Reebok has signed Jay-Z to a multi-year deal, giving the rapper his own "signature" line of sneakers. Jay-Z’s "S.Carter Collection by RBK" is scheduled to hit stores nationwide in June. "The collection is an authentic reflection of my personal style," Jay-Z told AllHipHop.com in a statement. The shoe will sell for around $150. Reebok says it will also market a $95 version to attract kids. A special CD single from Jigga written specifically about the sneakers will be included with every pair sold for a limited time. Jay will start appearing in the Reebok advertisements in February. The campaign will start running during the NBA’s All-Star weekend, which takes place February 7-9.
