The Nike Air Yeezy is unquestionably the hottest rapper-inspired sneaker on the horizon. Its success in generating hype has been so great that Nike capitalized on it with another super-high model: the Nike RT1. In keeping with the hip-hop tradition of sampling, mid-Atlantic sneaker supplier DTLR got a hold of Harlem MC Jim Jones to add some star power to their Summer 2009 photo shoot. He’s pictured above and after the jump in the black, white and red pair, and we’ll have more detailed pics of the RT1 tomorrow, right here on Sneaker News. Thanks DTLR
Look for these now at select Nike retailers as well as on nikestore.com.

C’mon yaw, be forreal! Nike & Jim Jones are sum thirst buckets for this one here. Not a good mix. I mean how thirsty can a nigga be? Why are non-athletes getting signature shoes? Give it a well deserved athlete who doesn’t have a shoe! Not BUMS, just to make a buck. WHAT’S WRONG WITH NIKE huh?!!!
