Rocawear R+ Evolution
Posted by Nick Engvall | May 7, 2009|
Style cues from a number of popular silhouettes, the R+ Evolution is all the pieces of the latest trends. You can see the influence of shoes like the RT1, Puma First Round, and more. The extra high ankle, and even higher tongue seems almost standard issue this year in the footwear industry. Does Jay-Z still have enough clout to push this new Rocawear footwear? Only time will tell. Available June 1st. Click here to check out the R+ Evolution, and let us know if you think Jay will outdo ‘Ye with these new kicks. |

That’s a negative…Big Brother got dunked on by Little Brother…
May 8, 2009 at 1:04 pm
Sorry j, stick to making music! Looks like knock off dunks to me!
May 8, 2009 at 11:38 am
Mself , i dont think Jay will out do Kanye in the “Air Yeezy” . To me , nike has a stonger effect than rocawear , which is huge .
May 8, 2009 at 10:25 am
AHHHHH…I love Jay as an artist but … the sneakers are not the move… I guess its the colors?! they are too plain!
May 8, 2009 at 10:24 am
they ard
May 8, 2009 at 9:25 am
AF1 Supra?
May 8, 2009 at 7:57 am
not sure why people are hating on these so hard… I agree, they aren’t anything special… but they look clean
May 8, 2009 at 4:11 am
jay and yeezy got the same cut and some whack ass shoes. i think the yeezys go harder. y ..jay …y??
May 8, 2009 at 12:21 am
weaksauce just like Yeezy’s latest album
May 7, 2009 at 10:59 pm
“…mah big brother was BIG’s brother…”
May 7, 2009 at 10:50 pm
whoever photoshoped that shoe needs to be fired

May 7, 2009 at 9:10 pm
herm i disagree with you on that though i think it doesnt always gotta be nike related to be a fresh joint you feel me there are some nice shoes not by nike too but it just soo seems nike kinda monopolized the shoe industry which is why sb JB kobe lebron etc yeezy all got deals with nike i think each shoe deserves its own evaluation not only by brand but overall looks and what makes them represent you and how its unique sorry if i got spelling errors i aint a good speller
May 7, 2009 at 9:06 pm
well some rappers got fashion and imagination but some rappers just got fashion jay you already got tha good life beyonce nice beats ehh it really dont matter if u got a shoe line now u still gon be rich
May 7, 2009 at 8:40 pm
How bout you guys get off Nike’s wang for once and get kicks that don’t have a swoosh on em.
May 7, 2009 at 8:23 pm
he should get kanye to design some sneaks for him
May 7, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Next Mr. Carter…smdh
May 7, 2009 at 7:26 pm
WIGGETY WACK!!! PAYLESS FORREAL #4 and #5 I DROPPED SOMETHIN IN THE TOILET THAT LOOKED BETTER THAN THOSE.
May 7, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Guess jigga cant get a deal with a real shoe company.. I’ll buy that for a dollar
May 7, 2009 at 6:11 pm
dez r okay but 0 compared 2 da yeezys c’mon folks paid 400$ 4 dat shoe u think der gonna pay 400$ 4 dez iono b but i wud weari\ dem after i get da yeezy’s
May 7, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Potential, but not so “great” as of yet.
A step up from the S. Carter, with Reebok.
May 7, 2009 at 4:42 pm
look to much like a air force one. (greedy genius like)
May 7, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Not bad if he makes them in large quantities I will buy them. Dumbass Nike should have made mass quantities of the Yezzy they would have made some mad money. Im not going to dish out 800+ for some Yezzys neither am I going to stand in line for days to get them. No shoe is worth more than 800 bucks or three days of my life.
May 7, 2009 at 4:33 pm
THESE HELLA UGLY!!!!! TELL THE TRUTH! YALL ALL JUST JAY-Z FANS THATS WHY YALL LIKE THE SHOE!!!
May 7, 2009 at 4:24 pm
dope casual shoe. doesnt look anything like yeezys. concept is a bit lazy looking tho. ppl need to RESPECT JAY. kids need to brush up on hiphop history.
May 7, 2009 at 3:46 pm
herm
May 7, 2009 at 3:19 pm
if its not a NIKE i really dont care..
hypebeast^^^^^^………..other than that i wouldn’t wear them even though I have ALL of his music on my IPOD [Jay-Z].
