Big Boi x Converse

So Big Boi "designs" a pair of Converse in honor of his recent release, Sir Lucious Left Foot, and the tongue seems to be the most interesting part.

Well, let's get his take on the shoes:

Converse – Big Boi Limited Edition Shoes

Ooh, timeless classics! I think the limited edition nature and the official cosign by Big Boi is the value here, certainly not the "design".

And given the ugly fur he wears in the video for Follow Us that doesn't match his clothes or the club and only vaguely relates to a line or two in the song, maybe his visual aesthetic isn't as developed as his musical aesthetic?

I'm not trying to hate here. I'd like to like these things but I'm currently just baffled. I mean, if I'm in Bankhead, checking for saucers or spaceships or classic cars, I'm not sure I'd be wearing these shoes.

Which makes me wonder.  Has Andre 3000 been dressing him up till now?
