The involvement of RocNation is a great look for the company as they’ll be appealing to a massive hip hop audience, loyal to the artists that they love.
The headphones will come in white, brown and black and they’ll feature “top-grade metals, polycarbonate headphone cups, plush, memory foam ear pillows, and finished with premium optics previously only seen in the realm of high-fashion eyewear.” SkullCandy is planning for a June 2010 release, but you can get the heads up on an exact release date here.
