Bun B Gives A Perfect 10 To His Fresh Pair Of Sneakers Honoring UGK, Jay Z, Pimp C, And More

In the ninth installment of FRESH PAIR -- the beloved sneaker interview show from Uproxx -- Bun B reacts to a 1-of-1 pair of custom sneakers, created for him by hip-hop icon Just Blaze and sneaker customizer-to-the-stars, Katty Customs. The sneakers celebrate Bun B's life, his art, and his journey -- all through the creativity of the shoe design.

The UGK backtab, the Pimp C fur coat tribute, the colorway, the patches celebrating his career -- this may be our cleanest Fresh Pair yet. In Bun's own words: "We got a 10 out of 10."
