Finally, clear pics of the Air Yeezy’s. Still a little to bulky around the padded collar for my tastes, even though I like the cement print, which isn’t cement @ all but actually small Y’s jumbled together. Nice nuance. These come first & the release of his collabo with LV comes later in the summer (pics after the break). Those aren’t as tempting IMO and the tasseled laces are ungodly.
And, tune in to American Idol on Wednesday where Kanye will be performing “Heartless” for all middle America.
Finally, young Mr. West continues to make the rounds with the bull-dyker broad Ms. Rose. Methinks she wears the strap-on in this particular relationship.
But nevertheless, this Kanye-train cannot, I say it will not, be stopped ladies & gents.

The longer it takes for these to drop, the less and less I like them.
I’m usually not one for the hype, but I fell for it with these when we first heard about them. Now common sense is kicking in, and these just aren’t that hot.
glancing at those now makes me think of The Warfare Collective’s “Hypebeast” drawing:

I’d rather a retro OG colorway of Air Revolutions or Air Flight 89′s & call it a day
the tan joints are butter.
not surprising that the palette of colorways to select from is pastel. That midfoot strap just seems superfluous
The pink on the interior is just too much for me. Kanye’s fuckin’ up. This summer will be too hot for all that ankle support.
wait a minute, I’mma hypocrite…I don’t have any room to talk about pastel colorways, when I own Linens (real AF1 heads know what uhm tombout)
@ Douglas Howser – aye dog, where’d u cop ur AM95 Neons at? I need a purr
Linens are so much different though sir.
I searched high & low for those @ one point. Once I found them, I wear them a gang of times.
I still remember when the lil homie Ewayz from Sneakerpimps bought a gazillion pairs of B-grades from the outlets (particularly one in Tx). The game was NEVER the same after that lol
I copped them from O Sneaker…. $200, but I kept missing them every time they released. I’m pleased with the purchase.
oh shit, Gotty, I *might* have some B-grades then, lol, now that you mention it
I copped mine in ’02 from Premium Goods when they were based in Brooklyn, before they moved to Texas…that Texas/Ewayz/Speakerpimps connection is just a little too close for comfort, in retrospect, but nothing to cry over now, so eff it, lol
wooowww, you said Sneakerpimps…! I used to STAY on that joint (PAUSE), I was even sweatin’ some of the b-grades they used to slang on there, like the Acorns….ahhh, memories, lol
@ Douglas Howser – oh, so u copped online then? I was thinking I could cop locally in DMV from like a DTLR or Sports Zone, but if there’s no other alternative, I guess I gotta bite that e-bullet & pay out the ass for shipping
@ Teef… shhhhh

Ahh, the good ole days of sneakerpimp.
I’m still salty they closed up shop before I pulled the trigger on the Escape AF1s they had in their store FOREVER. Can’t find a deadstock pair of those anywhere.
Amber Rose FTW!!!
“Amber Rose FTW!!!”
^ lol, hellz yeah
@ DH – good looks…you just created an additional opportunity for me to break bread I don’t got, lol
this punk-ass drummer named ?uestlove from this band called The Roots or something posted what I assume to be a fraction of his sneaker collection: http://twitpic.com/photos/qoolquest
I’m hatin’
premium goods..now i miss houston:(
the outlet is only bout an hr away from me..but it succs now
oh pass on these sneakers….cosign teef.just buy some Air Flight 89′s
yo, who ever let kanye design some sneakers for LV needs to be fired like last week. these shits look like when homers brother let him design the car of the future. these are classic, their just classless
They remind me of his hairstyle. ‘Nuff said.
disgusting…would have been much happier had Nike just stuck to the original plan and waited to release this style silhouette in 2011 as “McFlys”
fucking kanye gotta go ruin everything…
(do the yeezys come standard with a mullet and “window shade” sunglasses?)
but on another note…
i cant lie…those LVs are pretty butter
I still remember when the lil homie Ewayz from Sneakerpimps bought a gazillion pairs of B-grades from the outlets (particularly one in Tx). The game was NEVER the same after that lol
———————————-
reminds me of when i found 10 pairs of “B-Grade” Uncles at the Gilroy, CA Nike outlet…easiest $2500 ive ever made.
and since were on the sneaker tip…was anyone else who copped the original Bacons hella mad when they were re-released?
that shit let everyone who slept on them the first time get a 2nd chance…i went on a Nike ban for a good while after that (caught up on the Y-3 game during that time)
I used to STAY on that joint (PAUSE), I was even sweatin’ some of the b-grades they used to slang on there, like the Acorns
==============
I made a HUGE profit on B-corns fam. This was right before cleaning out the outlets was popular. I hit two outlets here for about 50-60 prs.
I’m not feeling any of the colorways of those Air Yeezy’s, so they will be an easy pass.
I really enjoyed the final 5 American idol group medley last night. It was moving to see Aaron Kelly removed however I do think the other contestants were better singers hence he needed to go!
I really think Donald Trump would be a much better American Idol judge than Harry Connick Jr. – Trump isn’t at all afraid to say what he thinks and can be as controversial as Simon Cowell.
