This is officially my joint for 09, I mean... only till I drop some more shit. This will be off Wayne's all rock album, The Rebirth. Make sure you download this joint here.
These look very dope in this Hot Lava colorway. I usually only like these in their OG colors, but these are definitely a must have. Be looking to spend a good 350 after tax.
Kanye might become one of America's best sneaker desingers. These, along with the Yeezy's, are two of the best shoes I've seen in years! I agree with Ferris Bueller, I would LOVE to see him design a Jordan.
I made a quick stop at Ross today, not to shop... just to look and poke fun at the shit they have, when I came across some of the most terrible knock offs I have EVER seen. The Shaq Marshall Amp Bs's. Lol. I mean... from top to bottom, you can tell that they straight up JACKED the fucking shoes from Nike Sb. I mean... what can really be said? I haven't seen something this bad since the Payless Fadidas. Lol. Got pics bellow, peep... and enjoy!
Sorry for the terrible pic, but I'm also sorry that the Sidekick LX has a terrible camera. More to come.... (Sidebar: Yes, I re-copped the Buzz Lightyear bag. But I'm sure you would've too. Lol)
These red joints crank. I'm looking forward to these now. Here's the there official word from LV...
PARIS — Marc Jacobs and the Louis Vuitton men’s studio director Paul Helbers have some design competition this season. Kanye West, who was sitting front row at the Vuitton show, has designed a line of five LV sneakers. Only one design, above, was featured in the show — a monochromatic midtop with no frills, save for a quilted flap in the back, all the easier to tuck pants into. “The inspiration came from a jacket with a huge collar in the movie ‘Dune,’ ” West says. “Most sneakers focus on the tongue, so I wanted to do something different.” West knows whereof he speaks: he says he has no idea how many shoes he owns, but he does know that he routinely needs to send shipments off to storage. The LV-meets-Kanye kicks will be available at Louis Vuitton stores in June.
This is kinda dope. I haven't really heard any music from Big Sean, but this is a definite hit. And big ups to Mr. Hudson vocals on this record too. Mr. Thicke may have some competition. Lol. (Sidebar: The flow sounds Kanye-esque, I hope there isn't any ghostwriting going down.)
It has come to my attention that the people over at GOOD Music, not only musically, but fashion wise are KILLING the game right now. And quite frankly, they've been doing it every since the College Dropout days. So in the edition of CERTIFIED DOPE, I will be showcasing kanYe, Don C., Ibn Jasper, Cons to the Quence, Big Sean, Common, and last but definitely not least KiD CuDi.
He has become one of my favorite photographer's. It's like he captures reality with every photo. Here's a little information on this great artist:
Born in New York City and raised in Hollywood, Terry began photographing his environment while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock band. And he hasn't stopped shooting since. Terry has lensed campaigns for such clients as Gucci, Sisley, Miu Miu, Chloe, and his editorial work has appeared in magazines such as French Vogue, British Vogue, i-D, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Purple, and his impressive list of subjects includes Daniel Day Lewis,Leonardo DiCaprio, Vincent Gallo, Tom Ford, Jay Z, Kanye West, Johnny Knoxville, Karl Lagerfeld, Pharell Williams and many others.
HAPPY BDAY TO THE LEADING LADY OF MY MOTION PICTURE, MS. (OR MRS, DEPENDING ON HER ATTITUDE THAT DAY) ANITRA. I LOVE YOU BABY, AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR 19TH YEAR ON EARTH. YA MAN GOT YOU... I PROMISE, NOT LIKE BIGGIES I GOT YOU TO KIM... BUT FOR REAL. LOL. HAPPY BDAY AND MANY MORE TO COME.
Is anyone actually feeling these? The whole top of the shoe bites the shit out of the Air Yeezy (due out March). I guess to all of the people who miss out on the Yeezy or can't afford them, you can cop these for $95. The is just another case of Nike eating off the fame and hype of one of their greater shoes.
This is another new thing I'm bringing to the UEKS blog this year. With this, I will show pics of people with retarded fresh outfits. In this edition, I'm showcasing Rev Run's son Diggy. I know sometimes he comes off real Hypebeat-ish, but this fit is definitely DOPE. Diggy's also new to the blog world, so if you're interested... you can peep it here.
