I'm wrestling with the Air Yeezy concept!
















Now truth be told, I absolutely LOVE sneakers. If I was rich, I'd be broke, cuz sneakers are serious business. The Air Yeezy's along with sneaks designed for LV have definitely captured my attention. I mean how could they not, it's been posted everywhere to Kanye's fans and his ever so great marketing and press pushes. So what's a woman to do? Spend $215 for a pair of sneaks, because everyone else has them? Or hope that a different color concept comes out, because that's where my issues lie. Granted it looks dope. I think the structure of the sneaker is classic with some modern touches. But the color is throwing me off. Anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely love a colorful sneak. So when these Yeezy's "stepped" on the scene, I was hoping for some real exclusive color schemes. I love Kanye, but the tan colorway looks like a band-aid. I want to sit down with Kanye and talk about this. I love how butch queen he is, but this is not working for me. Maybe after all the hype about this sneak dies down, I'll cop a pair and have them airbrushed. Argh! Sneaker hype. What happened to exclusivity? Anyway, congratulations Kanye on handling your bizness! Keep killing em'
You can cop a pair if the camp out is not too crazy at Ubiq in Philly.

This section courtesy of all smiles:
They are finally here, well almost here. Kayne West's highly anticipated sneak the Nike Air Yeezy's, finally has a release date. This April the Zen Grey/LT Charcoal (middle sneak), should be blessing sneaker boutiques, which should bring a lot of tents camped out UBIQ that weekend. Maybe I'll try to snap some flicks. Regardless keep an eye out for these bad boys.
