Hip Hop legend Afrika Bambaataa teams up with skate crew C1rca to release his first ever sneaker collaboration featuring two Zulu Nation inspired kicks and a series of tees to match. Standing out from the pack is the Bambaataa Convert- a high top killer featuring all the Nubian imprints that Bambaataa has made infamous - red, green and black uppers with 'Zulu Nation' stamped on the sole. The more subdued 99 Vulc Mid features suede, leather and patent uppers topped off with Egyptian gold trimmings and Zulu Nation pops. Make sure you peep the press release below for more information, or jump on over to the C1rca website for retailers.
PRESS RELEASE
C1RCA Select is proud to announce the collaboration with hip-hop legend, Afrika Bambaataa, on the Spring 2011 tee and sneaker collection entitled the Zulu Collection. Bronx native Afrika Bambaataa is one of the originators of break-beat deejaying, and one of the architects of Hip Hop Culture. In fact, he is credited for coining the phrase, "Hip Hop" to name the whole culture, pulling all of the five elements together. He also helped fuel the development of other musical genres such as freestyle or Latin freestyle, Miami bass, house, hip house, electronic and early techno. He was the first to use a synthesizer on a Hip Hop record, ultimately creating the electro funk sound.
