- 👟 In the tenth episode of FRESH PAIR -- the hit custom sneaker interview show from Uproxx -- Ice Cube reacts to a 1-of-1 pair of custom kicks, created for him by hip-hop icon Just Blaze and sneaker customizer-to-the-stars, Katty Customs.
The sneakers celebrate Cube's album Amerikkka's Most Wanted, Friday, NWA, Westside Connection, and more -- all through the creativity of the shoe design.
The Amerikkka's Most theme, the Bye Felicia backtab, the Parental Advisory soles -- this Fresh Pair sets the bar higher than ever. In Cube's own words: "I think this is one of the most creative ways to interview and pay respects and salute artists. I think it's extremely unique."
