YG RELEASES NEW GREEN FLAME ‘BLOCK RUNNER’ SNEAKER UNDER 4HUNNID LABEL.
The latest green flame, “BLOCK RUNNER,” from a multi-platinum performer, businessman, and philanthropist YG’s The Flame footwear, is now available. It has a white upper and a red stripe running through the heel. The sole is available online at 4Hunnid.com and contains the 4HUNNID emblem on each installment with red and white flame detail.
The “BLOCK RUNNER” launched 4Hunnid’s The Flame line extension into footwear in March 2021 with an inverted colorway pattern. It was sold out online within the first seven minutes of going on sale. In a nod to YG’s hometown NBA teams, the brand most recently released sneakers inspired by the Lakers and Clippers. Being from LA, YG wanted to create a sneaker that reflected the West Coast aesthetic. The low-cut shoe has an upper made of 100 percent natural leather and a flame-shaped emblem attached to the side panels of a bespoke sole. The same Compton culture, everyday values, and way of life that inform YG’s music also significantly affect the 4Hunnid brand.
