Nike Air Yeezy 2 Preview
February 19, 2011 | Category: Air Yeezy | 6 Comments | Author: John
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 Resurrection of the G.O.O.D Music Jesus Piece
February 4, 2011 | Category: Accessories | Leave a Comment | Author: John
It appears as though the Jesus piece has been resurrected by Kanye’s G.O.O.D music label. New artist, CyHi Da Prynce, recently had his Chaining Day and received a gold necklace, while Kanye has been seen wearing a pair of Jesus pieces in the past several weeks.
The Rosewood Movement and the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy showed Kanye’s newfound preference for suits and hard bottoms. During this time, Kanye essentially put his black Jesus piece on hiatus – when he was seen wearing something around his neck, he kept it modest and subtle with a beaded necklace or thin gold chains without a pendant. His turn away from the Jesus piece seemed to have an influence on other G.O.O.D music artists, such as Big Sean, who started rocking “POW!” necklaces from Japanese label Ambush, and Kid Cudi, who has appeared to have stopped wearing necklaces altogether.
