receive a personally curated collection by Nip Hussle Tha Great.”
This announcement comes in the wake of what would have been Nipsey’s 34th birthday on August 15, five months after he was murdered in front of his Marathon clothing store in Los Angeles.

Dis right here gone enhance da marathon growth. And im 1,000000000 supporting da move and i gotta get every pair and color !!! Keep me posted on da shoes epically different colors and design
No coincidence that one of the people overseeing Puma’s shoe division is Jay Z is it? Choke pointed out the jay lapd hats on the website with no marathon sigilium on it either. Are we just going to continue to keep using Nipsey without all of the proper rights and royalties going to the immediate family or what?
And Nipsey was so damn good even Michael Jackson made a collab album with him. Too bad it’s shelved.
Personally, my taste in shoes so far away from the bulky-boat like shoes, but might just cop these to rep for Nipsey.
You’d think nipsey was kendrick the way they’ve gone on and on about his death. He had been rapping for years and had no buzz outside of hiphop and somehow he became some millenial cause. Nothing against him but this whole thing is really disingenious.
