With the highly anticipated all-women Ghostbusters movie coming out soon, sportswear company FILA has partnered with rapper, songwriter and producer Nas to create Ghostbusters-themed shoes.
The shoes come in three different styles, each with the Ghostbusters' logo adorned on the foot of the shoe. The T-1 Mid shoe is completely black except for a glow-in-the-dark platform, giving the shoes an eerie "ghost-like" effect. The high-top shoes are black and tan colors with a black sole that has sparkles on it, while the low-top shoe is more sleek and looks like it is made from the same material as the Ghostbusters' outfits.
With the unnecessary controversy surrounding the fact that the new Ghostbusters movie features an all-women cast, this shoe line helps to promote the upcoming film in a positive way.
