Feb 17, 2016 Word I guess I was wrong, but it feels like every time I step on campus, every kid is dressing like Kanye used to 3-4 years ago. That, and the fact that his shoes are everywhere. This infographic is not scientifically telling of anything but it gives you an idea I guess: And we haven't even talked about the music yet, his artistic risks have seemed to change what aspiring rappers try to sound like every 3 years. Future is probably that guy for this new up and coming class, but Kanye has been that guy for like 10 years now. @captain awesome But yeah, he's no Tupac, no arguments there.
Feb 17, 2016 also @captain awesome, I specifically wrote "2016" in to my posted with the Picasso vs Kanye statement for very reasons you brought up
Feb 17, 2016 to be honest everyone likes what they can't afford and a lot of people can't afford yeezys
Feb 17, 2016 I've been in the sneaker game for about half a decade now, and I've bought most of my collection off of eBay. I'm retired now, but the Yeezys are unprecedented and have changed sneaker culture forever. The reason they're so expensive is because they're so in demand, their supply can't be any less than some of the hyped Jordans I own (such as the Bred 1s, which I bought because Kanye wore them lol). I dropped $300 on one pair, and $400 on my second (of the same shoe). The Yeezys are anywhere from 1500 to 8000, and the f----- up part is that people will actually purchase them for those prices. Not me, not ever. But a lot of people will, and for no reason other than the fact that it's Kanye's shoes. If we're real, the original 750s are one of the most terrible looking high tops of all time. I still tried to cop them when they dropped though. Why? Kanye West.
Feb 17, 2016 last time i checked i think they were selling for like 1500 or whatever it was. crazy for some shoes.
Feb 17, 2016 yeah but kanye never brought fedoras back in style so i think future's already got a leg up on him TBH
Feb 17, 2016 I bought a pair of Yeezys for when I do my shakeweight workouts. Really gives me stability while being unstable at the same time
Feb 17, 2016 bro aint no one wearing fedoras in my city yet lol. and they won't, u actually gotta be cool to pull them off or else u look like this:
Feb 17, 2016 What a load of s---. Unprecedented? Lol. Yeah they're popular and well marketed but everything else you said is bs.
Feb 17, 2016 tbh i was just feeling insecure w all the shoe talk becuase im still wearing pairs of new balances ive had since like 11th grade so i wanted to change the topic ill bow out again
