Jay-Z was spotted out in London before heading to his wife Beyonce’s album release party.
He wore his favorite Persol sunglasses, with a Balmain military cotton shirt ($975), G-Star Rovic surfer camo shorts ($130), and a pair of Adidas Originals Superstar 2.0 sneakers ($65).
He kept simple, yet fresh.
At the 2011 BET Awards you may have noticed rapper Lil’ Wayne jumping around in a pair of Jeremy Scott x Adidas JS Bones sneakers.
Those kicks are from the designers Fall 2011 collection and cost $200.
Just like everything Jeremy Scott designs, these will definitely draw plenty of attention and will be sure to turn plenty of heads.
From the white base color, to the turquoise, the cheetah print “trimming” and purple sole — I’m not much of a “sneaker” kind of girl, but I’d cop a pair of these ASAP.
What you think? Are these worth buying?
EK1 Wear Test.
Eric Kostons first signature Nike SB shoe, the EK1, is proposed to be revolutionary in the world of skate sneakers. Nike’s innovation combined with Eric Koston’s inspiration from his “Sneaker Garage” featured before, leads this skate sneaker to be combined with Nike running shoe elements(like Lunarlon sock liners).
Check out The Berric’s footage of the EK1 Skate test by Nike SB riders, photographers, filmers, and many more, and let us know if you think this is a change to the skate world.
Nike SB and Eric Koston go together like Lamb and Tuna Fish(Big Daddy reference).
This video is of Eric Koston in his “Sneaker garage”, talking about the different sneakers he has stacked and boxed up. From a freshly boxed pair of his first Signature shoe(which he drew every inch of by the way), to one half of a pair of wrinkled, yellowing Columbia 11’s, Koston displays that the love he has for sneakers is a bit more than most can fathom.
Check out Part one of “Footnotes”, a feature on Koston’s skate site The Berrics, and let us know what featured sneaker was your favorite.
P.S. - Jordan fans..If you don’t watch the entire thing just skip to 5:15.
R&B Usher performed at the Staples Center in Los Angeles wearing an all black outfit with a pair of matching Android Homme Propulsion 2 High-top Sneakers on his feet.
These kicks run for $190 feature a black leather upper with a suede tongue, and a patent leather back.
Those sneakers definitely completed his “combat” attire. Don’t you think?
