• Big Sean Hints at a Nike Air Yeezy 2

After all three colorways of Kanye West’s Nike Air Yeezy shoe were released last year, the growing rumors of an Air Yeezy 2 offering quickly began to develop. In fact, even after the release of the first colorway, the Zen Gray Yeezys, Kanye started those very Air Yeezy 2 rumors when he created a video blog thanking everyone who picked up a pair of the original version. More than a year later, speculation has once again peaked after Big Sean hinted at a Nike Air Yeezy 2 when he was interviewed by The Shoe Game.

(At 4:27) Responding to the question about an Air Yeezy 2 possibly being in the works, Big Sean replies, “Who knows? I know too- I just can’t say.”

Readers, what do you think? Will there be an Air Yeezy 2 release in 2011?

• I Got It 4 Cheap: Gap Chambray Shirt

Even though the Spring and Summer seasons are behind us, chambray shirts can still be incorporated into any outfit for Fall. In fact, if you don’t currently own the lightweight button-up garment and want to save money, this is the perfect time of the year to make your purchase. Many retail stores are already discounting their collections from previous seasons to make room for their Fall/Winter inventory. Gap has a chambray shirt on sale for $41.99, which is a reasonable price considering chambrays are sold upwards to $300. Gap’s offering is constructed of 100% cotton and features contrast stitching with complementary white buttons. Kanye West has been seen wearing chambrays in the past, like at the Bape Los Angeles grand opening, as seen below, where he wore a Bape chambray shirt.
