These are the new Jordans for 09. No seriously ones are out Kanye is in

Those are the ugliest sneakers ive ever seen. i would wear k-mart sneakers b4 i wear these. how much of the profit goes back to the community?

Fools and their money. At least Jordans used to make you feel you can ball harder.

its iigh…i like tha color on #4 but i think it cud b betta

FORCES ARE STILL IN!!!! I’M NOT SPENDING THAT MUCH ON SHOES!!!! UNLESS MY PARENTS GET IT EM….HMMMM

Never would I spend $700 on a pair of shoes in this lifetime. I don’t want or plan to be rich and I can’t imagine throwing away that sort of money on something I’m just gonna scuff eventually. I’m pissed when I do that to shoes I’ve spent $10 much less $700. Since I’m on the subject I can’t imagine spending $700 on any single item of clothing, lol. I’m not seeing what makes them so hot either. The tassels look pretty odd and a bit suspect…what man wants tassels on his sneakers? Tassels look dumb on loafers, much less sneakers. And they could pose a tripping hazard I’d assume.

Okay….so I’m guessing here that with that hot pink sole and gold rimmed tassels–that these a girl/women sneakers and not made for men? I’d hate to see some man walking around in some hot pink soled, sneaks. I really would…lol!

#4 is cute…

700 bucks for sneakers? kanye must really need some money, damn. i love the man but tthis is really gettin crazy.

KANYE KNOWS THAT HE’S THE S**T…EVEN MORE…LOL..DO YOUR THING BIG HOMIE!

You can get that same (without the name) look at PayLess for about $12. Shame on Kanye :-)

them shoes is wats up but when i ever get that kanye money im gone get me a pair until then im stickin with my j’s

dam for 700 dollas i can buy 20 pair of sneakers,,,

wow i gotta right that out SEVEN HUNNERT DOLLAS….one suggestion KW write that on the sides so people will know they cost SEVEN HUNNERT DOLLAS

they ugly. who paying $700 for them? show me something worth it and i’ll pay it

I refuse to spend $700 on shoes, unless I’m rolling in paper. I’ll stick to my Js for now.

i wonna know what makes these shoes $700? is the laces gold?

KW. M jordan dog walkin u in money, why can black people afford his shoes???

Thows shose are soo ugly I would not buy’em if they were free.

Hell no..I’d rather put my money into my savings account then to spend $700 on some shoes and make this dude richer..once again hell no!

I wanted to purchase a pair but they are to expensive, I’ll stick with my Coach!!! You are right Kanye doesn’t care about Blacks with those prices!!!!!!

I CAN SEE WHY YALL WOULD BE MAD ABOUT NOT ABLE TO BUY EM….BUT HEY HE COLLABERATED WIT *LOUIS VUTTON* SO THATS AN AUTOMATIC $500 RITE THERE PLUS HIS NAME THATS $200….YEAH THATS ABOUT RITE…BUT YALL KNOW IF IT WAS A COLLABO WIT NIKE, REEBOK OR CONVERSE WE COULD AFFORD EM….LOL

Lets be reasonable…the UK got some wild and in my opinion stupid fashions. they will pay 700dollas for some ugly kicks…but we pay over 300dollas for some Js…so we are just as dumb..but i wont buy either.

I’d rather save that money or spend it on my bills but I do like the 1st and 4th pair.

hell naw 700$ too much for them ugly as shoes he must be trippin the only shows i would pay up to 700$ for would probaly be some jordans for my son

I Jus ordered mine overseas already the red and the purple joints will be here next week

Perhaps those are catered to a certain demographic.

Those shoes look like a cross between Those cheep reeboks and my grandmas orthopedic shoes Haha!

they’re nice but not worth $700 dollards… i’ve seen j’s that look way better!

shyt…for 7 dollars them shoes betta kum with his broad and a guarantee..

lol glad i wasnt the only one who thought they look like a better version of reeboks lol

they are ugly i woulnt pay 65.00 for that ugly s**t he need to get a life!

I’m sorry,but I would never pay $700 for these ugly ass shoes. I will stick with Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

yea the f**k right..lol. wth this dude smokin..? I dont care for louie no way.. & yup..look like sum women’s style reeboks, with a hint of back in the day michael jordan game style.. lol.

