Andre 3000 Is Designing Atlanta-Inspired Tretorns

What else would you expect from Three Stacks? The man that gave us “Hey Ya” and a generation’s worth of Southern-fried anthems is at it again. Andre Benjamin, one half of the Atlanta rap brand, OutKast, is designing Tretorns.

The shoe game has always been a fly-by-night endeavor for celebrities. But something about this one just feels so right. The “I André Benjamin will not draw in class” capsule collection is here, people.

The line features 10 unique designs, including a subdued update to the classic Tretorn sneaker many of us grew up with. Those fans aching for new music will have to bump the old jams instead. Content to know that one of the world’s dopest creators has — momentarily — put down the mic and picked up the pencil to sketch beautiful creations that go on feet.

The  brand says that most of the inspirations come from a fresh mixture of Tretorn’s prep pedigree and Andre’s classroom daydream sketches.
