like WTH he’s making money and doing his thing let it rock
Damn its soo annoying 4 real
once again those Radii 420s on Jay Z are sick
and not just because he’s wearing them

Sep 21, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Wale said he doesnt like the 3s so why is he wearing them?
Sep 21, 2009 at 9:16 am
I don’t really like anyones style in this but if I had to pick, Wale gets the crown.
Cudi got the freshest kicks
Sep 21, 2009 at 9:10 am

Sep 20, 2009 at 10:07 am
I wish I could see how some of u lames dress on here because i know most of yall are wack because kid cudi look dumb as hell with them small jeans on. Wale has that big ass head with the small ass hat, and aint it still the summer why the blazer and a flannel yall new york cats cant dress I guess yall dress like them wack jerking cats. skinny jeans and polos get ou of here lames.

Sep 20, 2009 at 2:14 am

Sep 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm
cudi has the best shoes but wale has tthe best outfit cudi looks like wierdO in that blazer. jay needs to stop wearing baggy ass jeans. And i thought he “off that” tims u Fu’kin liar , just like the black 4 years strait. ever since the louie dons kanye’s been wearing shoes that cost like 2 grand and buying jordans to play ball in. lost respect for him since the VMA incident
Sep 17, 2009 at 3:05 pm
damnn jays jeanss aree baggy….he need 2 rock em a lil more decently…….wale’s fit was not constructed well……cudi def takes it for best fit…..nd ye’s aquas take best kicks.
Sep 17, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Ok da Radii’s r allesandro dels knock-offs , but dey r so much better mos def, and ctaz plez giving pepz an automatic win wen dey have on jordans and Jay killed it wit da 420 tops or Radii
Sep 17, 2009 at 1:35 pm
how can u catz not no about radii 420 top i mean itz a def cop 4 me not cuz jay has dem cuz i wanted dem since mardi gras or february and dey r awsome. U catz lookin at Jordans and give dem a automatic win which is stupid 2 me Jay-z and Radii 420 topz r a winner in my book.
Sep 17, 2009 at 11:24 am
i think so too. jay will wear ANYTHING he see Ye wit…..WALE and CUDI…….DMV allday…..MAN ON THE MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sep 17, 2009 at 11:21 am
wale prolly just said that just to say it. how could you not wear three’s? No harm my nigg you still fresh.
Sep 17, 2009 at 11:08 am
Those SB Trainers is at the Nike outlets for dirt cheap right now.
Sep 17, 2009 at 10:57 am
I’m pretty sure Wale was joking with the “I don’t wear 3’s” comment…and even if he wasn’t, he could’ve just changed his mind
Sep 17, 2009 at 10:55 am
WALE …..D.C. STAND UP
Sep 17, 2009 at 8:51 am
Jay in tims? I thought we was off that?
-Juan P, good looks on that I had no idea what Jay rockin, Imaa have to see what else Alessadro got
Kanye and his manager rockin the same sneakers…thats real freakin cute!
If Puff was in like some Big Gulps or Heavens Gates or something i would respect his SB game, looked fresh with the jacket tho lol
Cudi needs a couple more sizes larger on them denims…(and they’d still tight)
Sep 17, 2009 at 8:37 am
“Cool Money
Sep 16, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Hov was chilling; cool look for the big homie. The others who made a comment on this topic are stupied, just like Wale and kid Cudi was looking. The tight jeans look is stuiped, and wearing a Gucci Hat that dosent go with your outfit at all, and to have Jordan with it. WTF was he trying to do here?”
^ You probably one of them dudes that’ll rock a gucci outfit head to toe and think you got style… lol. A piece like that gucci hat is supposed to stand out!
Sep 17, 2009 at 8:20 am
damn I forgot the guy behind cudi….he’s right after wale…he has the white cement 3’s
Sep 17, 2009 at 8:19 am
lmfao SMH @ wale being one of my fav rappers cuz he def did say he doesn’t mess wit 3’s lolz….but im going to say this is a hard one for numba 1 but heres my list
kudi-4’s nice clean outfit
wale-3’s he wud’ve got first if he wuzn’t just talkin about how he doesn’t wear 3’s anymore lolz
kanye’s friend- he rock’d da 8’s better
Jayz-In pic wit puffy…i can’t see them like that but they look kool lolz
Puffy-rocked em pretty well
kanye- just because its the best shoes out of wats left
Jayz-alone because they are tims and this is a sneakerwebsite lmfao…nah I just cud never get wit tims lyk that even when they were in style
Sep 17, 2009 at 7:38 am
I thought Wale didn’t mess wit three’s?
Sep 17, 2009 at 7:30 am
HOV looks like something from brokeback mountain with that pose and tims and gay leather vest lol radiis big no no never liked jays sense of fashion needs to fire the wardrobe person…cudi killed it pants are tight but thats personal preference….diddy finally wearin something thats not all black??? i can dig the shoes but the sweater is gay……kanye never gets old with him rocking the aqua but can he ball with all the pics of him leavin with him on….. in defense of wale from sneaker standpoint herocks more than jordans and the proof isin his top 5 list he did but hands down id say wale got em this time
Sep 17, 2009 at 6:17 am
Ye is always wears VIII’s maybe its good
Sep 17, 2009 at 2:57 am
wale fly dude.
Sep 17, 2009 at 2:00 am
my son wale is fly
Sep 16, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Wale said he dont like III’s (liar). Kid Cudi stays in IV’s(my second to best J’s next to the Infa VI’s). J is starting to dress like Ye! Puff has on a killer onsombo, and It look like Kanye and the dude with the Bape shirt are holding hands LOL
Sep 16, 2009 at 10:08 pm

