Ja Rule Snags Steve Madden Sneaker Line [Photos]

The edgy, but also classy line of sneakers will feature high and low top sneakers, which will be available in a sleek leather and suede material. All designs will include metallic details, handcuff eyelets and skeletons. The detailed designs were created both by Madden and Ja Rule to show the obstacles that they have overcome throughout the years. Here are a few comments from both the pair when speaking with Footwear News on their collaboration.

Working with Ja Rule:

Madden: He came to the table with all of these ideas. He’s an awesome guy. We click. It’s been fun to collaborate with artists. I enjoy it. I enjoy the creative spark.

What style is his favorite:

Ja Rule: I love all the styles, but my favorites, I would have to say, are the high-top suede and the high-top dress shoe. The maven motorcycle-style boot is different from anything out there. The key on the front of the shoe represents freedom: freedom to be creative.
