7 CommentsAfter starting the week off with the release of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s collaboration album Watch the Throne, the music video for their single “Otis” made its premiere yesterday.

• Kanye Wearing Balmain and Air Jordan 3 in ‘E.T.’ Music Video
1 CommentKaty Perry’s music video for her latest single ‘E.T.’ premiered today, and Kanye West was seen wearing Balmain stretch denim biker jeans and Air Jordan 3 cement gray shoes. Kanye is no stranger to Balmain jeans, as he’s been wearing similar offerings from the Parisian luxury brand at many events including New York Fashion Week and the NBA All-Star game. The Air Jordan 3 cement gray retro shoes were released this past January, but with no clear view of the back of the sneaker in the video, it’s hard to tell if these are OGs with the Nike swoosh or retros with the Jumpman logo. This is the second consecutive music video where Kanye’s worn the Air Jordan 3. A little over a month ago he wore the black cement Air Jordan 3 sneakers in the ‘All of the Lights’ music video.

Although there isn’t any coverage of actual photography going on, you get a glimpse of Kanye wearing a white blazer and black dress pants, walking out of what can be assumed as the set for the photoshoot and into a trailer to change into a fur-lined coat and jeans.
