I was hoping the next news involving Ja Rule would be that he and J.Lo were releasing a late Summer anthem, but alas, that isn’t true! What is up next for the rapper is a collaboration with famed accessories designer Steve Madden.

News of the collection started circulating back in February when the line was debuted in Las Vegas. Now, the assortment is up for grabs in select stores and on the brand’s website.

The offerings include four sneaker silhouettes in an array of textures and colors. Some clearly give a nod to Nike, Balenciaga, and others, but I must admit: the designs are actually pretty good looking!

Of working with the Grammy-nominated artist, Steve Madden said: “He came to the table with all of these ideas. He’s an awesome guy. We click. It’s been fun to collaborate with artists. I enjoy it. I enjoy the creative spark.”

Ranging from $145 – $195, the collection is teetering in the middle of the affordability scale—though definitely aligned with Madden’s price points.
