Young Jeezy with Grant and his friends

Grant Ewing of Ames, Iowa is the grand prize winner in the “Young Jeezy Puts on for You and Your Crew” contest.  Grant created the largest virtual house party on MTV.com, and won an awesome trip for him and 10 of his friends to NYC to see Young Jeezy perform.  Grant and his friends were treated like VIPs throughout the weekend with an all expense paid trip including a stay at one of midtown’s hippest hotels and exclusive entry to the hottest clubs.  Since Grant and his friends became VIPs, they had to look the part.  Adidas hooked them up with the newest and greatest shoes and apparel.

If you happen to live in Atlanta, check out hip-hop artist B.o.B at 7 pm, this Thursday, May 28 performing live at Foot Locker in the Gallery Mall at South Dekalb.

Part of the Reebok Classic Remix collection, the latest drop, and exclusive to Foot Locker, is the Classic Leather Lux — one of the marquee classic sneakers updated to continue its iconic look and feel.

B.o.B (Atlantic Records) re-interpreted classic hip-hop track “Bonita Applebum” by A Tribe Called Quest. The re-imagined track is titled “Put Me On (Reebok Classic ’09)” which is available for download when you purchase styles from the Reebok Classic Remix collection, at Foot Locker stores nationwide.

B.o.B hails from Atlanta, Georgia. At just 20 years old, the rapper – born Bobby Ray Simmons – has become a breath of fresh air in Atlanta’s snap and trap-obsessed scene. Known primarily for the frenetic energy of his song “Haterz Everywhere,” B.o.B scored a record deal with Atlantic Records while he was still in high school. Now, the young rap phenomenon is ready to bring his genre-bending style nationwide with his highly anticipated debut, The Adventures of B.o.B.
