In October, Lil Yachty accidentally spilled the beans regarding his first shoe collaboration. About nine minutes into an interview with CoolKicks, the rapper picked up a fresh white pair of Nike Air Force 1 Lows and said, "I just did a Force."

When asked if he had a deal with the Swoosh, Yachty laughed, "I didn't say that, I didn't say that!" At the time, our cover star didn't mention the sportswear giant's name but confirmed that whatever he created would be his first shoe collaboration. "I've been trying to get a shoe for seven years now," the musician said during the visit the LA sneaker store.

It turns out: Yachty does have his own Nike Air Force 1...and it's finally here.

Like his music, Yachty's style is also quite influential, an immaculate hat game included. Over the years, the musician's style has evolved to include impressive vintage gems and unique pairings that only he could pull off.

Plus, he's got an excellent sneaker collection complete with classics and under-appreciated heat. It certainly made me wonder how a shoe by him would turn out.

Yachty's Concrete Boys x Nike Air Force 1 emerged as a simple navy blue and white, finished with "It's Us" phrases, Swoosh, and Crete Boys. It's a little bit of Yachty and a lot of traditional Nike, speaking to his love for a solid — or "concrete," in this case — classic sneaker.

Yachty joined Reebok in 2017, fronting a couple of campaigns here and there. The brand even offered the the music artist a shoe deal, which he turned down due to the chosen silhouette being a little out there for even his unconventional tastes.

Prior to the unveiling of the Air Force 1 sneaker, Yachty and Nike had been linked to each other quite a lot.

While Yachty munched on Fruity Pebbles (without milk) courtside at Nike's Worlld Basketball Fest, the musician also flexed a couple of noteworthy Nike pick-ups this year, including archival Nike ACG Air Pumori Snowboard Boots, Supreme's unreleased Zoom Courtposite collab, and Cactus Plant Flea Market's soon-come Air Flea 2 shoes. Yachty basically debuted CPFM's second colorway.

Yachty has also enjoyed plenty of NOCTA Nike gear (he even starred in the Hot Step Air Terra campaign). After all, he and Drake are BFFs. Perhaps The Boy made a call to headquarters.

Now that Yachty's Nike sho is here, I agree with CoolKicks: it is about time Yachty got his own shoe.
