After months of speculation and leaked images, ASAP Rocky officially unveiled his Under Armour sneaker during his Lab Rat performance art piece in New York City.
The all-black low top has a chunky aesthetic to adhere to the current footwear trend, but rather than being based on a technical runner, it features a build more similar to the bulky skate shoes of the late '90s and early 2000s—the model is strikingly similar to the infamous Osiris D3 model in particular. While detailed images are still unavailable, the pair appears to sport a mesh upper with leather overlays and special Rocky branding on the puffy tongue.
Donning a red jumpsuit, Rocky's performance piece played off of the title of his upcoming album Testing, and centered around him being a test subject for a group of scientists. The sneaker was revealed when the rapper was given a "reward" by the scientists. Then, he proceeded to pull the shoe out of a yellow bag and show the audience what he described as some "jiggy shit." The reveal occurs at the 1:16:31 mark of the video above.
Release information for ASAP Rocky's debut project with Under Armour is still unavailable, but this official reveal could indicate it is soon approaching.
