Kendrick Lamar’s decision to link up with Reebok for a dope collaboration is doing more than just selling shoes. The TDE frontrunner has been pushing for peace amongst the Bloods and the Crips. His new shoe, which features both red and blue, is causing a stir on the block. Don’t get it twisted; there’s nothing bad coming from it. Watch as two gang members from both sides talk about the benefits of the collaboration after the jump!
Kendrick Lamar recently shared a video of two gang members, a Piru Blood and a Crip, speaking on the benefits of his Reebok collaboration. K. dot’s version of the “Ventilators” feature red accents one one shoe and blue accents on the other. The inner tongue also has the word “neutral.”
As they sat with each other to discuss their feelings, both of them agreed that there’s nothing negative to say about the shoes. In fact, they are a sign that both gangs are working towards squashing their beefs in the streets of Compton as well as the rest of the country.
Just two days after their release, the Kendrick Lamar x Reebok Ventilators are already sold out online (thanks to bots and resellers). While your search for the coveted sneakers continues, watch as the Bloods and the Crips make progress on the path to peace courtesy of Kendrick Lamar.
