Kendrick Lamar, known for his creative and innovative approach to music, has once again intrigued fans with the artwork for his new song.
The rapper posted an image on Instagram featuring a pair of worn-out black Nike Air Force 1s. What’s particularly interesting is that this image appears to be directly linked to an eBay listing that had just sold for $70.

The shoes, labeled "Vintage Nike Air Force 1 ‘82 Low ‘Black Black’ 315122-001 Men’s Size 12," were sold by an eBay user under the account “rap and drip” on September 11.
The listing, which shows the sneakers in a well-worn condition, was snapped up quickly after the post. It’s unclear whether Lamar himself purchased the shoes or simply used the listing image as part of his creative process.
However, this unique connection between music and consumer culture has sparked conversation online, with fans speculating about Kendrick’s involvement.
Rap and Drip's social media post highlighted this curious link, posing the question, "Do y’all think Kendrick bought these?" The item sold out quickly, adding to the intrigue and further fueling the discussion about Lamar's possible involvement.
Known for integrating deep symbolism and everyday references in his work, Kendrick Lamar’s use of an eBay listing photo in his song’s visual promotion further showcases his ability to blur the lines between art, commerce, and culture.