There is no way in hell I would pay $700 for them ugly ass shoes. I will stick with Louis Vuitton and Gucci

Who would by those ugly f**kers , when u could get pair of Lb’s

only broke ass niggas contemplating on buying sum $700 shoes!! we are the poorest yet we endulge the most, lord help us…

I’d like to know the fool that put up he don’t care about black people then you see $700 shoes. Maybe if people stop b***hin they could afford the lifestyle he has. He aint obligated to sell $2 shoes.

first of all wtf does that have to do wit no likeing black people.i aint gone hate , the material on the shoes looks real an good , but the damn shoe is ugly. ill spend 700 on sum texas tea b4 i get them gogo-gadget,beam me up scottie lookin s**tz H-townnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

that dude smokeing rocks aint no way in hell them shoe ugly as s**t the red pair was hot tho

Um, exactly what did the headline have to do with the shoe?

i’m straight

LOL some more foolishness..I cant wait 2 see who buys these so I can clown their ass! IF you buy these shoes you are out 700 dollars and look stupid…

what does this crap have to do with him disliking black people? just because he puts out a $700 shoe, he dislikes black people? was this a strategy to get us to read the crappy article? you guys have to do better than that. I guess now that the michael jackson story is kind of dying down, you don’t have much material to report, lol.

only a FOOL would spend $700 on a pair of sneakers…

negros got their priorities all phucked up…

yeah, i can understand the title of the story…

He needs to take the money he makes from these and sponsor a youth football league or somethin thats why i respect jay he’s one of the richest black men in america and never even wears jewlry jay still rockin regular shell toes pride comes before a fall kanye!!!

ok yea dey ugly but duh dey cost $700 cuz its fukn louis vuitton and yea there r ppl (blk included) that wil spend $700 on sum sneaks, blk folks flock 2 da store 2 spend $150 on js evn if dey really cant afford em!

“A fool and his money shall soon part”

The shoes are ugly to me, but, I could see Keri hilson or lenny kravitz wearing them. Not my style, but, hey for the eccentric do your thing.

wut dey mean u morons is that any blk man dat grew up poor or middle class like kanye, shud kno how hard it iz 4 singl moms 2 buy thoz kinds of clothes wit thoz kind of price tags! its irresponsible an not really tryn 2 sel 2 his (blk) ppl cuz how many blks can afford dat kind of muny!?

THOSE SHOES ARE HELLA CLEAN ESPECIALLY THE PINK N WHITE AND THE ALL BLACK!!! BUT…. $700 IS JUS RIDICULOUS!!! I LOVE DEREON, BABY PHAT, PASTRIES. THOSE LV SHOES AREN’T FOR THE URBAN COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY WOULDN’T BE THAT EXPENSIVE. EVEN COACH WOULDN’T SELL THEM FOR THAT AMOUNT!! SO WHY WOULD THEY MARKET THIS SHOE ON HERE?!?

i like them, but they look like ladies’ shoes to me. But i wouldn’t spend $700, we in a recession lol.

Kanye doesnt care about heterosexual people. No straight man should ever be seen wearing and/or buying tennis shoes with tassels on the shoestrings.

them kicks is nice, but DAM, $700?? is u f’in’ serious?? man u gots to b out yo’ mind to even think about buying that. and yet people would break their bank just to get these. just like how we use to do (and still do) with getting $250-$300 jordans. that’s no surprise

i wouldnt say he dosent care about black folks, the man on his hustle. hell if u cant afford them, dont get them. wake up !!!!

If the sneakers $700, then they $700. the sneakers are obviously not gear towards people who has a regular j.o.b. it’s gear towards the people thats making $10000 a month or more. Beleive it or not, people out there is making this kind of money and will buy the new LV. if you trying to make money like the rich, visit yourfinancialblessing.com and subscribe to my newsletter.

That’s two months of my rent. I’m straight.

They look like girl shoes

Im gonna have to pass on them dem s**ts is ugly as hell

I like Kanye but them shoes are ugly. You never see me wearing them. They do look like female shoes. I can see why they said he dosen’t care about black folks. Because he thinks black folks wouldn’t wear them.

$700!!! this nigga is crazy no way in hell I would pay $700 for shoe as ugly as those even if i had a 100 g’s just to burn.

if i bought them i’d care, they’re ugly anyway & surely not worth the price

Somebody will buy them; but it won’t be me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The BLACK ones should have been the best looking ones.

THE SHOES R TIGHT, I LIKE THE PINK ONES. AND THE REASON THERE 700 IS BECAUSE THERE LOUIS VUITTON…DUH!!!

Excuse me, this is a bargain, if you consider most Louis Vuitton items are $1800. You are definitely paying for the LV and Kanye’s mark as well. I wont buy them, because I dont wear sneakers but the reality is Louis Vuitton makes high quality items that have a price to match.

watch somebody get killed for a pair of those ugly muhfukkaz.and believe me, they are ugly.

For LV price standards, they’re affordable but for overall sneakers price range 700 is out of this world. Even his Nike Air Yeezy were expensive for Nike standard prices. Jordan sneraker are not as expensive as the Yeezy’s and they’ve been around for 20 years. I would hope that the price would go down a bit but I’d be surprised if it happened.

you would have to be a fool to buy something so ugly as a gym shoe when ur dumb ass know you cant afford it.most of the dummies who get it either dont have jobs and are slinging s**t on the street or they’re going to steal them,most times off another stupid f**ks feet.

wow bye far the ugliest sneaker ever made takes a dum n****r like kanye to make something like this…and the only people byin them are dum n****rs on his dick…..call me racist wat ever but its the truth and f**k black planet i dont even bang wit this s**t…

