The rapper first began working with the organization in November when he was tapped as a creative collaborator for their “Run The Streets” campaign. For his new sneak, which will debut Aug. 24, Tesfaye wants everyone, including the former president, to wear and love the shoe.
“I just want to see everyone wearing it. I want it to be part of pop culture. I want to walk down the street and see kids wearing it and women wearing it,” he told Footwear News. “I want to see the pope wearing it. I want to see [Barack] Obama wearing it. I want to see Elon Musk wearing it.”
