EMINEM TURNS SNEAKER DESIGNER

EMINEM has teamed up with sports giant Nike to design a range of sneakers to raise money for impoverished children in the rapper’s home state of Michigan.

The hip-hop star, real name MARSHALL MATHERS III, is designing 64 pairs of limited edition Air Max trainers, which will be autographed and sold from internet auction site eBay and Nike stores from 31 August (06).

Eminem enthuses, “If you told me ten years ago that I'd be designing this whole series of Air Maxs, I never would have believed it.

“It's one of the hottest lines that Nike ever produced, so I'm honoured to make my own contribution. My only problem was figuring out how to make the shoes different from stuff they've already done: Nike always has the dopest colour combos.”

Proceeds from the sale will go to the LIKE TOY SOLDIERS hitmaker’s Marshall Mathers Foundation and NineMillion.org – an international campaign to educate young refugees.
