Kanye West at the Grammys

Kanye West at the Grammys

It is rare for us to highlight what hip hop artists are wearing but what Kanye West wore at the Grammys is too hard to pass on. In the performance where Kanye sang two songs including “Stronger” and “Hey mama”, he was seen wearing some really dope LED shutter shades, some light up jacket by Willo Perron and a pair of shoes that even we can’t identify. If anyone knows what he he was wearing, please send us an email and we’ll update this post. You can watch the performance here. Update: Thanks for everyone’s email about Kanye’s shoes. We’re pretty sure they’re not Ato Matsumoto boots as the Ato’s have two straps. Some say they’re a new collaboration between Kanye and Nike but don’t quote us on this. We’ll just have to wait and see.
