• Kanye at Bape LA Store December 20, 2009

With the release of the second Kid Cudi x Milo t-shirt today, December 20th, at the Bape Los Angeles store on Melrose, Kid Cudi will make an appearance at the store this afternoon to sign autographs and meet with customers and fans. I also got word from sneaker head Franalations that Kanye West may also make an appearance with Cudi at the event. I called the Bape LA store immediately after I heard the news and a sales associate was unable to confirm Kanye’s presence, but also did not dispel the speculations. For anyone in the Los Angeles area who is thinking of going, I suggest you call the Bape LA store to see if there are any updates on a possible Kanye appearance, but Cudi’s appearance alone should be well worth it.

• Franalations’ Size 6.5 Black/Pink Air Yeezy

I don’t usually like posting live auctions on here, but I figure I’d make an exception in this case because of the rarity of the item. Sneaker aficionado, Franalations has put up his size 6.5 black/pink Nike Air Yeezy up for bids on Ebay with a starting price of $215. The auction for his used Yeezys ends on October 27 at 9:40 PM PST, and is currently at $228 with 4 bids. The Air Yeezys were already limited from the beginning of its release, but throw in the fact that these are the highly-coveted colorway of the 3 and a size 6.5 makes it all the more unique. If you wear a size 6.5 (or a size 7 because Yeezys are known to run a half size larger) and are looking for the black/pink Air Yeezys, I suggest you keep a close eye on Franalations’ auction.

• Franalations Shows the Jasper’s

Franaltions already showed his Louis Vuitton Don’s and is now back with his video for the Jasper’s. Again, pictures online do not justify the quality and attention to detail put into this collaboration between Kanye West and Louis Vuitton. There’s a specific reason these sneakers retail for $1,000+ and I think the excitement from Franalations in the video says it all.

• Louis Vuitton Don’s from Franalations

Sneaker 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.

• Air Yeezy Sightings

Head over to the official Kanye West website where there is an Air Yeezy Sightings section in the Photos page that allows visitors to submit their own Air Yeezy photos. Here is a photo of Franalations and Chris Brown at The Hundreds store in Los Angeles wearing the zen gray/light charcoal Yeezys.
