So Rick Ross Louis Vuitton Shades May Of Been Customized

shades

Hmmm, I doubt Louis Vuitton is feeling the idea of customizing shades, it makes bootlegging easier. Does customizing a product take away from its authenticity?

  1. 2 Words. Swallow it. Says:

    Nothing to do with Hip Hop. So i can careless, Fuck Louis Vuitton and that fat white guy on the photo is doing. Double xxl got so much clicks this week.

    But on about the topic. customizing a product takes away from its authenticity because is Customized. theirs only 1 or 2 of it’s kinda and not massed produced.

    More Hip Hop less bullshit.

    So What..
    Lets Move On Shall We?

  3. THE REAL Says:

    I AM TIRED OF THIS BLOGGER THAT DONT KNOW GRAMMER…THE WORD SHOULD BE “HAVE’ NOT “OF”….GUESS HE DONT KNOW BETTER BECAUSE I DID THE SAME THING A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE…GO BACK TO SCHOOL NI*GEL IF YOU HAVE A READING PROBLEM

  4. LatinKing Says:

    c’mon mang……RTNY…you really stretching to help Rick on the situation

    when you buy a High End (expensive) product you do not customize it…..

    You don’t customize a Rolls Royce or Bentley
    You don’t customize an Impala (you restore it)
    You don’t customize a Gucci shirt
    etc etc

    You customize things to make them better (i.e. Honda’s, Race Cars, etc)

    So STOP IT!!!!!!! RICK IS A FRAUD! And his Shades are FUGAAAAAGAAAAAAAA

  5. DErtyJEANS Says:

    no how can customizing take away from or mean something isnt authentic. its like painting a car a custom color so it will stand out is the car now longer “authentic” because u chose to express ur individuality by doing something out the ordinary to it…..NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK

  10. *Da* *Baddest* *Bitch* Says:

    It looks like he went to some fat guy on Canal Street to customize them. It makes no sense to go out of your way to customize some generic looking shades. Just buy the real deal.

  11. What The ?? Says:

    @ The Real – Please don’t criticize someone else’s grammar if yours is not up to snuff.

    “Guess He Don’t Know” in your response should be changed to “I guess he doesn’t know”

    You guys keep me entertained while I’m at work, not working.

  12. C.O. Killer Says:

    uh…this just proves they were fake “LV” if they werent made by “LV” dat makes dem fakes…if u take d “LV” logo n put dem on different frames den d glasses r fake! stop dick riding ross nigel

    crime pays

  14. Q Says:

    Well does customizing J’s take away its authenticity?

    THERES YA ANSWER

  15. It's Just Me Says:

    Well Dirty Jeans has said it better than no one.

    Customizing doesn’t mean a thing. If it’s authentic, it’s authentic no matter how you look at it.

    It’s coming from someone’s name in the first place. The reason people buy them, isn’t because of the name, it’s because of the name behind the price.

    If the were called Snotty Nose Jose Shades and they were $8000 people would buy them. If they were Louis Vitton and they were $1.99, people wouldn’t.

    So if you customized and they still cost thousands than the main word is there, that’s “VALUE.”

    Now…

    In conclusion… I would never pay over a few bucks for shades and all that. People are silly.

    I just seen that jackass Soulja Boy $12,000 receipt.

    Black people will spend $12,000 on clothes + weed and have no investments.

    Wise up!

    NO … YOU JUMPED THE GUN ABD WROTE AN ARTICLE THAT WAS A LOAD OF BULLSHIT … FUCK ROSS / FUCK G-UNIT UNDERGROUND HIP HOP 4EVER

    911 WAS AN INSIDE JOB

  24. noelle Says:

    But that logo was not one of their designs obvioualy…so it aint real

  25. noelle Says:

    I was gonna compare it to having Forces and putting all types of fabric on it fabricating that they are “Gucci” Nike’s, but that is using 2 different brands

  26. I_love_pumz Says:

    #4 u stupid as fuck,,, customize what u wanna customize, boycott there shit but when niggas get rich they wanna be seen in rich nigga shit.

  27. noelle Says:

    And..LV already disputed the claim/case

  28. noelle Says:

    I mean I know the shades are his, but customizing them will bring the value waaaay down. And obviously LV will knock you down. Not that he is planning on selling them

  29. noelle Says:

    Cause the authenticity..just isn’t there. But Nevermind me my nigga!

  30. Backlash Says:

  35. whoaa Says:

    lol am i missing somethin here? where does it say this guy customized Ross’ shades?

    so Realtalk sees some article bout a guy who customizes shades the quickly posts it up sayin Ross probably had the customized version? lol its disgusting how Realtalk stoops so low to defend the fakery.

    what a joke

  36. moneycash Says:

    LV themsleves said they don’t stand behind the product, they don’t approve of that shit, how ever you wanna cut it… ^^^^^dude up above, Get a fucking life douche bag, Really, 50 paid LV to put out a flase statment on Rick Ross… you dick head, LV have been fighting bootleggers for years, they stop TI from dropping that LV rag video, they had cops crack down on mad niggas on Canal street and 28th broadway selling fake LV bags. LV is making sure they keep their authenicity, their allure, they don’t wanna get played out like gucci is doing to themselves. Have you ever saw LV on sale, they rather burn the shit, LV is not even sold at outlets(woodberry). They don’t want their name compromised.

