Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Watch The Party Die’ Black Air Forces Could Possibly Sell For $75,000

One lucky person will soon be the owner of the black Air Forces Kendrick Lamar used as the cover art of his latest record.

On Sept. 11, Kendrick Lamar released a new song on his Instagram. There is no caption (or song title listed) for the viral post that has received over 3 million likes to date. However, the public has named the tune “Watch The Party Die,” due to its lyrics. For the cover art, Kendrick Lamar used an image of a slightly worn pair of black Nike Air Force 1’s.

It didn’t take long for internet detectives to discover that the image originated from an eBay listing based in North Little Rock, from an account called “Good2BYou.”

The couple behind the listing — Billy Lingo and Darla Wilson — said they had no clue how K-Dot came across their post. They initially sold the shoes for $70 before Kendrick’s song went live. However, they had not shipped them out yet when their phone started to blow up about the Grammy Award winner’s post.

Once they realized the goldmine they were sitting on, they canceled the initial $70 order. They’re now trying to sell the shoes in an auction, starting at $5,000 and with a buy-now price of $75,000.
