Sneakers are hip-hop's most persistent fashion statement. From the days of "My Adidas" to now, when you're stepping out to a show or party, your foot game has got to be on point. Australian Peter Fahey helped bind the music, art and kicks cultures together when he founded the annual Sneaker Pimps Tour in 2003. Co-headlining with 1,500 fancy pairs of sneakers at the Starlight Ballroom on Saturday are the fine and fashionable duo The Clipse. They have a solid fan base, but have yet to recapture the success of their 2002 debut, Lord Willin', which featured hits like "Grindin" and "Cot Damn." They've been working on a new album for what seems like forever, but kept ears wet with a series of mixtapes showcasing their Southern Virginia lyrical ability. Joining them will be Carolina rapper/producer J. Cole and Philly's own Hustle Simmons. Come funky fresh and dress to impress.
