[edit] G-Unit Sneakers
G-Unit Sneakers are urban appeal shoes designed and marketed by the Reebok Shoe Company. It was a shoe granted to rapper 50 Cent after his group G-Unit released their debut album Beg For Mercy. The shoes are one of the most popular hip-hop brands and designed for fashion, sports and cal appeal. The shoes came under controversy, when commentator Bill O'Reilly rallied a boycott against the shoe maker for endorsing their product with the rapper. 50 Cent still endorses the shoe and Reebok continues to distribute the product, although they are derided by some for their allegedly derivative styles, with some G-Unit shoes resembling the Air Force 1 and Air Jordan series.
