• Kanye West’s Air Yeezys Fly Into Stores On Saturday, Fat Joe’s Sneaker Line On The Way

    Thursday Apr 2 9:38 AM CDT posted by xxl staff

    Kanye West and Fat Joe are entering the sneaker game with upcoming exclusive releases. West’s highly anticipated Air Yeezys will be first to hit stores, with the first of three colorways—Zen Grey— available on Saturday (April 4).

    Sure to have sneaker heads lining up for hours, West’s kicks are limited to select retailers, including all Foot Locker House of Hoops locations, and are rumored to carry a price tag of $215. A black colorway of the shoe will be on sale starting May 2 and a third colorway will follow in June.

    Catering to a vastly different market, Joe’s “Recession” shoes will only run $35 and be made available at Sears and Kmart stores only, according to sneakerfiles.com. Though no release date is confirmed for the sneakers, Joe’s ninth studio album, J.O.S.E. 2, ships on May 19. - Devin Chanda

    I think they are decent, but, I’m wouldn’t pay $215 for those kicks. I only rock Nike Dunks, anyways. Also, like Giant said..I’m 23..I’m a grown man, I can think of more important things I can do with my money. I know most niggas will cop just stay they got it. The typical nigga mentality.

    $215 no thanks, bet they aren’t even court tested(he don’t play ball he probably just thought they were cute). Give me my J’s, Dunks, and yes I still got AF1’s, bottom line I deal with proven products and in a few months the price is gonna drop anyway, so what’s the point of coppin something on the first day, I learned my lesson with throwbacks and the first Xbox.

    Whoever does cop, beware…

    Judging by Ye’s fasion sense, they probably run a size or two smaller than you actually wear.

    Yeast infection AND athlete’s foot. Shame on you Kanye West.

    I think they are nice kicks but the whole idea is sorta stupid. i mean yes kicks are not about sports stars anymore but the only reason to get them is if you like them. they have no cache. they dont mean shit. not that others do but as a sneaker head, there is no story behind them, no logic, just him and his ego and im not spending 200 oh kanyes ego just for it to get more crazy. i respect him and i think he will sell a shit load of these sneaks, but that doesnt make it right. lolol. the real issue is are they good for anything. Can you actually Ball in a pair of Yeezys? if ballers start wearing them, then hes set cause there is some young NBA nigga who love him some kanye and im sure he will find a way to lock someone down with an endorsement. well that would be smart…………..
