Last month, rumors began to circulate regarding a third collaboration from Kendrick Lamar and Nike. Today, the possible release becomes a reality with new imagery of the duo’s forthcoming model emerging.

The next chapter from Kung-Fu Kenny and the Swoosh will ditch a traditional lacing system for a slip-on entry. Sticking with the Westside-favorite Nike Cortez, its white base is complemented by thunder blue, wolf grey and orange throughout. Lastly, the collaboration pays homage to Los Angeles rap culture with the phrase “House Shoes” added to the tongue.

At the moment, the Kendrick Lamar x Nike Cortez Basic Slip is expected to arrive sometime this month via select Nike retailers, Nike.com and Nike SNKRS for $100 USD. Take a look at the shots provided above and let us know how this drop compares to the previous two.

In case you missed it, watch Kendrick and others share some of their favorite Mac Miller memories.
