Inspired by American tattooing, his homestate of Ohio, his interests, and upbringing, rapper Stalley got this sick Nike Sportswear Destroyer varsity jacket made just for him. Unlike the customizable Destroyers available at NYC's Bowery Stadium, Stalley's features a navy blue wool body with black leather sleeves and navy blue cuffs and collar with orange detailing.

It's one of the rare occasions when Nike customizes gear for a non-athlete, and we definitely appreciate the attention paid to this piece. The lyrics from Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" are embroidered into the back of the coat, symbolizing Stalley's love of Chevys and the fact that his high school basketball team, the Massillon Tigers, hit the court to that song. A longtime fan of The Smiths, a lyric from "This Charming Man" is embroidered above the right welt pocket. The back of the jacket reflects Stalley's hometown of Massillon, Ohio and his own Blue Collar Gang.
