FILA Announced Biggie Smalls Sneakers

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.‘s legendary Ready to Die album, as well as what would have been his 48th birthday last Thursday, FILA has decided to create a commemorative capsule in his honor. Alongside a full apparel range is a duo of special Biggie x FILA Tennis 88 sneakers. The kicks pay tribute to the late rapper through dual branded tongues with the number 25 just beneath its crown insignias, the famous baby photo from the album art translated onto the footbeds, as well as the words “Ready To Die” embroidered on the heel counter. Two colorways including a cream/red as well as a white/aqua blue were released on fila.com on May 19th for $90 a piece.
