Jim Jones Disses Kanye and the Air Yeezy

June 23, 2009 | Category: Air Yeezy, Streetwear Fashion | Author: John (admin)

Jim Jones spoke to Complex magazine about sneakers and how they were so influential to his life growing up. He mentioned everything from the Adidas Shell-toe to Nike Cortez to the Puma Clyde. At about the 2:30 mark in the video, he says, “There’s a lot of cornballs with their own sneaker that I would never ever wear…” and at the very end he states, ” I have more than a hundred pairs of sneakers, but I didn’t wanna have nothing to do with those,” as the interviewer holds up a pair of the net/net (tan) Nike Air Yeezy. Not everyone believes the Air Yeezy looks good and Jimmy is entitled to his own opinion, but from Jim Jones’ hustler mentality, he should give Kanye credit for being the first non-athlete to hook up with Nike to do a sneaker.

straight up hating! lol, i like how he mentions all the brands he would do a sneaker with… there’s a reason no one’s approached him to do a sneaker.. and theres a reason NIKE approached Kanye

There’s a lot of tension between the Dip-Set camp and many of the current and former members of Roc-A-fella. I think Jonesie might be a little sore due 2 ‘Ye’s affiliation w/ Jay-Z. Keep in Context. The reality is, Kanye has this fashion shit on lock and it’s definitely hard 2 give credit where it’s due when you only sold a few thousand records your last Go-Round. Mr. West is unstoppable right now, not forever, but definitely for the moment.
