• Early Release in Milan
3 CommentsIndigoRokk has just sent me a Youtube video of the black/pink Nike Air Yeezy in his possession. When asked how he was able to get a hold of a pair 2 weeks in advance of the actual release date (May 2), he stated that a store located in Milan already released the sneaker. In fact, IndigoRokk purchased a size 10 and his brother, who coincidentally enough is HouseManForever, purchased a size 11. The very same size 11 that was the first to find its way onto Ebay. Meanwhile, the only thing we can do in the U.S. is continue to wait patiently for that May 2 release.
April 22nd, 2009• Round 4 of Style War
1 CommentKanye West has advanced to Round 4 of Style War and will face Pharrell Williams for a fashion matchup that was destined from the start of this competition. Of the 4 remaining matchups, this one in particular is the most intriguing because of Kanye and Pharrell’s fashion influence on the rest of today’s Hip-Hop world. Pharrell introduced A Bathing Ape (Bape) to the masses, while Kanye made it cool to wear slim-fit clothing. Moreover, Kanye has gone on record to say that he looks up to Pharrell when it comes to fashion (see: Composing History- The Making of Late Registration) and even Kanye’s style consultant, Ibn Jasper, elludes to Pharrell as one of the few rappers who is on par with the G.O.O.D. Music record label when it comes to “getting fresh.” By Wednesday, April 22, we’ll see how this all plays out. For more information regarding Style War, visit Stylewar.Complex.com.