  37. Reckless Says:

    Does customizing a product take away from its authenticity??

    WTF…Does customizing a bmw take away from the fact that its still a bmw?….When all these motherfuckas be putting tvs in their cars, and putting 24s on they trucks and all that shit….Its the same damn thing. So NO customizing a product DOES NOT take away from its authenticity.

  38. yo Says:

    ALL YALL SHUT THE HELL UP. YALL ACT LIKE RICK ROSS COULDN’T AFFORD A PAIR OF SHADES.

  39. yo Says:

    ALL YALL SHUT THE HELL UP. YALL ACT LIKE RICK ROSS COULDN’T AFFORD A PAIR OF SHADES.

  40. wack and deranged Says:

    These fools who edit these posts really need to spell and proof read their posts. In this day and age of spell checkers how can a major blog like this keep making such mistakes. Everyones needs to keep of Rick Ross. I could care less if hr drives a KIA, all I care about is his music…only jobless fools bother about minute details actually thinking their favorite rapper really lives the lives they claim on their tracks.

    Stupidity and the universe are surely unlimited.

  41. Backlash Says:

    @#33 Following Louis Vuitton’s letter sent to XXL saying that Rick Ross was wearing counterfeit glasses on the magazine cover, Jacob Bernstein, also known as the Sunglasses Pimp, explained why LV thought the glasses were fake:

    “It’s the same thing as buying a Rolls Royce and tricking out the entire interior, adding on a body kit, adding on the rims; after all that, you’re not going to call the Rolls Royce counterfeit. That’s the same service we provide for our clients with authentic pieces. Just because the product has been customized by me does not take away from the fact that the frames are authentic Louis Vuitton Millionaires”. Brad Pitt, Gwen Stefani, Beyoncé, Ludacris, Jay Z, Cee Lo, Big Boi, Kanye West, P-Diddy, Will I Am, Apple, Tabu, Maroon 5, Black Thought, Matt Dillon, John Travolta, Kevin Spacey, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Paxton, Mary J. Blige, Goldie Hawn, Sharon Stone, Usher are some of the celebrities that shop at Jack’s Eyewear located in Los Angeles. So many people have called inquiring about obtaining the sunglasses we customized for Rick Ross. “I pride myself with the experience we provide for our clients and we do not use counterfeit pieces” says Jack and claims of counterfeit are defamation to me and Rick Ross.”

  42. veraci0us Says:

    @wack and deranged

    proof read your own shit.

  43. WHO GIVES TWO SHITS Says:

    WHO GIVES A SHIT AINT THERE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD TO BE CONCERN ABOUT?

  44. okokokaay Says:

    Niggas is born haters.

    A nigga buy an expensive watch and takes it to the jeweller to ice out the band then he gets clowned for altering it.

    The day we live in.

  45. SP Says:

    This nigga RAWSE a excuse for everything. The trademark of a terrible lair. I wasn’t expecting officer Ricky to admit the truth anyways….NEXT!

  46. County Of Kings Says:

    theres a million africans selling customized air jordans down on 28th street in manhattan

    i swear this dude got no coverage when he was a “real rapper” but when he became a “fake rapper” he in the news everyday. rappers go broke actually paying for this kinda media attention.

  47. Ezee-T Says:

    Agree with #4. Why the fuck would you wanna customize a high-end product? Have you ever seen a customized Ferrari Enzo? Some things are better off left alone.

    For some things a cumstom job would enhance it’s look but for other things it doesn’t work at all. In this case Officer Ricky’s sunglasses are worse than they actually were. Just like seeing a pink Bugatti Veyron.

    **For those who think this shouldn’t concern this site: yall should just fuck off. This does involve hip-hop whether you like it or not.

  48. wow Says:

    ALL YALL SHUT THE HELL UP. YALL ACT LIKE RICK ROSS COULDN’T AFFORD A PAIR OF SHADES

  55. Likeabite Says:

    LV said the shades themselves were unreal…not the fact that it was costumized…#13 said it best…how do y’all feel when you see someone with customized shades on? Enough said

  56. SMH Says:

    That nigga aint got 50 money but he still rich as fuck. I can fuckin afford some louie glasses…. shit.. Only rich niggaz customize shit assholes. He from MIA that’s how them niggaz do. ps……………

    FUCK LOUIE AND GUCCI

  60. conversateisnotaword Says:

    Of course customization takes away from authenticity!!! Jus like buying a Benz, or Rolls Royce and putting televisions in the headrests, or even rims. It devalues the product. “Strut” grills, body kits and anything aftermarket, (unless by the dealership) ruins the original.

