• Good Wood Black Jesus Piece Significance

With the release of the Good Wood Black Jesus piece at midnight EST on Black Friday, Chris Lee speaks with Time Out New York to talk about the significance of the wooden accessory. Since Chris first previewed the black Jesus piece on his website, CtotheJL, over a month ago, blogs and Kanye fans have been anticipating its availability to the public. Little was known about the release, as it was believed to be an exclusive for a select number of individuals. As Chris states in the video, the black Jesus piece will only be available for a 24 hour period and will never be released again. This is definitely more exclusive compared to Good Wood’s first release, the brown Jesus piece, which was available for pre-order on the Good Wood website for several weeks.

Check out the second photo below of Chris showing the back of the black Jesus piece made for yours truly. Thank you to Chris and the rest of Good Wood for the complementary black Jesus piece!

• Good Wood Black Jesus Piece on Black Friday

The Good Wood black Jesus piece will be available for purchase on the Good Wood online store on Black Friday, November 27th. The piece will retail for $65 and will officially go live on midnight EST for 24 hours. After the 24 hour period passes, it will never be released again. For all those who truly want to “dress like Kanye West”, as this website indicates, go after this accessory. Even though Kanye may not have been the first rapper to wear a Jesus piece, he took it to a whole different level, abandoning gold, platinum, and diamonds, for a solid black Jesus piece that established a cleaner, more subtle appearance.

Several weeks back I showed you the brown and black maple wood Good Wood Jesus pieces that belong to Chris Lee and Joe La Puma, respectively. Although the black Jesus piece is not for sale to the public, the brown piece is available for pre-order and ships November 15. If you’re trying to get your “Dress Like Kanye West” on, this is definitely a staple piece to complete the outfit, as the infamous black Jesus piece is known to be Kanye’s choice of jewelery. What’s better is if you’re trying to pull off a Kanye costume for next year’s Halloween, this Jesus piece will set you apart from all the other Kanyes out there. Here are additional photos of the black Good Wood Jesus piece from Emeka Obi and Marcus Troy.

• Jesus Piece Necklace by Good Wood

Even though the late Notorious B.I.G. is no longer here, his influence on a lot of today’s rappers lives on. Not only through lyrics and flow, but also through fashion. Biggie made the infamous Jesus piece his choice of jewelry in the 90s and a significant amount of rappers today are resurrecting the piece, YES, pun intended. Two rappers quickly come to mind- Kanye West and Kid Cudi (FYI Cudi’s Jesus piece is actually Kanye’s old one). If you’ve ever wanted to own a Jesus piece but didn’t have the funds and despised the cheap imitations in the market, New York-based brand Good Wood has got you covered. For sale to the public, the Good Wood Jesus piece features a 30-inch wood beaded chain and a maple wood Jesus pendant. For the lucky few who are friends, family, and industry heads, Good Wood has made an exclusive black Jesus piece just for them.