I have a problem with the headline of this article. ‘Kanye west doesnt care about black people’? Set beside the fact that the item is ugly as fuk, what makes the auther of this blog think that black people wouldnt be able to afford 700 dollar sneakers? what does being black have to do with the product and its cost?

we will buy ANYTHING, but we OWN NOTHING…….

niggas gullible as s**t lol

$700 for some sneakers as if he made them by hand or something hahahaha

i like some of Kanye’s music but alot of these rappers and entertainers aint that bright…..this da same nigga that had a white-jesus chain with mad diamonds on it…

$700 sneakers and we in a recession/depression….and after that stimulus package drops we gonna have mass inflation and the prices of everything will go UP, but we’ll still get paid the same when we get our check. (since most of us dont work for ourselves). we will soon be working harder for less money.

LOLOLOLOL

then why you on here phil..

OMG!!! annnnddddd them sneakers are ugly HAHAHAHAHAHA

they look like them sneakers the supermarket be sellin…..yall niggas TWEAKIN !!!! lololol

Those shoes are dope. But $700!!! Ha they better come w/a built in GPS!

Maybe the shoes are comfortable because they look like a pay less shoe. I would not purchase them. $700 gym shoes is not worth me wasting my money on. Not a fan of Kanye either. But good luck to him on this business adventure.

and ty to 1630… I didn’t understand the headline Kanye doesnt care about black people… I guess all black people are poor and wouldn’t be able to afford these shoes.

There ugly and even if they was good looking i still wouldent spend 700 dollers for a pair of traners, not even a bag , so what if there LV Who cares these stars are just trying to make more money for them selfs they need to come back down to earth. what a joke, do you no what you could do with 700 dollers.

worry bout yourself there cuz dont worry bout y im on here

f**k kanye he fell of f**kin sell out wit that tpain autotune s**t thats why Jayz kilt everyone with that death by autotune s**t

This is to the man who have nothing but poison coming out of his mouth.Hint: BLACK PLANET no one needs your negative energy and you should be caned for using the N word so boldly.I can tell you dont have much in your vocabulary.You have turned this into something totally negative.I feel sorry for you!!Now back to the topic: Rather you can afford it or not that is to much to pay for a name it’s nothing special about it,they wont last no longer then any other sneaker so whats the point.

No one complains while paying the high price for true religion jeans or for ed hardy clothing or gucci or prada so why all of the fuss over Louis Vuitton shoes? Oh, is it a problem because Kanye West has something to do with it? And, what does the care of black people have to do with the sell of shoes. No one says anything when ralph lauren or perry ellis does it so why all of the fuss over Kanye making some money? Sales is the number one profession in the world and were there are goods and services, there are buyers. I say get off of that man’s back and let him make his money and to the person that wrote this article, do you care about black people? Don’t hate, create your own multimillion dollar dream. PEACE!

That’s how much Louis Vuittion cost! So does that mean that Louis Vuittion doesn’t care about black people either or are you trying to say the if it cost that much, then blacks don’t have access to it? Since when? Blacks are going to spend their rent money/car note payment on those shoes.

JUST FACE IT KANYE IS STILL A SELL OUT…

They look like you can buy hem at Walmart. It is obvious that whoever buys them can afford them. So what, you cant tell anyone what to do with there money. I would not wear them for free and more power to you Kanye.

I dont understand why the heading said Kanye don’t care about black people..what that gotta do wit dis ugly ass shoe

u people would rather look nice with expensive cloths then to have a nice house or sume s**t…hense the term “N****r Rich”

y pay 700.00 for a product that is no different than a 50.00….
u can fly in them, there is no foot massage w/ pedicure included, u don’t look taller… what is so special about them….. just a name?

obviously the statement kanye doesn’t care about black people is taken from when Kanye saiD president Bush “doesn’t care about black people” after hurricane Katrina. i THINK kANYE wEST IS A SALE OUT IN EVERY WAY, NOT JUST BECAUSE HIS OVER PRICED SHOES. aLSO IF YOU WANT A REALITY CHECK YES A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF BLACKS IN THIS COUTRY ALONE LIVE IN POVERTY OR ARE DAMN CLOSE TO IT. cHECK THE STATISTICS. nOW THAT IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF, BUT RATHER ACKNOWLEDGED. sO FOR kNAYE OR ANY OTHER BLACK PERSON TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WHITES WHO ARE RACIST THEN TURN AROUND AND HATE THERE OWN KIND ARE NOT ONLY HYPOCRITES AND CLOWNS , BUT THEY ARE PRACTISING INTERNAL RACISM. BUNCH OF saD SELL OUTS.

You have some ignorant posters on here using terms that I bet they want use around there black friends, hence some real internet gangsters. Black people are always getting stereotyped by the ignorant others because all they do is listen to the media who is definitely not for blacks. To all the Billy Badasses posting BS on here walk through your local black neighborhood and talk the same talk. Please come back and post here what happened.
GOD bless!

yo b***h i live in your local black neighborhood faget and i say this s**t to my black friends too they just laugh and agree cause theres a BIG difference between black people and n****rs.

