Air Jordan 3's - Drake vs Lil Wayne

I dont think these joints will ever see the light of day... they seem to be a custom pair of Jordan retros fitted just for Drake for the Drake vs Lil Wayne tour. I'll always love a simple double black colorway and I like how the Jordan logos take on a personality of their own. The insoles.. (if thats the correct name) have all the personality with the Drake vs Lil Wayne tour logo and the OVO logo represented respectively.
