Didn’t Jay have on these shoes when he was out with Ush? Those first ones look like the same ones Jay had on, but I could be wrong.

i think peoples views would change based on exclusivety. thats not even a correctly spelled word.

if these were at SHIEK and footlocker…yawn.

if they were some rare shit. i’d see folks shellin money out.

not feelin the colorway. maybe all white

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!!

@ #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.

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…

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!!!

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)

THE:REAL wrote on 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.
