Thats right DPG fans. Jordan got his own shoe, Kobe has his own shoe and now we have Thizzle, Snoop Dogg's new shoe line. Check the article for more info:
Snoop Dogg To 'Thizzle' In November With New Shoe
July 19, 10 p.m. ET, Launch
In conjunction with DaDa Footwear, Snoop Dogg will release "Thizzle," his own line of shoes, in November. This month, the shoe manufacturer is also scheduled to debut "SoleSonicForce," a basketball shoe named after the influential '80s hip-hop outfit Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force, which is responsible for the 1982 hit "Planet Rock." The "SoleSonicForce" shoe features a mini hydraulic system, similar to those used to make cars bounce.
In related news, Snoop Dogg Presents Tha Eastsidaz's single "I Luv It," from their sophomore album Duces & Trayz: The Old Fashioned Way, reached Number 85 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart last week. The album will be released July 31.

He may "stay on point like Stacey Adams," but Snoop Dogg will be doing his Crip-walking in his own line of sneakers for Dada Footwear from now on.
According to Dada's vice president of marketing, Carlos Parrott, Snoop's basketball shoes are scheduled to hit the market in October and will be called Thizzlez. "Thizzle" is slang for "thing" (as in "Somebody does their thing, and Snoop does his thizzle").
"We wanted to expand [our footwear line] and take it to athletic performance," Parrott said. "By utilizing an artist of Snoop's caliber we can get the word out faster. Plus, he's a year 'round playa and he plays basketball. He's got love for the game."
Snoop, who has a regulation-size b-ball court in his back yard, already has a clothing line called Snoop Dogg Clothing, or SDC.
Parrott said Snoop helped design the Thizzlez, which will be gray, white and blue. Future pairs will be featured in different colors, but all will be a high-top design.
Dada also sells a shoe called SoleSonicForce, named after hip-hop forefathers Afrika Bambaataa & the Soul Sonic Force. No doubt Snoop loves those sneakers as well — they've got hydraulics, just like his '64 lowriders.

It would be funny to be hittin' switches while turnin the corner of the sidewalk with hydraulics. That would be crazy.
-
That would be funny if your walking down the road, and the light is about to turn red, and then something goes wrong with the switches and you get stuck doing a crip walk in the middle of traffic...
