- In the ninth installment of FRESH PAIR -- the beloved sneaker interview show from Uproxx -- Bun B reacts to a 1-of-1 pair of custom sneakers, created for him by hip-hop icon Just Blaze and sneaker customizer-to-the-stars, Katty Customs. The sneakers celebrate Bun B's life, his art, and his journey -- all through the creativity of the shoe design.
The UGK backtab, the Pimp C fur coat tribute, the colorway, the patches celebrating his career -- this may be our cleanest Fresh Pair yet. In Bun's own words: "We got a 10 out of 10."

#FreshPair let's go!!! What's your favorite sneaker feature?!
The mink (not fox 😂) tongue!❤
The mink tongue is dope. Definitely the chunky UGK logo.
@@gazzabethyname love that -- and Bun def loved that.
The Port Arthur insole was a very special "hidden" thing :)
I understand you can't microwave Greatness bt Jus! Turn up the 🔥 we need more more often
Man fuck I wish pimp was still here the man was ahead of his time and to hear it from his mouth. Just like I still have songs of his I've been looking for

Styles P custom fits was dope....the detail was phenomenal!!!! I never in life saw concrete covered sneakers 😳 they basically incorporate every project a artist worked on & put it on the sneaker smh Too dope.....That lady is talented as heck 🙌
Bun has always been a true sole and it is nice to see this man getting flowers. Thanks for your sole, Mr Bun B.
So nice of you
💐
Why doesn't Bun have a Southern accent?
Katty went crazy with these sneakers 🔥
She did her thing
Thank youuuu ♥️🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥
I don't like them. Now does saying that make me a hater? Does it hurt someone's feelings? Or is it my opinion
"TV ain't got no temperature" lol
still laughing
Best line ever 😂
That sneaker was more of a Pimp C sneaker than Bun B, but he loves his partner so much he appreciates it.😊
It was definitely themed around the duo -- but Bun is integral to all those moments and movements.
❤
And i'm glad it was.
Boiii this got me lowkey emotional when i seen the diamonds up against that wood!!! RIP PIMP SHOUTOUT TO BUN!!! Y’all did that!!!!
