“NIKEBATTLE FORCE, a battle-style event celebrating the Air Force 1, recognized worldwide as one of the most famous sneakers of all time, will be held on Friday, November 23.
The event will feature three types of battles: 3-on-3 basketball, dance, and rap. Each of these will be preliminary contests held on the web, and the winning finalists will be invited to participate in the main competition. The champion will receive tickets to tour the United States to watch the NBA.
The rap battle, which has established a new status in the hip-hop scene, uses a "lyric battle" format that differs from the usual one. Rappers come up with lyrics using predetermined words and perform, and the winner is the rapper who has created the most creative one.
Note that these judges will be hip-hop artists HUNGER (GAGLE) and COMA-CHI.
If you think you have what it takes, please take a look at the entry procedures below and apply by Sunday, November 11!
