The Compton-based hip-hop artist, who was previously affiliated with Reebok, has been wearing the Nike Cortez during his sold-out DAMN Tour shows, but an official statement by the artist nor the brand has been made until now. With Nike giving the classic Cortez running classic a heavy marketing push, the timing of this partnership could not have come at a better time.
