Jay-Z will offer two new shoes this summer via his S. Carter Collection in tandem with Reebok. The first, the S. Carter II, arrives June 11. According to Reebok, it will feature curved, arched lines and polished leather accented with "pop" detailing. The shoe will be available in white/green/red and white/navy/red for men, and white/carbon/orange and white/tan/pink for women. It will retail for $100.

S. Carter Tennis will arrive on the fourth of July, in the grand tradition of classic tennis shoes. Men can choose from white/royal/red, navy/white and black/green/red color schemes, while women will be offered and white/winery/navy and s.grey/bluelight/white combinations. S. Carter Tennis shoes will retail for $80.

The first S. Carter Collection shoe became the fastest-selling footwear product in Reebok's history when it debuted in April 2003. The shoes came with a CD sampler featuring rare tracks and teasers from his yet-to-be-released "The Black Album."

Meanwhile, Roc-A-Fella has set a May 11 release date for an a cappella version of that set, which Jay-Z claimed would be his last artist album. Elements of "The Black Album" were recently combined by DJ Danger Mouse with the Beatles' "White Album" to create the unauthorized "The Grey Album," which quickly flooded the Internet.
