Rapper, artist, designer, André 3000 is basically iconic across multiple departments these days. And now he’s adding sneakers to his collection. 3000 has signed on with Swedish sports and outdoors-wear brand Tretorn to designer a range of sneakers. The collection, named “I André Benjamin will not draw in class” as a nod to his days sketching his ideas for sneakers in school, will come in ten models for both men and women. 3000 says: “My first pair of Tretorns were in middle school and since then the Nylite has always had a place in my closet. For this collaboration, I was able to go into Tretorn’s archive and have a play. The capsule collection translates my ‘daydream sketches’ to the real world”.
The sneakers are available from www.tretorn.com, and will be at APLACE stores from the end of March.
