B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T..... I DONT WANT TO WALK AROUND LOOKING LIKE I HAVE SNOW ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE. THAT DAMN SHOE IS THICK AS A BRICK, IM NOT A SHORTY TRYING TO LOOK TALLER BY GIVING MYSELF 4INCHES OF SOLE...... KAYNE COME HARD ON DESIGN OR COMB YO [EXPLETIVE] HAIR.....NOBODY TRYING TO PAY LOUIS VUITTON OR KAYNE FOR A LOW END PAIR OF DUNKS ON THE CORNY SIDE......[EXPLETIVE] THAT! KICK HIM OUT THE CLASS.............
MANNN YALL ARE SOME HATING ASS PPL ON THIS SITE. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM SHOES. IF JAY WAS WALKING DOWN THE SIDEWALK IN THE ISLANDS SOMEWHERE WITH BEY WITH SOME WHITE LINEN ON WITH A PAIR OF THOSE. MTO WILL BE ALL ON HIS ASS SAYING "JAY WEARING THE LATEST LOUIE LINEN ALONG WITH THE SHOES" (CAPTION OF SHOES) "REAL CLASSY AND GROWN". THAT'S WHY US AS BLACKS WILL NEVER COME TOGETHER AND CONTROL OR MARKET SHIIT TOGETHER CUZ WE HATE WHENEVER ONE OF US DO STUFF.
THEN SOMEONE SAID, IT'S SHOES THAT LOOK LIKE THAT ALREADY. UMMMMMM JUST LIKE ALL THE JEANS,SHIRTS,HATS,JACKETS ETC IN THE WORLD DO. SMH
I UNDERSTAND THOUGH, CUZ MOST PPL ON THIS SITE THINK TIMBZ GO WITH EVERYTHING. U CAN ALWAYS TELL WHEN SOMEONE NEVER BEEN ON VACATION. WHEN U GET ON THE CRUISE OR GET TO THE SPOT, THEY WILL UNPACK TIMBZ, JEANS, WITH NO KIND OF VACATION WEAR OR ISLAND WEAR. NO SUIT OR DRESS SHIRTS FOR DINNER OR CRUISE BALL. THEIR OUTFIT CONSIST OF POLO SHIRT WITH BLACK KHAKIS AND SOME "NEW" TIMBZ.
@ TROOPER- I agree with you on that. Black folks always quick to BASH one negro while celebrating and kissing the boots of another negro. The point being, BLACK FOLKS CAN'T STAND to see more than ONE black person successful. Yall ALWAYS COMPARING! Why can't JAY and KAYNE be TWO successful businessmen in their own right? Why can't Jay and 50 be two different businessmen with different business plans and goals?
I'm sick of folks comparing Rihanna to Ciara. Can't BOTH BLACK BEAUTIFUL women be successful without PITTING one against the other?! Last night some of yall was compaing 50 to JAy talking about "whatever, he ain't got Jay's money"! What the hell does that have anything to do with anything. 50 his OWN person and JAy his own man. Quit the damn comparisons!!!! Sorry to rant but it's been irksome lol.
PPL ON THIS SITE HAVE ME WONDERING IF U EVER WORE DRESS SHOES OR DRESSED UP? I MEAN I COULD CARE LESS IF YE MADE THESE OR DIDN'T. MY THING IS AS A MAN AND READING SO CALL MEN COMMENTS ON THIS PAGE. IS THAT IT SEEM U ALL LIVE IN A GYM SHOE, SNEAKER, TIMBZ WORLD. I KNOW THIS IS NOT EVERYONE BUT WANT SOME MEN OR BOYS DO A TEST. OPEN YOUR CLOSET AND COUNT YOUR SUITS, DRESS SHIRTS(POLO SHIRTS DON'T COUNT), DRESS SHOES (ALL BLACK AF1'S DON'T COUNT)FUNNY, BUT I'VE SEEN DUDES WEAR THEM AS DRESS SHOES. IN THE 90'S NAUITCA HAD THE SAME SHOES AND PPL IN THE HOOD WAS ROCKIN JUST TO SAY THEY HAD NAUITCA. ALSO RALPH LAUREN ETC. AND DON'T FORGET THE PENNY LOAFERS. PPL USE TO ACTUALLY THINK THEY WERE BETTER CUZ THEY HAD A NICKEL IN THE SLOT AND CALLED THEM NICKEL LOAFERS. WHATEVER IS OUT TODAY HAS ALREADY CAME OUT IN THE PAST. IT'S JUST ALL BEING RECYCLED.
