To commemorate Eminem's new book "The Way I Am," the rap star has teamed up with Nike's Jordan Brand for a collaboration on a limited edition jordan shoe.  The shoes will be called "The Way I Am" Air Jordan 2, and feature handwritten lyrics from Eminem's songs on the shoe's ankle collar and toe trim.  The package will also include a limited edition "The Way I Am" T-shirt.

There will be only 313 pairs, the area code for Eminem's hometown, Detroit, MI, and only be available for purchase at the official Jordan Brand “Flight Club”: www.airjordanflightclub.com.  To receive an invitation code text "Flight Club" to 23623.  The retail price of "The Way I Am: Air Jordan 2" has yet to be determined.

Proceeds from the shoe will go towards Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers Foundation, an organization primarily dedicated to helping disadvantaged youth in the state of Michigan.

This is the second time Eminem and Jordan Brand have collaborated.  The first Eminem Jordan was the Air Jordan 4 “Blueberry” but that was only available as a promotional item and for contest winners of his Encore album. Eminem's representative Paul Rosenberg said, "The Jordan 2 is Marshall's favorite Air Jordan sneaker, so he was super excited to get to be able to do another collaboration with his favorite sneaker brand."

Eminem's "The Way I Am" book is available from Penguin/Dutton at Amazon.com and local bookstores.
