    What kind of jeans does he have on in the pic on the right???

    No shit Nicolas, is that how it works?
    One hand washes the other my friend. Kanye is using them every bit as much for myriad reasons ranging from credibility in the market place to design & production knowledge. It’s what makes the world go round.

    this man is just a puppet for the fashion brands especially for the japanese market who look at him as someone who can open the market internationally.

    they’re just white sneakers…

    We have a name for folks like Kanye in DC we call them Getwits. I mean “C’mon” you have your own brand to get off of the ground, lay off of the Calabos.

    I the Guys Who Were Filming are retards and should shut up, stop with with all that you fiends, thats why he’s arrogant coz of gay ass press, the shoes are lame cant see shit in the video and that guy sounds gay in the video, chill out fiends!!

    Best thing ever. Thanks for that post.

    Just… WOW! did you people not watch that video. I’ve never heard such an ass kissing, sad bastard in my life. I mean, seriously does this guy actually want to have sex with Kanye or something because all he did was kiss his ass.

    What I wanted to see was him show them the shoes and the guy to say.. “Meh, pretty shit”.

    let me be the first to say . . .
    anybody who rolls through types that these are fucking “dope” kicks is LIAR
    cos you can barely see any sort of detail on the shoe.

    co-sign…..but what’s funny my dude is if you hadn’t said that it would’ve been posted about 20 times minimum

    Ye is crazy, im sure the kicks are gonna be amazing, but really, I cant wait until pastelle launches.
    and, his scarf in the video is ridiculous!
    …so is his ride

    Not enough detail for me to judge anything. Hurm.. most likely won’t be able to afford.

    Yeah I dunno if I’m feelin these. Kanye could definitely put out something other than just a pair of all white kicks.