@ Missk1203- I don't COMPARE other artists to BEYONCE. Beyonce is a clown. She is nothing more than a coochie popping side-show. What I do is DEFEND the REAL ARTISTS who are being COMPARED to the tranny-licious Beyonce. Case in point, I always tell people don't COMPARE MAry J. Blige, Alicia, or Faith, Jill Scott, or Ciara to Beyonce because BEY will never BE on their LEVEL.
However, when there are 2 SUCCESSFUL, HIGLY MOTIVATED BLACK FOLKS who have paved THEIR own money making empire such as Jay and 50 I give them props. I don't feel the need to tear one down to justify why I like the other. It's silly to me.
Ok, GuessJeans, If you say so but u just did it in the Sanaa Lathan thread. You referenced Beyonce's weave (although you did not say her name, u used that same description for Beyonce's weave before) in comparison to Sanaa Lathan's weave.
Just because you think Beyonce is a clown doesn't mean that you are not tearing her down with your comments. You tore her down to justify y you like Sanaa's weave better. To me it is the same thing.
Im not defending her before you start calling me a stan but at the same time, ok, we get it, you don't like her, lets not bring her up in a thread when it aint about her.
@ missk1203- Well actually girl I was thinking about Tyra Banks when I made that comment. I was thinking of Tyra in the thread yesterday in which she was pictured looking salty with that stringy blonde crap on her head.
You must THINK bey look like a lion stringy head because I didn't even MENTION her name in the Sanaa thread YET you're accusing me of referencing Beyonce when I was thinking of Tyra! Lol.. I actually like your comments but girl on this one pleaase.
@GuessJeans My bad then, I could've sworn you said that about Beyonce's weave on the thread the other day when they were talking about her looking flawless at the Notorius premiere, but I could be wrong.
I like your comments sometimes too but just thought I would say something about this one because we are all guilty of comparing celebs, but whatever
@ Trooper
I feel your rant, but it's not hating when you just don't like the damn shoe. The shoe is WHACK!!!! It has nothing to do with getting your grown man on, or if somebody has suits in their closet. It's a horrible rendition of what has already been done. The thing about recycling is that when it comes back it's suppose to be hotter than its predecessors.....this shoe is NOT!!!

I KNOW IT'S NOT HATING WHEN U DON'T LIKE SOMETHING. BUT IT IS WHEN U SAYING IT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HAS LED U TO DO IT. 2007 PPL KISSING KANYE ASS, BUT NOW THAT HE OPEN HIS MIND UP AND BRUNG OUT "808" NOW HIS THE WORST RAPPER OR NUT CASE. YEAH IT'S NOT HATE, IT'S BEING A FOLLOWER SAYING WHATEVER THE MEDIA LEAD U TO SAY. NOW U HAVE ALL THESE NEW RAP SONGS COMING OUT THAT'S ON THE RADIO WITH RAPPERS SINGING OUT THE LYRICS, BUT KANYE WAS WRONG???? NO HE SAW WHAT WAS NEEDED AND WHAT WAS COMING. FAR AS THE SHOES, LIKE I SAID. IF JAY OR SOMEONE WAS ROCKING THEM WITH A FRESH LINEN OUTFIT U NIGGGAZ WOULD BE ALL IN. YE COULD BE AT A STORE SHOWING THE CAMERA SOME SHOES HE PURCHASE AND YALL NIGGGAZ GOING CRAZY.
WTF MTO... yall folks be on dis dude "piece" harder than his TRUE fans and shyt... when will ppl learn that YOU CAN HATE TIL YOU BLUE IN THE FACE...DA [EXPLETIVE] WILL NEVER SEE A BROKE DAY... how many of you can say that for yourself... and how many of you have designed your own shoe? lmao @ u bumb azz lamez... holla at me yo...
instead of wasting your energy trynna put da next guy down... concentrate on YOU and appreciate dis dude and all the hard work it takes to survive in the music world...he has really done alot for hip hop... MUSIC PERIOD... im done here... u cant stop a person from being bias or ignorant, they have to want it for themselves...
