Fabolous & Jadakiss Co-Host Dinner for New Balance 247 Luxe Launch
For the truly enlightened sneakerhead, style is the ultimate consideration -- but arch support might be a close second. “I’ve always loved New Balance. It’s always been a comfortable shoe to me,” said Jadakiss, co-host (along with Fabolous) of a dinner celebrating the release of the 247 Luxe, a sleek leather and stretch synthetic model launching Saturday (Jan. 7). “New Balance is one of the most comfortable shoes you can wear. They’re good for your feet. We’re on our feet a lot of hours of the day.”
The dinner, an intimate, four-course sit-down, was part of an ambitious global rollout for the 247 for which the pair will perform during a private concert at Foot Locker in New York’s Herald Square. The party, held at a Midtown loft space and attended by friends, fellow sneaker gurus and label mates -- like recent Def Jam signee Dave East -- also served to tout their much awaited joint mixtape, Freddy vs. Jason. The project is inspired by the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street movies, and rubber masks and replicas of the films’ machetes and bladed gloves decorated the space, owing to the horror theme. Fabolous and Jadakiss discussed the upcoming release over a dinner of cauliflower soup, sea bass and chicken roulade.
