Product Description
Flushed out in an incredibly vibrant purple that only truly high-quality of suede can hold, the Packer Shoes x Raekwon x Diadora N9000 "Purple Tape" was introduced in August of 2015. With a recent surge of rapper-collaborated sneakers, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, took the quality up by offering his Purple Tape Diadora collaboration with Packer in materials that were fit for only rap-royalty. Released exclusively within the United States, the Purple Tape N.9000 were accompanied by a slew of different Diadora, New Era, and Packer clothes and accessories. Pairs came with 3 extra lace sets and a collaborative sticker between the 3. Unique to a Raekwon collab, the Purple Tapes included the track list for his album "Only Built 4 Cubna Linx" on the insoles. Notedly, the album was originally released as a purple cassette tape, thus the Purple Tape Diadora name. With a retail price of $200, the Purple Tapes were available at S.O.B.'s on August 20th then later available online on the 22nd. The first 95 lucky purchases at the in-store release we afforded tickets to the Purple Tape 20th Anniversary show later that evening. What is considered by many to be the most high-quality rapper-involved collaboration of all-time, the Packer Shoes x Raekwon x Diadora N9000 "Purple Tape" perfectly reflected Raekwon's style, as well as his music.
