Raekwon And Diadora Reveal Community Linx Sneakers Initiative

Diadora and Foot Locker have teamed up with Raekwon for the “Community Linx” initiative, a series of product capsules built with and linking to local communities. With each drop, the trio will provide burgeoning local music talent with the tools, resources and knowledge needed to elevate their profile. I concepted Community Linx because I wanted to bring music and sneaker culture together in a meaningful way,” Raekwon said in a statement. “I’m thankful that Diadora and Foot Locker, Inc. believed in my vision. Together, we aim to inspire the next generation of music talent by providing them with tools and resources to hone their craft. I can’t wait to hear their work. Every sneaker capsule represents the hustle of each city and hopefully serves as a reminder to keep chasing your dreams. The program starts with the universal Diadora N9002 and an NYC-inspired Diadora N9002, available in men’s sizes exclusively at Foot Locker and Champs Sports beginning January 27. In support of the N9002 NYC release, Raekwon, Diadora and Foot Locker, Inc. selected 16 rising musicians from New York City for an invite-only, four-week beat-making course hosted by producer/DJ, Scram Jones. As noted in the release, “Each participant will receive invaluable insight into the beat-making process, from using different tools to mixing and mastering a track.”