THE SHOES ARE UGLY!!!!!

LOL why are people period to see whats goin on in front of thier faces… Its a black man capitalizing on the “n****r rich” irregardless of race… FOOLS LMAO Kanye cares basically he’s saying skys the limit when a black man can come up with some ugly ass sneaks that some “n****r rich” dickhead will buy LMAO… Furhter more 700 dollars GOOD LORD THAT’S ALOT OF MONEY!!!! How about I give him 7 dollars just to smell the new 700 hundred dollars sneaker smell LMAO…. Dem bad boys better make a midget be able to dunk on shaq or sumthin!!!

LMAO as a half a black the white man has a point… N****rs can be british too!

My point exactly. These people are ignorant and illiterate . That is a bad combination. God help them. To all my black brothers and sisters. Have a great 4th of July!

Damn, them some ugly ass shoes. For $700, they better come with more then just a life time guarantee plus a new house with that. Damn, and when I thought Air Jordans, were high. This fool comes out with s**t.
Oh and phil_daddy_215, watch what the f**k you say, white boy, about u people. half of yall cracker ass italians are the same way about yall s**t too. F**king wannabe. Trying to show off.

I love Kanye and the way HE dresses, but so far shoe-wise he hasn’t put out anything I’d wear…yet. Hopefully his stint at the GAP will inspire some stuff more my style.

I would’nt wear these ugly mothaf**kas if the entire world turned into broken glass!

i would wear them but not for $700.i could do a whole lot more with $700 then just to buy sneakers. he buggin outta his cotton pickin mind. i could fix up my BMW for $700.Jees Kanye, you tryna make a girl go broke.

awww! did i hurt someones feelings…look YOU PEOPLE call each other n****rs all the time PUTTING YOURSELVES down so since YOU PEOPLE have no self respect then i think its fare for white people to say N****R too..oh and the only expensive s**t italins have are dress shoes and gold chains..lol…and i have neither homie……

IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE TO SEE BLACK MILLIONAIRES INVESTING THEIR MONEY INTO STARTING AND/OR BUYING LAND TO BUILD SUPERMARKETS TO FEED THE HUNGRY…BUY LAND TO BUILD HOMES TO SHELTER THE HOMELESS…BUY LAND TO BUILD HOSPITALS AND CLINICS TO HEAL THE SICK…BUT YET THEY INVEST THEIR MONEY INTO CLOTHES AND SHOES THAT ARE OVERPRICED AND IMPOSSIBLE FOR A FAMILY THAT IS LIVING HAND TO MOUTH TO AFFORD. SHAME ON YOU KANYE! AND SHAME ON YOUR FELLOW BLACK “ENTREPRENEURS”.

I like the purple and gray ones but none of them look good enough to pay $700, Louis and Kanye can keep them juss for the UK’s!!!lmao

@phil-faggy-215…..Who the hell is this lil fag on here talkin some n****r s**t. he can call us what he want cause Italians are gay and thats a well Known fact look at Versace ,Dolce and Gabbana all Fags, so i wouldn’t being the pot callin the kettle black punk ass b***h

UGH! Those are the ugliest shoes i’ve ever seen!!! For $700 he’s needs to come at us better than that!!! People will only buy them to say they have a paid of Kayne’s shoes or the fact that they’re rocking a $700 pair. F**k that, i’ll get a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes! I rather spend more for better.

Wow it must really be hard, living your life white boy. When you say you people, you fail to realize that alot of us black people, work for alot of this we have to take care of our family. Now for some little cracker italian kid who barely know s**t about black people, wait my bad, you learned how to say yo, homie, and n****r, tell us some other terms you learned in hood.

ALl im saying I wouldnt buy the sneaker its ugly to me …Wtf ….$700 aint thats like part a rent down where I live at ..Or Car Payment possible insurance…WHo da hell would want to a sneakers $700 come on now …

ouch stop that really hurts..lol…..slavery is over get over it its the 21 century…

phil_daddy_215 you are a stupid little bastard. You have just showed your lack of knowledge. The “FARE” that you were trying to refer to is FAIR!!! Not FARE!!!Fare is something you pay. If you’re going to carry on a try to be offensive, try doing it all while not making yourself look like an ass. When i see people be ignorant like you and that can’t use the correct word for which they speaking of, it makes me laugh and think, and this is the person that wants me to feel insulted! Grow the hell up.

ok i got you….hmmm how bout spook..coon..nignog..spade..jiggaboo..mondays(cause everyone hates mondays)..the list goes on but ill stop there…..stop think you guys are the still minoritys slaverys over you got your black president whites are the minoritys now..lol… enjoy your life stop srguin wit some random wihte boy on blackplanet..HA!

hey miss perfect its blackblanet why would i care how my spellin is am i gettin graded for this..lol…like wtf…lol

Kanye Doesn’t Care About Black People!!! LMMFAO, that s**t is funny…Who wants that UGLY ASS SHOE anyway…That’s a moon boot…White people can have that s**t, along with his nike…that s**t was made specifically for the Brits…

wow, ppl be beefin on blogs now?!?!? LMAO (tacky)….but anywhoz, damn kanye let me hold a dollar!

