Fat Joe gifted a pair of his Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low’s to former President Bill Clinton.
The moment was captured in a video posted to the “All The Way Up” rapper’s Instagram on Sept. 19 accompanied by a caption that read, “MAIL MAN AT IT AGAIN TSAF1 Billllll.” The video was followed up by an image of Bill wearing the sneakers in black and white.
Joe gifted Bill his Nike kicks during the 2023 Clinton Global Initiative, a multi-day conference held in New York.
The conference convened like-minded figureheads in the heart of the city in order to implement solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Attendees included Hillary Clinton, Orlando Bloom, Dwayne Wade and Alok Vaid-Menon, Michael J. Fox among others.
The Terror Squad x Nike Air Force 1 Low was originally created in the early 2000s for Fat Joe and his music group Terror Squad. The original release of the Nike kicks was made as friends-and-family exclusives, therefore it was never made available to the public. The sneaker was re-released by Nike in 2023 and was only made available to those in attendance at the 2023 NY vs. NY Championship event at Rucker Park on Aug. 12. The sneakers are only available now through resale sights like StockX and Grailed.

The latest iteration of the sneaker includes a contrasting black and white colorway with durable leather uppers, “JC,” an abbreviation for “Joey Crack,” embroidered on the heel tab and the ever-iconic “TS” logo in white on the heel counter.
Beyond Bill, Joe gifted his coveted sneakers to New York Liberty basketball star Sabrina Ionescu courtside following a game she and her team won. This interaction was also documented in a video posted on the performer’s Instagram.
