Aesop Rock / Upper Playground / adidas



Aesop Rock has designed a limited-edition (only 500) of the Stan Smith ("What?? American Dad has his own kicks??") shoe, based on the artwork from his last album, None Shall Pass. I dig 'em.

Says Aesop Rock:
“The faded green and gold colors have a strange eerie-meets-regal vibe that I liked when designing the art for last year's album,” explained the Long Island native. “I wanted to continue that color scheme, and keep it pretty simple. I didn’t want anything too intrusive. Basically I just wanted something that I’d rock, and my mother might even wear them.” (Allhiphop.com)

These shoes are third in a series that also included designs from Herbert Baglione and David Choe.
