Oh word? VA$HTIE got Jordans, now? She breathes a breath of fresh air into the simple silhouette using lavender accented by a darker purple. The only touch they’re missing maybe is “Downtown” on the back of the left sneaker and “Sweetheart” on the right.

“We want to pay homage to the ladies who are rocking Jordan kicks on the daily, and we’ve teamed up with New York-based creative visionary Vashtie Kola to do just that. As an accomplished fashion designer, video director and artist, we knew Vashtie would have a fresh take on the classic Air Jordan 2. A constant trendsetter, Vashtie is one of the best at mixing contrasting styles and representing the fashion forward.

“This limited-edition shoe brings a lavender and deep-purple colorway to deliver a more feminine style. The details didn’t go overlooked either, with hints of silver integrated into the laces to complement the metallic midsole. Keep an eye out for its release on October 2nd, and stay tuned over the next few weeks for an inside look at the Holiday 2010 Girls Collection.” [JB]

That’s what’s up, even though I would’ve given her the Black/Cement III’s, her unofficial signature shoe, to play with instead of the II’s. VA$HTIE’s one of us so this is a strong cosign for JB in my book, enough to make me want to score a pair for my daughter.