Holly s**t, Rocky does know what time we are living in. So you dont just think caveman and eating spaghetti and s**t. And here it is that I thought you was a dumbass italian, that trys to impress other black people from what hes learned from in the hood.

I’d rather spend money on a pair of Jordan’s.. I am joking… I am not a gym shoe person…lol Those shoes are hideous! smh

they’re cute

And Phil shut the f**k up b***h, eat a dick b***h, eat a bowl of s**t b***h…Yo mama can get over it!!! LMMFAO at this cracka as cracka…White muthaf**kas only take a stand when their in a safe and secure environment (i.e. the internet, state and city protected marches and rallies). Your a hoe, we all know…

in my views I would say it`s too expensive! think what will happen when pple wants it n can`t afford it…..it might definately result to pple doing crime just to afford a pair of shoe!….

wow yea you right bro…not…..dude im like this s**t 24/7..b***h…lol…..wat its rong to speak how u feel theese days thought this was a free world…lol…and my man im from south philly not so much a secure environment

HELL NAW I WOULDN’T PAY $700 FOR HIS SHOES NOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF SHOE.ECONOMY IS WAY TOO BAD TO BUYING A PAIR OF $700 SNEAKERS.THESE SHOES ARE TOO PLAIN,I DON’T CARE WHO PUT THESE OUT.

the purple ones are cute

THERE UGLY

What a f*ck’n Asshole to make shoes that cost $700 in this economy, people stupid enough to pay that amount for a pair of sneakers can have them cuz that is ridiculous, im not sayin you have to price at payless prices, but damn!! $700!! Crazy! This is a time when we need to help eachother other out, you just made that little kid in school who wishes they could own a pair of nice sneakers like this but cant because they can hardly afford their own lunch, their parents lost their jobs and about to lose their home, there are lots of kids like this right now, you just made them feel worse about themselves because they will never be able to afford that, you dont care about people or the economy or what we are going through you care about you and your own damn pocket, Kanye!! Boy im really startin to dislike your ass…

sneakers shouldnt go past a certin sales price,i dont care who you are.now the only shoe that i feel,correction sneaker that should go past the 250.00 mark is the jordan double pack which offers two of the best quality sneakers out to date for 310,(need i remind you your getting two pairs of jordans) only makes sense cuz you getting two of em but this nigga here?!kanye dun lost his mudafukin mind.

i jus wanna kno where can i get a pair?

Those big azz shoe straps!!!!! lol I wouldn’t pay $20.00 for those lol

S**t his f**kn Air Yeezys cost more that Jordans!!!He smokin man and people buying em too

First Kanye comes with that wack ass 808s and heart break s**t now he got some ugly ass sneakers that in some one elses name tryin to sell that s**t to us f**k is wrong wit dude every since his mother died he been wacked out

F**K THAT

I’m not really a sneaker fan, but 3 out of the 5 of those shoes are ugly as hell. Certainly not worth $700.

if ur complainin then u must cant afford em but i agree on sum prices but they r hot and i got a few items to match i like the good s**t so they r not for everyone

smh…

To me… This is just another way of bringing the self esteem down on a stugglin single parent who tries to give their kids the things they need and more so the things they want… Some parents can only do for their kids twice a year. Xmas and Birthdays if then. I think Kanye is catering to the ones who can afford them and buy them with no problem, but on the same note, there will be kids that want them just because of him not so much as LV… I think its ashame to disappoint your biggest fans who just happen to come from a single income home or a family that is not so fortunate to participate in keeping him rich. I work hard to make sure my kids have what they need and i work even harder to get them the things that they want… But if my son dare ask me for a pair of these shoes, he will be punched in the mouth… seriously!!!

hell the shoes are ugly anyway…

The shoes look nice. If I could afford them I would buy em.

if thats the case then this article should be about jordan, and whoever else sell their shoes for over 80-90 dollars, their all expensive…he’s not the only one…but those aren’t our only option so i dont see the big deal…people buy em’ so more power to him

Cute shoes, but $700′s worth of cute? Nope.

i wouldn’t wear them with his feet

lol Them shoes ugly as f**k. Anybody who pay 7 hunnit for those ugly s**ts is f**kin stupid.

ugly AND rediculously overpriced…not a good combination.

Okay but what does any of this have to do with the purposefully misleading article title?

