• Kanye’s Gold Jewelry and Accessories
No Comments

Kanye West went through the TSA airport screening earlier this afternoon. His flight attire included two gold Jesus pieces, gold bracelets, a belt, and a pair of Cartier “Vitesse” sunglasses. Kanye tweeted a picture of the items placed in a TSA security tray, saying “Set off the metal detectors with the Swag.” Considering he was in attendance at last night’s Bulls-Heat game in Chicago, one can only assume he was leaving a Chicago airport (Midway or O’Hare).

• Kanye’s Shoes: All-Star Weekend Wrap Up
1 Comment

If there is any confirmation that Kanye West is back to wearing sneakers over hard-bottoms, it is this past NBA All-Star weekend. Saturday was the debut for the music video for “All of the Lights,” where Kanye was seen wearing a pair of black/cement Air Jordan 3s. The short film “The Black Mamba” also premiered on that day, in which Kanye wore what could be a pair of the Air Yeezy 2 shoes. On Sunday, he made an appearance at the NBA All-Star game halftime show, performing “All of the Lights” with Rihanna. There, Kanye wore an all-red outfit and Jordan Infrared 6s. I might be jumping the gun by saying that Kanye is completely done with the Rosewood Movement, but he’s definitely looking like the Kanye from the Graduation era that blended European designer brands with Nike and Jordan sneakers.

Kanye West’s music video for “All of the Lights” premiered today. In the video, Kanye is seen wearing the black/cement Air Jordan 3s as he stands atop a police car. In other shots of the video, Kanye is also wearing a sleeveless top, a black jacket, and black sunglasses that resemble the frame of the Lanvin ‘Way Shiner’ sunglasses without the Swarovski crystals. Rihanna and Kid Cudi also make appearances in the music video, which was directed by Hype Williams.

• Nike Air Yeezy 2 Preview
6 Comments

Rumors about the upcoming Nike Air Yeezy 2 shoes have been circulating for months, and now we finally see some evidence of the shoe’s existence in Kobe Bryant’s “The Black Mamba,” directed by Robert Rodriguez. In the short film, you can catch a glimpse of Kanye wearing what could possibly be the Air Yeezy 2. The lining that surrounds the shoe is reminiscent of the original black/pink Yeezys, and the silhouette looks to draw inspiration from the Nike Air Tech Challenge II. There is no word yet on price or release date, but I think it’s safe to assume to expect more previews and information by the half-year mark. Check out the digitally enhanced photos below from Matt Halfhill of Nice Kicks.

The Cartier sunglasses are a vintage piece from 1991 and are nearly impossible to find, while the Actual Pain snapback hat was released last year and retails for $29.00