  61. conversateisnotaword Says:

    @ The Real! I noticed the title of this post as well, was thinking the same thing about the grammar of the blogger! It is obvious that said blogger doesn’t have an editor, proof-reader or just doesn’t care to know proper grammar. I’ve commented before, but I was told by another blogger that this is a hip hop site and most of “us” don’t care or know proper grammar anyway?!?! Wtf! After that, I realized I was outnumbered

  62. Yall so stupid Says:

    Why even buy LV shades if your just going to customize them??? the point is the brand name of shades.But when you customize them it decreases value and loses authenticity.
    rick ross and anybody else who buys expensive shades/glasses AND THEN pay for them to be customize is STUPID!!!!
    you may as well just buy some cheaper shades and do whatever you like to them. their is no point.

    Hahaha i thought Officer Ross had a line of his own sunglasses coming out? lol. That bitch nigga stay lying. Hip Hop has fallen to a new low. Hip Hop is the new WWE for black people.

  68. idiot friendly Says:

    cosign^^^^^

  69. noelle Says:

    Yes huh Reckless. If you have 50 tvs in your car..I mean who is gonna want that in 10 years when the depreciated value is like $10?

  70. noelle Says:

    If you see a souped up Benz on a lot with all types of gadgets that you do not want, after you take out all that garbage, the car is like..not worth shit. Unless you..fix it up?

  71. noelle Says:

    It is like a bad episode of Pimp My Shades :-/

  72. noelle Says:

    Idk how much more simpler I can put it. You take the glasses, add your own touch, you take away authenticy either way. LV already said they have nothing to do with the glasses

  73. Dede bpt Says:

    what did u expect he a fake nigga so he rockin fake shades

  74. Lefty Duvall Says:

    hell yeah it takes away the original flavor. ppl do that with cars all the time but what they don’t realize is that by adding kits and upgrading the sound system they’re cancelling out the warranty

    shades tho? I say do whatcha want to ‘em but the issue is whether or not they’re fake. LV says the joints are bang bang, so they’re bang bang

  75. bushwick pure Says:

    lmao oh my god nigaz actually gonna tell the nigga marc jacob aka loui v niggaz dont know that that they not fake n the nigga and his team aint design them shit….lmao niggaz thats like buying a honda and putting a benz emblem on it…lol its still a honda…..lol

  76. haha Says:

    those ain’t rolex diamonds
    wtf you done to that?

  77. noelle Says:

    Haha……..yeah. At haha

  78. Mi Mi Says:

    Once Ross altered the LV Millis with jewels and other BS it became blackmarket, which is a step between bootleg and official. Similar to a whip…if you have a manufactured bmw and aftermarket it with rims, tvs, and other ish it depreciates that car by like 40%. “Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?” SMH

  79. LVlover Says:

    They are fake!!! Louis Vuitton made a statement:

    “We were dismayed to see the cover of the May 2009 issue of XXL Magazine, which features a photo of Rick Ross wearing a pair of sunglasses prominently featuring counterfeit Louis Vuitton trademarks. Because the photo has generated considerable confusion among your readers and Louis Vuitton customers among others, we feel it is important to clarify several points. The first is that the sunglasses Mr. Ross is wearing were not made by Louis Vuitton, and in fact, are counterfeit. Louis Vuitton did not grant permission to Mr. Ross or to whoever did make the sunglasses to use our trademarks. The second is that no affiliation, sponsorship or association exists between Rick Ross or XXL and Louis Vuitton. The third is that counterfeiting is illegal. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to correct the confusion.”

  80. hotti99 Says:

    ignorant peeps. ross knows quality and wants to customize it to make it unique. no, doesn’t take away authenticity of LVs. LV made a stupid ass judgment seeing just a cover photo. the original LV marks are on the inside of temples. unless the lawyer has clairvoyant abilities he better apologize for the letter to XXL. bernstein not selling fakes. check out the facts. he is in american way magazine with the LVs in hand.

  81. Rezz909 Says:

    Are those fagget shades for you faggots in the music industry? Why would any dude wear glitzy shades unless he’s fudge packer? Gangsters don’t wear glitzy shit or pink clothes unless your a female. Them shits are wack looking.

  82. beatmaxx Says:

    it doesnt matter they are fake..this dude Ross is hip hop’s biggest fraud…chk out beatmaxx.blogspot.com..to hear…

  83. thisislondon Says:

    damm der so many broke asses on this site, how can u say customising ur shit takes away the value, rich people dont care about the value cos they dont plan on selling it, and lets be real here, rick ross can afford the most expensive LV sunglasses on earth, im not even very rich but i’ve got gucci, armani, channel and prada glasses.

    If you can afford to buy sunglasses for 1.000 pounds and customise it then it means u got too much money to move about. i mean this nigga owns a phantom and a maybach, how much do those silly glasses cost anyway.
    LV dont want rappers to wear they shit cos they fear rich white people who are there major customers would’t buy them anymore cos rich white people dont wanna be seen wearing the same shit as some black man that come from the endz (hood). thats why LV refused to give clearance for the ti video.

  84. Rezz909 Says:

    “thisislondon”
    Like i said,
    only faggots like you would wear this wack kind of gay shit. That’s why you live in london queer bait!

  85. notalk Says:

    ha ha

  86. Fuckobama Says:

    LOL! these shades are kinda gay lookin’
