Hip Hop artist Snoop Dogg has collaborated with German sportswear giant Adidas to release a new pair of American Football boots - inspired by money.

Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus, is the company's developer of football development.

The Adidas adizero 5-Star 5.0 not only feature the print of a $100 bill, but also boast a gold sole plate and the slogans "mind on my money" and "money on my mind" - lyrics from 1994 hit 'Gin and Juice'.

The boots also feature a lace lock with the slogan "Gotta Hustle" and when they arrive come wrapped in a $10,000 band.

However, British fans are not yet able to buy them in this country, with the boots or cleats (so far) only selling in the US at a retail price of $120 (£84).

They are the second pair of American football boots the rapper has released in collaboration with the firm, the first came out around a year ago and featured a roaring lion.

Snoop Dogg also goes by the alias Snoop Lion as a reggae artist.
