Taylor Gang Founder Prepares To Score with Khalifa Collection by Converse

2013 has been an outstanding year for rapper Wiz Khalifa. He appears to be a jack of all trades mastering each with perfection. In addition to the birth of his son, and marriage to his soul mate Amber Rose, Wiz will be launching his collaboration with the Chuck Taylor sneaker maker. Wiz is an obvious Chuck Taylor aficionado, so this endorsement deal is one that is sure to be successful. His label, Taylor Gang Records is said to be named after his high school and his love of Chuck Taylors. Wiz, who is well known for making extreme fashion statements, donned a black and white fur coat and red & white leather pants on his o.n.i.f.c album cover. Surprisingly, he pulls off the look in a rapper/rock star kind of way that only he can. In the midst of his tattooed covered body, somehow it’s easy to focus on what he is wearing. There is an art to being captivating in that way. Wiz has that special something that makes people pay attention. Behind these daring moves, he also has Taylor Gang Clothing and Freshko, an apparel and lifestyle company. So far, the line is just casual T-Shirts and hoodies. Another deal with Flat Fitty of custom hats by Wiz will launch during MAGIC Market Week in Las Vegas in August. The Wiz Khalifa Collection by Converse will be available at Foot Locker on August 23. I smell a baby Wiz Khalifa Collection by Converse to follow for
