Fat Joe to release recession friendly sneakers

[sig21]

Joey Crack may have started a trend of licking the soles of your unworn Air Force Ones thanks to his unforgettablecloset feature on MTV Cribs, but Joe now has his own shoe with the new low cost brand Protege.
Terror Squad gets a call out on the upper of the shoes dubbed The Recession. Protege, like Starbury, is one of the latest low cost shoe brands startedup by NBA players distributed exclusively to cost conscious outlets that include K-Mart. This initial sketch made it to the web today via SneakerFiles but is getting many to wonder if Fat Joe has hung up hisNike's for something that's his own. No word yet if these will sport the $35 price tag that most Protege shoes go for.

These are very very lame.

I like the mission statement of the Protege company, but to call a sneaker "The Recession" is pretty weak.