I read that some one made the comment that they “love the good s**t”That’s funny cause black people always allow white rich people to dictate to us what’s good and what’s not them they over price them just to spit in our face.I bet those same people aren’t supporting black business.It’s not all about if you can afford them or not you need to research Black Wall Street and I’am not talking about the Games record label.

i like them cuz they are different but i wiouldn’t pay 7 hunnit 4 them. Don’t he know we in a recession rite now. LV brand or no LV brand the price of them shoes are just way to high and it’s only shoes. i mean do we get f**kin’ gold plaque with the purchase of them. DAMN Kanye you trippin’. All that f**kin’ money you got you could @ least sell them for bout the same price as some fresh whites.

OK? i LIKE THE SHOES. AND JUST B/C SOME OF CANNOT AFFORD THEM DOESMT MEAN THAT HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT HIS PEOPLE…

WHO THE HELL WANT TO WEAR THE S**T… WHAT ARE THEY NIKE AIR F****TS

Knowing Kanye West, $700 is a recession price. He probably would have charged double, $1400, if we were not in a recession. But, then again this the UK he selling it to so they are in better shape then America is in.

$700 for those ugly a$$ shoes. I’d rather wear Converse.

Truth is the price has never mattered to anyone..black or not black…people today are materialistic and even though we are in a recession, people will be buying the hell out of these shoes just so they can be apart of the “in” crowd!!!! it has nothing to do with Kanye not caring about blacks…God cares about EVERYBODY!!!!! not jst one race so why the hell would u b worried about wat Kanye thinks neway?

hes trippin! he sucks and so do his sneakers. People want them for the status but what about the kids thats cant afford them? no way in hell they cost that much to make. kids will be killin and robbin for them in no time.

Wow, I dont see what the british sees in that s**t, but Ummmm.. its not cute. No one likes Kanye anymore. I think his over c**ky attitude finally did it for us.

They are ugly, and K.West is not even a sports athlete so how he gone charge more then athletes who sell them?

Thats doesnt make any since those shoes ugly ass hell an they cost 700 only a fool would buy that

They look like Reeboks from the 90′s. C’mon. Humans – you’re a humorous species. LOL

Those shoes look gay and I am questioning Kanye’s sexuality with these fruity shoes he designed.eeewwww

These should disappear like L.A. Gear shoes did! LOL

Me being a sneaker freak…I would knock-off the pink/white/and grey ones, just to have ‘em. But Kanye is out of his DAMN mind for even putting out a shoe that costs $700 bucks. All that money you have Kanye, you coulda made the sneaks more affordable. We ina recession dude!!!!!

I rather feed my kids then buy them those shoes.lol!! How many meals can you get out of $700

“I ain’t sayin’ he’s a gold-digger…but $700 sneakers don’t make him a broke ni**a!” LOL. Who cares? The only people dumb enough to spend that much money on sneakers need to committed anyway (BTW, I don’t care for his music either…it sucks).

You never have to worry about anyone in the U.S. being robbed or killed for them for the fact who’s gonna be a real dummy and walk down the streets with them knowing everyone knows it cost $700

o one complains while paying the high price for true religion jeans or for ed hardy clothing or gucci or prada so why all of the fuss over Louis Vuitton shoes? Oh, is it a problem because Kanye West has something to do with it? And, what does the care of black people have to do with the sell of shoes. No one says anything when ralph lauren or perry ellis does it so why all of the fuss over Kanye making some money? Sales is the number one profession in the world and were there are goods and services, there are buyers. I say get off of that man’s back and let him make his money and to the person that wrote this article, do you care about black people? Don’t hate, create your own multimillion dollar dream. PEACE!

sorry..in this days economy..i dont see myself paying $700 for anything except a roof over my head..thats crazy!!!!

$700!! for those ugly ass shoes?? the only thing those shoes would be good for is KICKING ROCKS….

If you want them, you will buy them! Who doesn’t have a pair of Gucci’s or Todds? People buy what they want all the time like $1000 eyewear. STFU and buy them if you want them or wait until the knock-offs are made price $350.

Why is the pre title thing of this article “Kanye doesn’t care about black people” What does this have to do with the article? Are we saying that black people couldn’t afford the shoes? This website is so dumb

how about you dweebs think for yourself, and figure out what type shoes you like on your own. wow, does anyone think for themselves anymore?

LV shoes have never been cheap enless you know somebody that know somebody but a regualar pair of LV shoes goes for $500. If you want them you will buy them if you dont then don’t. It has nothing to do with him like black people its all about making money

i like them and i could afford them and i am black..that’s a stereotype racist and despicable ass comment, the author should be fired…how dare he/she whatever it is..UK is where the money is..that’s where s**t really sells..it’s business not personal..

Like other posters have said…what did you expect? On sale for $59.99??

They are LOUIS VUITTON

Even if Kanye wasn’t involved…Louis Vuitton sneakers average $800-$1300!

Apparently, the buyers in the UK are smarter than you people think, because they may have paid $700 for the sneaks…but they are auctioning them off on Ebay for twice that amount.

Instead of whinning about how others are investing and spending their money, you could learn a few things from people doing things better.

