Fat Joe is known for his collection of rare Air Jordans and he went to the vault to show off some of his sneaker gems.
Joey Crack took to Instagram on Christmas (December 25) and transformed into the Sneaker Santa while pulling out a couple of pairs of exclusive sneakers to make sure everyone knows he’s still the king of kicks these days.
“SNEAKER SANTA… YOU’RE ALL WELCOME,” he wrote alongside photos of his patent leather Jordan 1’s inspired by the Rubik’s Cube. The multi-colored 1’s never actually released to the general public and a handful of pairs were crafted as samples and only a lucky few got their hands on them.
“I don’t know why anybody would play with you,” Offset — who owns an impressive sneaker collection himself — commented on the post.
Busta Rhymes and Benny The Butcher also hopped into the comment section and gave their stamps of approval.
That wasn’t it for the Sneaker Santa. Fat Joe then showcased his lemon-splashed OFF-WHITE x Air Jordan 1 Canary Yellow kicks designed by the late Virgil Abloh.
The Bronx rapper channeled his inner-Alicia Keys with his caption and Bun B had seen enough of Joe’s flexing.
“So you woke up on Christmas and chose violence? Cmon Joe you better than this,” Bun B quipped.
Fat Joe was friends with Virgil prior to his tragic 2021 passing and he later revealed they were planning on putting together a Terror Squad x OFF-WHITE Nike Air Force 1 collaboration just days before he died.
“Virgil contacted me two days before he passed away,” he told Complex. “And he wanted to do a TS x Off-White Air Force 1. Virgil wanted to design it. Like you said, Me, Bobbito, [DJ Clark Kent] were the first ones — you could add Mayor to that. He wanted to do it, but unfortunately, he passed away two days later.”
Virgil Abloh passed away on November 28, 2021, in Chicago following a private battle with cardiac angiosarcoma, a rare form of cancer.
