YEAHHHHH! He was rocking them shoes last night at the concert over here at Arco Arena! Let me tell you he was fresh with them shoes! The whole entire show was off the hook, but Kanye killed it! He really set a new standard for any artist trying to go on tour. His stage was off the hinges!!!! I dont want to say what were the details of his performance cuz i dont want to spoil it for anyone, but i will say his shoes did really glow in the dark!!
April 19th, 2008 at 3:31 pm

April 19th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Man those are soooo dope….Ive been wanting those since I watched Back 2the Future some months back (i.e those were the concept behind those shoes) but right now these joints are some of the illest joints ive seen inna while that weren’t retros….
April 19th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
I feel like american nike shoes are ugly. I like my air maxes and air force ones (though that is american).
April 19th, 2008 at 9:09 pm

April 19th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I personally dont like em…but I think people gettin on Ye just cause he got em on…come on….thass not necessary..
April 20th, 2008 at 4:17 am
@ #14 yng
Don’t get me wrong Ye be having nice pieces of clothes sometime
but he struggles to have a swag. And he always looks like he’s trying so hard.
Like one said he talented but not cool.
April 20th, 2008 at 6:03 am
DER SHIT - DEY HAVE A SUEDE FRONT SO THEY GONE SCUFF AND TEAR EVENTUALLY - THERE NOT EXACTLY ONE OF MY PAIRS THAT ID NEVER WEAR AND JUST TAKE OUT TO LOOK AT
THE PLASTIC STRAP NEEDS TO GO - ENUFF PEEPS DONT KNOW WHAT A GOOD TRAINER LOOKS LIKE SO THEYLL BUY THEM NEWAY
April 20th, 2008 at 9:50 am
that pic is not for promo, thats kanye at his laser tag birthday party, right?
seriouslythough… who cares about what shoes he’s wearing?
shouldn’t we be studying his chopskills and sense of hiphop culture?
besides, i dont wear kids sizes…
April 20th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Oh my goodness!!! These sneakers are just colorful. It just has an air bubble and a Nike check…Nothing on the tongue or strap. Yall people like em just ‘cuz Kanye rockin’ em. If Vanilla Ice or some other lame came out with these shits, yall’d definitely call da sneakers GARBAGE!!!
April 20th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
last ones, straight up
April 21st, 2008 at 1:26 am
These shits are dope, I saw them a lil while ago but I wouldn’t buy them. No Kanye hate! He’s doin him!
April 21st, 2008 at 3:48 pm
i love em..but only cuz they are so reminisent of some hot kicks..the old penny’s (in the heel area), the hi-top nike air assualt (as far as the size goes) and the nike’s marty mcfly rocked in back to the future 2 which were so cool (very similar overall)
April 21st, 2008 at 4:03 pm

June 1st, 2008 at 7:03 pm
You need the right outfit to rock em.
July 3rd, 2008 at 2:41 am
yo them shits is mad hot bigg up to mr.west
August 4th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Two of history’s greatest rappers 3-stacks and Big Boi have dressed dramatically more off-the-wall than Kanye is looking like in the above picture. My point is that Kanye is dressing all futuristic and so did Dre and Big Boi, all three of the MC’s will go down in history ass some of the greatest and they can pull anything off. Why not dress like it’s 2050. And the shoes as legit only if your rock’n your pants over the tongue.
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:16 pm
pls can u guyz tell me were i can get this shoe coz i need then in my new skl!! plzzzzzzzzz can u guyz tell me were r i can get tht shoes
November 3rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
At least kanye is unique, he stands out, he wants niggas 2 say shit about him,cuz some people will think their hot, for example mike jordan people were clowinin him for his air jordan 1’s, 20 yr, j’s are the shoes have
January 21st, 2009 at 3:52 pm
these are pretty hot mannn….I definitely think that Kanye’s status gonna give em popularity. Nonetheless im coppin deez