Scoff if you will, but $700 is the low end price when it comes to LV. The Stephen Spouse sneakers from LV retail for thousands :)

$700?? That’s some people’s rent. What’s up with the colorway? Either Amber Rose made that shoe or Kanye’s flamin. The rich and elite don’t even shop like that… just another reason for people, specifically targeting Black people to live outside of their means. “Kanye doesn’t like Black people” is irrelevant, though he is an idiot. Kanye may have money, but he’s not a high-end name. Kanye’s name up against Vuitton isn’t even half that price. All he did was make ANOTHER Skate shoe. I can name 3 different shoes in just that one. Supra, Creative Recreation and Vox. Nothing special.

I think Kayne could have made shoes for the inner-city kids not for the so call fashion world in the shape of encomony he was the first to call Bush out he is no better what? have he done lately but be a idiot he music sucks like his sense of fashion who ever argree with him stop being a dick handler

THEY ARE AFFORDABLE, AND THAT DOESENT MEAN STOPPIN FROM PAYING UR RENT AND UR CAR NOTE JUST TO GET A PAIR, DONT COMPLAIN ON WHY NOT TO GET IT, STAY POSITIVE AND THINK ON HOW CAN I GET IT, HAS NOTHING TO DO WIT BEING BLACK, U HAVE POOR WHITES OUT THERE AS WELL, STEP THAT UP, ASAP

Thank YOU Judgement King! You know… he could’ve been friendlier with the price, if it is really his shoe. $250-300 would have even sufficed, because it is Vuitton. Isn’t Vuitton pretty played in the shoe community though? Vuitton Forces, Max’s, Fila’s, etc… it’s obviously an urban shoe. Anyway, this topic doesn’t deserve this much conversation. I’m done.

only broke people complain over something as small as a shoe. if you gotta look in the bank to see if you got enough you probably shouldnt be wearing lv hugo boss gucci prada etc. later losers!

Another dumb ass n****r with money

Plain and Simple. We thought Air Jordans were high. But…they looked very good. These are Higher and Look Like Garbage. Now, if and also when inner city kids get these. Because, let’s be honest, our people get things they cannot afford, just to look good. They will get robbed, you will be walking around in these shoes, saying LOOK AT ME, I HAVE MONEY TO AFFORD HIGH UGLY SHOES. COME ROB ME! I’ll wait for the reality to hit. And it will sound like…( kids, getting robbed and killed over shoes…turn in…story at 11)

This is insane $700? I think he should find better things to do than endorse these shoes that most of his fans are’nt going to able to afford.

All blck people aren’t broke. How the hell can he not like black people because he chooses to have a $700 sneaker. I’m quite sure a ton of black people can afford the shoe. If you can’t afford it so what get your money up get a job stop complaining. To end if you had Kanye’s money you would do the same thing too.

They probably cost about $50 to make…they sell em’ to minorities for $700? Who’s the fool here? Not Louis V.

THEY R UGLY IF I HAD $700 I WOULDN’T BUY THAT UGLY S**T THANX FOR TRYING KAYNE

Ridiculous is all I have to say, he really lost his mind after his mom died. I wouldn’t buy them if they were $19.99 buy 1 get 1 free. Don’t he realize that there’s a recession going on, he better hope that people can afford to by his CD’s..Kayne be for real!

kanye got to be out of his mind. not everybody living recession free and could jus blow money on nonsense. regardless if u got a job ppl got bills on top of bills.

I agree 100 percent with blessed1786.. and to say he doesn’t care about black people is just ignorant. For one… he’s using his name and adding it to Louis V’s name. Do yall know how much a purse from them cost? Be serious? I think alone w/o Kanye’s name would be about 5dollars, his name just added the 2 extra.. so, it’s not all his fault and it’s not only his name neither. Stop b***hing all the time.. I wouldn’t buy them cuz I don’t like how they look but the title of this damn thing made me comment.

When you think about it,Jordan is just as guilty.His prices are pretty crazy,as well.Neither one of these dudes grew up rich.Does anybody really think that these shoes cost that much to make?With todays economy what smart person is really gonna spend that much on some shoes?..”Oh,look at Huey’s new $300 kicks.He looks pretty fresh but I heard he just got laid off from his job.He doesn’t know how he’s gonna pay the rent but, damn at least his feet look good.” lol!! Bottom line..Who really notices your feet? It’s not that serious.

The rich get richer and the dumb stay broke.

aishoney, we all know where the black people comment comes from but did it have to be put into the headlines regarding this? thats just like accepting jay z calling himself jayhova, its catchy but is it appropriate?

Those shoes look under $7….they belong in a start off department store!
Kanye stepped down and plus those shoes look like some snap ons for a mentally ill person (I don’t think they even want them)!

poorly designed. suede reebok knockoff lookin’ bull. gonna try to add a couple designs on the gum bottom… PLEASE STOP. that ish is way overdone.

You gotta be s**ttin me. They look like orthopedics. Yeezy you wrong for that.

