International Sneaker Battle

As an extension of Funkmaster Flex's Custom Car and Bike Show Tour, Fat Joe is slated to host a shoe competition at three locations later this summer. In unison with typical hip hop battles, the International Sneaker Battle will include a panel of judges, contestant guidelines, and categories to be judged upon. The first event, which will be held on June 24th at the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center in Edison, NJ, will be graced by A-list persons, such as Bobbito, DJ Premier, Xzibit, Rev Run, the Dipset collective of Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Lox representatives Jadakiss and Styles P, Pitbull, Don Omar and Tego Calderon.

While the official judges have not yet been declared, the cash-prize categories include:
Best Overall Collection ($2,000),
Best Vintage Collection ($1,000),
Best Rare Collection ($1,000),
Best Display ($1,000),
Best Custom Pair ($1,000),
Best Nike Air Force Pair ($500),
Best Nike Dunk Pair ($500),
Best Jordan Pair ($500)
Best Other Pair ($500).

The other two dates will be held on July 22nd in Hartford, CT and then again on September 9th in Atlantic City, NJ.
