Raekwon, Packer and Diadora have teamed up again for a special N.9000 that celebrates the 25th anniversary of
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx and the 30th anniversary of the N.9000’s retail debut. An apt follow-up to 2015’s N.9000 “Purple Tape,” this new colorway pulls its inspiration from
OB4CL‘s memorable cover.
Keen-eyed Diadora fans may notice that the “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” looks somewhat familiar. This is because when the “Purple Tape” released in 2015, the “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” was a 1-of-1 unreleased sample given to Raekwon himself, and worn by the artist during the SOB’s performance that followed the “Purple Tape” drop.