ROFLMAO @ Stormzoe, B11GDREAD, and DealBreaker comments.. Damn you guys are straight up adamant about the ugliness of Kayne's shoes! I know everyone is entitled to an opinion but I don't see anything wrong with the shoe. It's on the plain and boring side but at least Kayne stepping out the box. I'm sick of those played timberlands (as TROOPER said), AirForce Ones, KSwiss and Jordans. Now these shoes are played the hell out it's 2009 and time for something different. Kayne may have a bust with this shoe, but he is a smart entrepeneur so I'm sure he'll design a better show with LV some other time.
@TROOPER- I feel your comments. I personally love Heartbreak and 808s album. It's different, eclectic with a rock/punk vibe, and definitely an "out of the box" rap album. Hey it's 2009 and the bling, cars, hoes era is getting a little redundant and overplayed. Kayne is definitely an innovator and possesses alot of creativity. For this I respect him. Can't knock a brother who brave enough to venture out the box. However, I hope he isn't an INTER for LV?! That seems silly and I'm sure MTO made that up to spark criticism about him.
PPL DON'T GET IT. IF U SMART U DON'T MAKE STUFF FOR BLACK PPL IN THE HOOD IF U WANT TO GET WEALTHY! PPL IN THE HOOD STYLE ARE FADS. U MAKE MAINSTREAM PRODUCTS AND U WILL LIVE OFF RESIDUAL INCOME EVERYTIME. HIS PASTELLE CLOTHING LINE WATCH ALL THEM FANS OF HIS BE ROCKING THAT SHIIT. I'M TALKING ABOUT THEM YOUNG SURBURBAN FANS, SKATEBOARD P TYPE FANS.
They look like mockisins, but I think that is the cool part. By making them into a tennis shoes it provides a more casual feel to a classy style shoe. It is not for thugs, but if you are a more conservative dresser....these are great! I loveeeee them, and if I were a guy...I'd buy them. They look hot!
@ stormzoe Flag post Sean John did very well in the hood. So did Tommy Hilfigger. Hell, Phat Farm, Baby Phat...the list goes on and on. Don't count out the hood dollar. We may not be able to pay rent, but we'll be rocking a Coach purse. ---------------- NO SAID COUNT OUT THE HOOD DOLLAR. READ WHAT I SAID AND UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE U COMMENT. FIELDNIGGGER SOLD HIS STUFF WORLD WIDE FOR WHITES. DIDN'T WANT BLACKS IN HIS SHIIT. UNTIL SNOOP WAS ON SNL WITH A HOCKEY JERSEY AND EVERYONE AND THEIR MAMA WANTED WHAT SNOOP HAD. THEN THEY STARTED MAKING THERE CLOTHES BIGGER. SAME GOES FOR GUESS AND SO ON. YES U CAN MAKE MONEY IN THE HOOD, BUT THEY MAKE OFF SELLING THE REAL SHIIT TO REAL BUYERS. NOT THIS CHEAP MATERIAL SHIIT THEY SEND TO THE HOOD TO SELL. SAME GOES FOR ROC, COMBS, SIMMONS AND ALL.
@trooper You know I gotta agree with u. I can def see jay walking on the beach with bey rocking these shoes, just like the vacation they just had. These pple up here looking for timbz like that shyt is so played out timbz and white t's ugh. Kanye doing his thing (if he really designed this) I can't wait for the yeezy's to come out
yuck. the wanna be's are going to buy it, the rich white boys trying to be down will buy it. so basically a bunch of cornballs are going to be walking around in those lame shoes. boat shoes/sneakers are just a hybrid that needs to be kept in his mind, it should never come to life. I dont expect those to sell very well. sorry Kanye, but it was a nice try for an "intern"-how the hell you gonna be an intern when you can buy out the whole store! lol
doesnt matter if we like it anyway because I doubt anyone on this site-myself included-can afford these shoes. theyre going to cost a grip. so unless youre a drug dealer, or you dont plan on paying rent for a couple of months, go ahead and get the shoes. in this recession that wouldnt be a good move. its only smart to buy things you can get good use out of, not some shoe that you can only wear on rare occasions. cant do that with these shoes
Sorry Kanye, now thats some bullsssshhhht, your fired!!!!!! Get the FCuk out of LV's Office!!!!!!! Stupid Fcuk, you are a rapper not a designer!!!!!! Just because you put on a pink shirt, and all the Metro Males start warring a pink shirt dont make you Fcukin qualified LV designer!!!!! Kanye, take your Love Lockdown azz to Roccaware and keep that tacky dumb sht to yourself!!!!!
