A pair of white Nike sneakers with glitter red, blue, and yellow sections worn by Big Boi of Outkast. The low-top sneakers have white leather on the perforated top toes, the front half of the side vamps, the upper portion of the heel cap, and on the facing of the tongues. The lower part of the toe cap has blue glitter panels. The area of the shoe surrounding the tongue has red glitter panels that extend down over the side and back heel. A yellow glitter panel is sewn at the center back heels and to form the Nike swoosh logo on the outer and inner sides of the shoes. The shoes lace with white nylon laces with clear plastic aglets. At the bottom of the laces nearest the toe cap on each shoe is a silver-toned metal tag looped through the lace with engraved text reading "AF-1 / '82".
