Rapper Rick Ross recently uploaded a picture to his instagram account. Rozay was rocking a pair of Air Jordan 10 “Chicago” sneakers. Classic hints of red make their way to a Jumpman on the heel, red-striped outsole and culminating amidst the checkered interior lining. A debossed tongue hit and a tonal nylon heel tab round out the iconic shoe. These sneakers pay tribute to MJ, when he played with the Chicago Bulls. God Forgives, I Don’t coming soon.
