Eminem Designs AirMaxes For Charity(With shoe release dates!

[Conspiracy]

Rapper Eminem has teamed with Nike to create a limited edition line of Air Max sneakers to benefit charity.

Slim Shady will add his personal touch to the upper designs of eight different shoes in the Air Max series, from the Air Max '87 to the most recent Air Max 360.


"If you told me ten years ago that I'd be designing this whole series of Air Max's, I never would have believed it," said Eminem in a release. "It's one of the hottest lines that Nike ever produced, so I'm honored 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 color combos."

Only 8 full sets of the footwear (64 shoes in total) will be produced before they are auctioned off over a period of 4 weeks. Proceeds from the auction will go to Eminem's charity for troubled Michigan youth, The Marshall Mathers Foundation, and ninemillion.org, a global campaign led by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and founded by Nike and Microsoft that aims to raise awareness and funds to bring education and sport programs to the world's refugee youth.
