GZA, also known as, “The Genius,” was one of the founding members of the infamous, seminal hip hop group the Wu-Tang Clan. This group first began with just three members, RZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and of course, himself, but a few years later grew to a clan of nine. GZA was pushing into the limelight of the music industry with the success of the Wu-Tang Clan first album, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers and this fueled his newfound fan base to flock to record stores everywhere for his solo album, Liquid Swords.

Logic, a very talented sneaker artist, happens to be a big fan of GZA’s Liquid Swords album and recently created this custom Nike Dunk High in its honor. The Dunk High has an overall design based solely on the artwork displayed on the album’s original cover that DC Comics chief artist, Denys Cowan, designed.

One shoe shows a man attacking another personal with a chained sword while the other shoe is decked out with a checkerboard pattern and the Wu-Tang Clan logo “G” along the heel. In addition, there’s ostrich-like material on the Nike swoosh and heel as well as Wu-Tang Clan logos on the tongue tags.

Currently, this “Liquid Sword” Nike Dunk High is available for purchase in a size 10.5 U.S. If anyone is interested in buying the custom sneaker then please contact Logic on his MySpace page listed below.
