Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas Created $298 Sneakers

Jump Footwear signed Black Eyed Peas member Taboo to design a limited-edition pair of sneakers for the label. The $298 shoes come in four high-top models, featuring combinations of red, gold, black, and white with scattered zippers slapped on them. Taboo gets royalty money from the sales of the kicks, which launch officially tonight at Saks Fifth Avenue and Jump’s Soho boutique. And a representative tells us that next season they’ll hit Bloomingdale’s and more upscale retailers. Because when you hear the booty-dropping sounds of “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas, you think luxury, right? We knew it. [WWD]
