PICS: ADIDAS CREATES SPECIAL EDITION SHOE, THE JAM MASTER JAY' SNEAKERS TO COMMEMORATE 5th ANNIV. OF HIS DEATH.

Earlier this week, I posted an article on the status of the investigation regarding the senseless murder of Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay. And although no new information has surfaced, his memory and legacy continues to lives on. So much so that Adidas will release a special edition sneaker to mark the fifth anniversary of the death of the turntable extraordinaire. According to Complex magazine, the shoe company crafted four pairs of footwear as part of the Nov. 29 J.A.M. Awards, a special benefit concert that focuses on rap's social responsibility. Run DMC paid homage to the shoe maker in their 1986 anthem My Adidas, which was released from the album, Raising Hell. The Jam Master Jay sneakers will be available in an original Ultrastar and three Brougham models, each featuring the Run DMC member's face on the shoe's tongue. The product will sell exclusively through Footaction later this month for $70-$80.

Jay, born Jason Mizell, was shot and killed in a Merrick Blvd. recording studio in Queens, New York on Oct. 30, 2002. He is survived by his wife Terri and three children.
