Bun B x Greedy Genius
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 21, 2008 Bun B of UGK earned his crown in the Southern hip hop game, but his love and respect for the underground stretches far beyond music. Bun has taken part in local events for underground film and art, but recently has also shown a lot of love to the underground brands of streetwear and sneakers. He has performed live at Alife, given shouts to The Hundreds and Grey One in his lyrics, and now he has worked with Greedy Genius on a sneaker collaboration.
From this sneak peak your eyes have probably locked on to the black and gun metal patent leather on the classic Cool Breeze silhouette. We were given this exclusive shot to share with all of you, but more photos and info will be posted shortly about this collaborative project. Also, keep your eyes out for some more collaborations that Bun B has been working on with streetwear greats listed prior. |

I am liking what I am seeing! Its been a minute since I have heard anything about Greedy Genius, but this is well worth the wait.
This is one classy looking pair of kicks.
Aug 21, 2008 at 6:26 am
dare I say the best Greedy Genius shoe yet? I know the “candy” paint was Bun’s idea. I just know that for a fact!
Aug 21, 2008 at 7:06 am
Definitely. The Cool Breeze is the best Greedy Genius shoe ever created.

^^^ Have to agree with previous posts…I thought of Greedy Genius as just another bandwagon AF1 rip-off shoe initially but the Cool Breeze actually made me consider copping a pair (notice I said “consider”…still haven’t copped).

I must be blind I don’t see anything that’s worth going crazy for. Y’all need to calm down these shoes are UGLY!
Aug 21, 2008 at 9:07 am
Really love what i’m seeing. Bun B be representing with the hottest brands in the game !! I’m COPPING !!!!

I need more detailed pic’s of the shoe before passing any judgement. I will say that it seems that Greedy Genius has lost some of their buzz since that car commercial but hopefully this will help the brand.

PRIMETYME305 - These are “ugly,” yet I bet you have plenty of “Fusions” to boast & brag about, huh?
I don’t see where anyone is “going crazy” quite honestly. We’re not just talking about the shoes in the above photo (which are nice), but ALL of the Cool Breeze kicks created so far.
Do your research and you’ll see what we mean… but some folk can’t be saved. I rather you drown in the sea garbage being sold right now.

these ain’t all that take it easy people nice nothing to do a flip over but nice

Sweet!
Aug 21, 2008 at 1:25 pm
abelino, if anything, yourself and PRIMETYME305 are the ones that need to calm down. You two are more overly hyped at our comments than anything and they’re nothing outside of the norm.
You’re an embicile!
We aren’t just commenting on the kicks Bun B have on, but the Cool Breeze line as a whole. What part of that don’t you idiots understand?

I don’t know what’s more of a headache: these retard members or the word press error!

Darneezy ……….. you are right. This line of Greedy Genius deserves madd respect. Just let the imbeciles be.
Dare I say that Bun B gets the MOST respect in the sneaker game than all the other celebrities/hip-hop artists. I know he does from me. Not Bow Wow, not Fat Joe, not Nelly, not Jermaine Dupri, not etc …… etc …..
Does anyone remember the video of Bun B tossing a pair of autographed Cement Spiz’ikes, 2 months before their release date, into a crowd at a sneaker show he was performing at? Man, that dude has earned his stripes! While I dont necessarily dig his music, I love what he stands for.

I’m Not really feelin em..
But to each his own..
Aug 21, 2008 at 2:48 pm
i love the cool breezes, real nice shoe theyre kinda like a boot when when youre wearin them but they have that shoe sole. these are a real classy and smooth pair, i need em
Aug 21, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Its actualy a major disappointment… BUN B loves his J’s and then 2 see him rockin sill kicks like these….
Aug 21, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Don’t not what the major fuss is all about, i think the whole cool breeze line itself is great. Definitely love the black / gun metal combination. Bun B is a sneaker head, he rock all hot shoes.
Aug 21, 2008 at 4:59 pm

Aug 21, 2008 at 5:52 pm

Aug 21, 2008 at 11:34 pm
man i dont know how u can even say bun b is killin fat joe, or have more respect for his shoe game? fat joe has over 5000 pairs of shoes, not only does he have quantity but the quality as well.
Aug 21, 2008 at 11:37 pm
by the way i still have a ton of respect for bun-b and his shoe game. what he did wit those spiz’ikes was ill. but im just sayin fat joe deserves the title
Aug 22, 2008 at 10:23 am
I wouldn’t say Bun is killin fat joe, i’d say Bun is more diverse. Bun is on top of his shoe game, that’s for sure, but Bun also be messin with the underground film and art underground brands and sneakers !!
Aug 22, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Agree, Bun B is more diverse.
These Greedy Genius shoes are hot. Greedy Genius be getting a lot of buzz, i see rappers jumping on their exclusives. I feel the brand.. they on top of the game
Sep 8, 2008 at 11:02 pm
All the cool breeze is, is a knock off of the supra Sky top and the Greedy Genius Apache copies the jordan 5 exactly. biters
Sep 12, 2008 at 8:24 pm
