As the name infers, the colorway refers to the original album cassette, which was done in purple to distinguish itself from other rap releases. From the co-branded tongue that nods to the “Parental Advisory” tag to the track listing on the footbed, to the “Side 1″ and “Side 2″ embroidery on the back heel – the “Purple Tape” might be one of the most detailed album-inspired sneakers released to date. Crafted in Italy, pick up this special sneaker release beginning August 20 at a special event in New York City, and stay tuned to Packer Shoes for more details on a wider release.
