J. Cole's Made in Italy Indie 5000 Sneaker "Will Be on Sale Soon"

Regardless of your stance on his most reject project, J. Cole is the man of the moment. Days removed from the launch of his long-anticipated seventh studio album, The Fall-Off, the North Carolina representative has shared insight about another one of his projects that've had fans longing for years: the Indie 5000 sneaker.

Following a brief stint as a PUMA signature collaborator, J. Cole stepped out into the limelight in a chunky footwear style that abandoned any Big Cat logo; the pair did, however, feature the Dreamer logo associated with the artist's imprint. Nothing came about from the teasers despite widespread fan interest. A recent Ask Me Anything (AMA) event provided some important information about the item that's been stuck in limbo.

"[A]ppreciate the love," he wrote, as shared by X user @JColeVille. "[The] indie 5000 ready to go! we made them independently, been working on them for 4 years. Designed them with some italian designers i work with. They are finished, manufactured and ready to go."

"We have a small mistake on the boxes, so right now it's either get all the boxes reproduced, or embrace the mistake and put them out. Either way. They will be on sale soon. Appreciate it."

Given his recent push towards independence, it's no surprise the inaugural Indie 5000 is being produced without the help of a big sportswear company. Whenever the product launches, the old school basketball-inspired pair is likely to hit dreamerinc.com.
