Jay-Z Gifted His Team With Custom Made Paper Planes Wallabees

Footwear designer Stan Birch has created several custom pairs of Clarks Wallabees for the “Hard Knock Life” lyricist and five of his closest associates. These guys have been connected to Jay for many years and are still connected to him. Birch made the footwear for Emory Jones, Tyran “Ty-Ty” Smith, Jay Brown, Lenny Santiago, and Juan Perez. He stated that each pair was made specifically for the individuals and showed the friends’ uniqueness while incorporating their tastes, inspirations, and preferences.“All these guys have been friends for so long that I needed to create a colorway that represented a real OG vibe,” Birch told the media outlet. “I concluded that all these guys had to have the exact same pair, but with details that were super personal to them. Each pair of Wallabees has a grey and black suede upper tongue with a Paper Planes logo on the heel of the right sh0e. Each sh0e is personalized with each person’s name, printed in 22-karat gold leaf, and Birch’s logo on the left heel of the sh0e. There are also hangtags specific to each individual. Six are adorned on each pair, according to the outlet. All of the hangtags are reminders of something specific for each member of the crew,” said Birch. Seven rectangular fobs show lyrics that JAY-Z has said about the individual it applies to on records. But that’s not all; each pair has black-and-white photos of the crew.