May 7, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Well, can’t nock him for trying. They look ok, but lets hope they take it to another level.
May 7, 2009 at 3:29 pm
weakk
May 7, 2009 at 3:19 pm
if its not a NIKE i really dont care..
May 7, 2009 at 3:12 pm
i hate em they soo weak…
May 7, 2009 at 3:07 pm
g-units all day
May 7, 2009 at 3:06 pm
looks like sumthn jb would put out, a yeezy wit a af1 sole
but seriously, im tired of all these sneaks trying to hard to popular now and only now, the tongue thing is a fad n will be done by next summer, the dunk was the 1st 1 to be rocked wit the tongue out, then the skytop, now ther trying to hard, wit this the yeezy and TK
just stop
May 7, 2009 at 2:40 pm
ya i saw these in a SLAM magazine add a while back they r allright i guess but they cant touch the Yeezy’s
May 7, 2009 at 2:28 pm
im really gettin sick of these super duper high top sneakers i wish people could start makin nice mids again people saw how well supras sold and an with it. a mid to this shoe would be fire.
May 7, 2009 at 2:21 pm
TERRIBLE. Jay-Z needs to get back to the Reasonable Doubt days
May 7, 2009 at 2:19 pm
saw these in a magazine before….
these are actually decent!
May 7, 2009 at 1:45 pm
They UGLY but still look better than the YEEZY. Both shoes look like a hybrid Supra or skateshoe. And dont forget JAY actually started his shoe game way way way before Kanye with the other horrible shoe…. S. Carter. Just read the Bkboy post….. good point.
May 7, 2009 at 1:42 pm
If you guys think this shoe won’t sell you are crazy. The opinions of the sneakerhead community only count for a small % of the population. There are still plenty of people (non-sneakerheads) who will love these. Roc-a-wear still makes over 300 million per year no matter if you guys guy it or not. These will make money.
May 7, 2009 at 1:25 pm
These look like Creative Recs. Mr. Carter, you disappoint me. And get a haircut.
May 7, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Ehh,they alright looking but like some people said nothing like the S.Carter’s??
May 7, 2009 at 12:47 pm
there only 49.99 at Macys!! im coppin!
May 7, 2009 at 12:28 pm
we don’t believe you…you need more people….
May 7, 2009 at 12:26 pm
If you got these you dont know about tha GAME
May 7, 2009 at 11:58 am
weak just like jigga himself… F**K ILLIUMINATI!!!!
May 7, 2009 at 11:57 am
Wactacular….he dont even wear Roca…
May 7, 2009 at 11:49 am
they don’t really have anything to set them apart from the other hightop sneakers that are out. not even premium material or a crazy color to accent the rest of the cw. plus, i don’t know anyone that wears rocawear anything and neither do i… and clearly branding means a lot to a lot of people that are out coppin kicks. myself included.
May 7, 2009 at 11:44 am
i like em
May 7, 2009 at 11:23 am
Like the guy off Next Friday said: “Try again muthafuka” LOL
May 7, 2009 at 10:52 am
LMAO these are terrible Jay could keep these to himself, nice try but these are garbage lol………………
May 7, 2009 at 10:51 am
Something we all seen before..nothing original
May 7, 2009 at 10:48 am
lol……i agree wit all negative comments…….and jay…….cut ya hair b
May 7, 2009 at 10:48 am
LOL… U CANT KNOCK FOR TRYIN.. TRYIN 2 BE LIKE KANYE..LOL
May 7, 2009 at 10:44 am
HE could have done better than that after what yeezy has done Nike he gone have to come correct. these gone end up costing $30.00 just like the S Dots
May 7, 2009 at 10:42 am
Better than yeezys, but that’s not saying much.
May 7, 2009 at 10:41 am
S. Carter, you must try harder.
May 7, 2009 at 10:41 am
Actually they’re not too bad. Though, I think they could have done just a bit more as it does come off as very generic. I’m not sure they sell in this casually over saturated market . I also wonder if anyone even really wears ‘Rocawear’ nowadays?
May 7, 2009 at 10:41 am
Add a srtap and then make the shoe pink and black it is the YEEZYS!!!
May 7, 2009 at 10:38 am
THey look like those bogus Nikes that dropped right before the Air Yeezys….I like these better…lets see if I can get into 40/40 with these on! BOUNCERS SUCK!
May 7, 2009 at 10:34 am
i dont think those will sale.