Sep 16, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Poor Kanye, What a total d*uche.
Sep 16, 2009 at 9:23 pm

Sep 16, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Gotta love the Homie in Kanye’s entourage who wears an 80 dollar bape shirt to the gym.
Sep 16, 2009 at 7:07 pm
CUdi
Sep 16, 2009 at 7:02 pm
nahh im not hating on the aquas Jsnacks
believe u me i luv the aqua 8s my favorite jordan of all time
but im saying the way Ye is wearin em is gettin old
the last few pix he had on with the 8s have been just like this one
he used 2 dress em up fly
nd now the way he rocks em is 4 either basketball or relaxin
Sep 16, 2009 at 6:24 pm
i’m not impressed and don’t see what the big deal is. kanye, wale, and cudi always rock jordans. all those jays are everywhere. see people rock them all the time.
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Yeah I know Kanye wears the aquas a lot, but I never get tired of seeing him wearing my favorite shoe
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:52 pm
diiddy was aiight
kanye nhaaa but tha guy he is with did pretty good babymilo lmao it was tha shortss hha
wale was fire but didnt really like tha hat imo oc
ehh cudi nvr liked him sorry no hate though
jayz what can you say no matter what u say hes got his own game
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:44 pm
wow
a pretty sweet update
first off Wale is always fresh
but i think its interesting how he pulled those cement 3s
not a big fan of them but still nice nd im luving the Gucci cap =D
Kid Cudi is definitely stepping it up
i luv the bred 4s so thats also a plus
i like how he dressed it up but still kept his individuality within the outfit
Jay-Z Black Timbs….enough said lol
Kanye in those aqua 8s…im tired of seeing him in them
all he does with em now is wear them for chillin and playing basketball
now Diddy definitely suprised me here with those SB Trainers
hes the first person ive ever seen with em nd yet he pulled em off gr8
now ive never heard of Radiis 2 be honest
but i just checked em out and i definitely think they are sick
soo thats another plus for Jay Z
overall really good update!
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:40 pm
IS KANYE ON CRACK? he look smaller and smaller on every pic…lol
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Why does Kudi always were those 4s and Kanye always were those 8s?
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:34 pm
JD, my thoughts exactly. I guess he’s still “On That”
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Ah wales did with the aj3. Tired off seeing cudi with them 4s. Hov is just hov, and yeezy with them aquas stop man
Sep 16, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Sep 16, 2009 at 4:29 pm

Sep 16, 2009 at 4:23 pm

Sep 16, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Sep 16, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Hov was chilling; cool look for the big homie. The others who made a comment on this topic are stupied, just like Wale and kid Cudi was looking. The tight jeans look is stuiped, and wearing a Gucci Hat that dosent go with your outfit at all, and to have Jordan with it. WTF was he trying to do here?

Sep 16, 2009 at 4:03 pm
FIRST…..jay looked mad gay at the vma’s Kudi and Wale killing those J’s.. Tired of seing Kanye in them Aquas…
Sep 16, 2009 at 4:00 pm
Didn’t he diss Timberlands in one of his songs.. ?
This cements the fact that Jay will wear almost anything he sees Kanye wear..
Sep 16, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Guess Jay Will wear whatever people pay him to wear because RADii is a Damn awful shoe. He needs a stylist. But Wale killed it
