The music industry's elite packed the Prriya and Chintans Couture boutique last night to witness the exclusive unveiling of a pair of diamond encrusted Nike So Cal 1's valued at $50,000.
The pricey sneakers were presented to Outkast's Antwan "Big Boi" Patton by Laced Up owner Ernel Dawkins and P&C Couture boutique owner Rita Patel. The exclusive sneaker is dipped in 11 carats of chocolate champagne diamonds from India (click the image of the sneakers to see the detail).
"When it came time to consider which celebrity to honor with this shoe, we thought it would be perfect to go with Atlanta's top sneaker head, Antwan "Big Boi" Patton. To us he represents style and affluent flavor", states Ernel Dawkins (Laced Up owner).
Highlights of the event included the unveiling of the exclusive diamond encrusted sneakers, the presentation of the exclusive sneakers to Big Boi and the release of P&C couture's new ATL line of diamond jewelry.

that's a waste..where the hell would he wear it..not one damn place comes to mind...I cannot stand frivilous mess..50k could go much further for something relevant..
So Cals? seems like everywhere you go Air Force 1's have another name..i will stay in my NY state of mind & call those downtowns..i tried to enlarge the picture, but it didnt come up, guess i will be back later
chile boom! dat coulda took dat same 50 grand and fed some families in new orleans!
Is it just me or do they look cheap and raggedy as hell. I would think a $50,000 shoe would be flawless.
they was talkin bout that on the radio yesterday. i can see on sandals but diamonds on tennis shoes?
like big boi would wear those. i saw him at LAX a few months back and he had on some tennis shoes that looked like some "cross color" throwbacks.
style icon? BOOOOO!
The shoe looks like he should pass it on to his wife (those colors and all).
When will black people stop?

I'd say so. I love that David Yurman bracelet he's rocking!
Switching to Converse... until they do the same ill shyt.
Children here and all over the world are starving and this is the type of fuckery they spend money on. SMH
No matter what Sandra, Bey would look more pulled together than you if she was mainlining Gin and bald.
Remember that.
This is one of the reason that I don't waste my money on these so called STARS!
Man we are getting more ghetto by the second. Now you know the only people that can afford or would even think about buying those sneakers are young black athletes and rappers. The designer had their cooning behinds in mind when he made them. This is sickening.
Lets see who will be first to get robbed and/or killed for these sneakers by some envious ghetto child.

Lord help us all!!!! You could see on sandals? What hood are you from. Have your children started selling crack yet. Sorry but your ass needs to be called out for that ignorance.
What a waste!!!
When I reported this a month ago...I thought these shoes were going to be bad ass...50K...they had to be the best looking shoes in America.
These shoes look like my little sister sketched them and shitted out the stones...please do better people!!

Clearly this is the difference between Black folks and niggas! SMH
There are too many homeless people in Atlanta and college students needing scholarships for them to waste money like this. I am not impressed with their attention-seeking bling toys.
Grady is about to be shut down and people in ATL are spending money on this foolishness. SMH!
Nike had no affilitation with this shoe, Laced Up doesnt even have a real Nike account, no offense to big boi, who wouldnt except this, but come on, sneaker culture has been ruined by shit like this, the whole scene has become saturated and commercialized.
