• Make Her Say Music Video Outfit
14 CommentsThe music video for Kid Cudi’s Make Her Say, featuring Kanye West and Common, was released yesterday after much anticipation from many fans. The video was directed by Nez Khammal and features a horizontal split screen for more of an abstract illusion. Although the music video is actually pretty simple, the presence of these 3 artists and the overall message in the song is essentially what makes the video. Kanye’s shot took place in Los Angeles and wore the black flat-top Super sunglasses from RETROSUPERFUTURE, a green Army-like jacket, khaki pants (or khaki-colored denim), and wheat-colored 6″ Timberland boots.
• Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Attention to Detail
8 CommentsIf you’re still undecided on the collaboration sneakers between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton, or feel the price is not justified, let’s hope these detailed photos of the Don’s change your mind. This is essentially what you receive when the biggest luxury brand in the world gets together with a perfectionist like Kanye.
• Fake Nike Air Yeezy Low
8 CommentsIt’s apparent that there are fake Nike Air Yeezy sneakers out there in the market. We’ve all seen the ridiculous colorways and poor craftsmanship. Of all the fake Yeezys, though, this low-top version definitely takes the cake. It’s one thing to replicate a sneaker by simply changing the colors, but changing a critical element of its design is just comical. The essence of the Air Yeezy is the fact that it’s a high-top and was influenced by the Mcfys; it’s “height” essentially makes the sneaker what it is. Unfortunately, it’s all part of the sneaker game and simply comes with the territory. If you can’t buy the real sneakers don’t buy the fake ones at all, especially the low-top ones. You’re better off saving your money and waiting a little longer. In the end, it’ll be worth it and much more gratifying.
• Kid Cudi’s Louis Vuitton Don’s
17 CommentsKanye West’s record label G.O.O.D. Music boasts the tagline, “The Best Dressed Record Label,” so it’s a must that every artist must come fashionably correct. From the luxury backpacks, Jesus pieces, and sneakers, they essentially have style down to a science. With the recent release of the Kanye West and Louis Vuitton collaboration sneaker, it’s only proper for the G.O.O.D. artists to support both mega brands. Here’s up-and-coming artist, Kid Cudi rocking a pair of the Louis Vuitton Don’s with Don C, who ironically enough is the reason for the name of the sneaker, brushing the Don’s in approval.
• Louis Vuitton Don’s from Franalations
6 CommentsSneaker connoisseur Franalations is known for his impressive sneaker collection and the reviews that he conducts on YouTube of his purchases. He’s created a very impressive internet following and if you’re not familiar with the name, I suggest you do a search on him because his collection is something serious. His latest video review is on the collaboration sneaker between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton, red size 9 Don’s, to be exact. Not only does the video reveal the sneaker’s high-quality construction, but also its great packaging. Each sneaker comes with its own canvas bag, 2 booklets (1 explaining the quality of the sneaker and 1 explaining the collaboration between Kanye and LV), and a little box that houses an extra pair of red laces. With Louis Vuitton, you get nothing short of perfection. Personally, I don’t think I’d spend $800+ on a pair of sneakers, LV or not, but Franalations does an effective job justifying the price and showing the sneaker’s top-quality.
