Halo Epps, 2 Chainz's 10-Year-Old Son, Joins Zellerfeld as Youngest Signature Athlete

What what your biggest accomplishment at 10-years-old? If your answer is "releasing my first signature shoe with leaders of 3D-printed footwear Zellerfeld," you have something in common with Halo Epps, 2 Chainz's son.

Today, the company behind the industry-shifting Nike Air Max 95000 announced it's developed the Zellerfeld Halo 1, the first signature product for Epps, who plays with Atlanta's premier Honor Sports Academy youth basketball program. The project allows the aspiring NBA athlete blend sport and creativity while demonstrating how tomorrow's top talent no longer has to wait around to get selected by a top player in the sportswear realm in order to begin building their brand. Zellerfeld's commitment to independent creators has been at the core of its endeavors and working on debut footwear for the world's youngest signature athlete showcases this.

"I want to make it to the league, and I want to do it my way," said Epps in an official press release for the Halo 1. "Having my own signature shoe at ten shows me I can create my own path. With Zellerfeld, I can design, create, and share my ideas. This is my first shoe, and it’s just the beginning."

The Halo 1 is a straightforward, laceless, single-piece design 3D-printed by Zellerfeld. The slip-on silhouette is offered in five different color schemes—"Black," "Red," "Blue," "Orange," "Oat"—as part of its inaugural drop. As if a 10-year-old having his very own signature model wasn't abnormal enough, Zellerfeld is offering Epps a 60/40 profit split on sales of the Halo 1, a deal that's better than what some big signature athletes receive from traditional sportswear companies.

The Halo 1 releases on Tuesday, Dec. 9, exclusively through Zellerfeld.com. The laceless design is priced at $139.