REALLY I HIGHLY DOUBT ITz GOIN TO BE THAT HIz PRICEz ARE GOING TO BE THAT HIGH IN THE U.S. BUT I MAY BE WRONG IDK… ALL I NO IS $700 WOULD NOT BE SPENT ON THOSE SHOES

THEM S**TS IS UGLY FOR REAL!!!!!

i like them but dont think they are worth $700.00 but then again they are made by louis vuitton so they will sell anything for a high price

those shoes doesnt look like that much high price if u ask me…just cause Kanye & LV cross over still doesnt cost that much..he’s flatter himself

Lame.

This brotha has lost his damn mind. 700!!!! yeah right. first of all them joints look like some reeboks second do you know how much clothes or kicks I can get for 700 dollars, thats enough to look fresh for the rest of the summer.

Phil whatever man…Don’t act like you be in the hood in south philly talkin’ that s**t to a group of black people like you are in this blog…Because we know it don’t go down like that…You wouldn’t be breathin’ you hoe…Keep it funky, your pissed that you not black huh…I know…If I was a white boy, I’d hate myself too…LMAO, cracka muthaf**ka!!!

Might as well just cop some Reeboks… Kanye is buggin extra hard… lmao…

I hate the title of this article.. “Kanye Does Not Care about Black people” You guys act like all black people are broke… Kanye’s just doing what all the other designers do.. charge for the name/brand. If people will pay for it then why not. Black people are buying up Gucci and Louis. Don’t act like only white people have money because you are downgrading blacks with that article title as if all black people are broke. If people would pay me $700 for something that cost about $25 to make.. i would do it too. That’s business… get over it.

Maybe I’m just getting old but it seems that new hiphop fashions are starting to look really really gay.As for the price tag, the only way I would ever pay $700 for these God awful shoes is if they Anti gravity boots or had built in internet service.

THOSE ARE HOTT!!

i would buy them im black and im far from broke

I AGREE WITH WEF1977 WHEN YOU SAID THIS S**T THESE DUES IN HIP HOP IS ROCKING ID LOOKING GAY AS F**K, FIRST IT WAS 50 WITH THE SPORTS BRAS, THEN JIM JONES AND THESE NIGGAS WITH THE TIGHT JEANS AND SHIRTS, CAM WAS ROCKING PINK FOR A MINUTE LIKE IT WAS COOL, NOW KANYE GOT SOME DAMN PINK SHOES! I AINT WIT IT, AND I AINT GOT LOVE FOR A NIGGA WHO GONNA CHARGE PEOPLE 700 DOLLARS FOR SOME UGLY S**T. THESE ARE NOT HOOD APPROVED!

he sure doesnt care about black ppl…cuz my black ass wont be buyin em. Shame on you kanye.

The shoes are ugly,Kanye is lame,black people are buying Luis Vuitton as well as Gucci,but it don’t mean none of that s**t is hot. I want somebody to get they mind right,half of this new fashion s**t is not hot. Nothing is hot bout a grown man walkin around in a tight ass T-shirt meant for rockers like Bon-Jovi and Kurt Cobain (Ed Hardy) yeah I took it there. Tight skinny leg jeans pulled to your ankles showing ya boxers is not cool,if only some of these cats knew how silly they look. Coogi gear not cool,leave that to Cliff and Theo Huxtable. Jeans with sequins,and glitter,and all kind of shinny stuff on the pockets and back of a mans ass ,again is not cool. these days the fashion have a man lookin like a woman,and a woman lookin like a w***e. Of course I’m not gonna sugar coat it,I’ll call it like I see it,nothing left to the imagination these days. Then they wonder why men only look at them as an sex object,or wonder why people always stereotype us as thugs and hoodlums. Now they got some more s**t on us,half of us can barely afford to pay tuition for school but will run out a buy some stanking shoes by Kanye just cause they are Louis Vuitton. Lol,at these fools.

uhhhmm ,, why does it gotta be that he dont care about black people ?? seems like to me he dont care about nobody cause me myself would NEVER buy them or pay that much for the darn shoes .. and to be honest they look like a similar version of some damn pastry shoes on revren run’s daughters shoe line !!

If you dont like them… don’t buy them point blank! If Kanye makin money…LET THE NIGGA MAKE MONEY! If i could sell some pink shoes for $700… I would sell them janks! lol. And ya’ll know ya’ll would to!

What does Kanye West making a 700 dollar shoe have anything to do with him hating black people.That title makes no sense with this article.Write about something that’s worthy to talk about.

For that price, I better be able to fly in those shoes. :-)

POETICDANCER typed a good point, maybe the person might have been saying that BLACK people cannot afford or some blacks such as myself will not spend such a ridiculous amount of money for some damn sneakers. But otherwise the title does not fit the article. On another note, if Kanye can get paid over there, s**t he should continue to do him. I know one thing his bank account is GREEN, the checks are WHITE and the ink is BLACK. Most important colors to me. LOLOL. Peace to all.

some of this s**t they call fashion is crazy.. now this s**t is ugly and even they know it.. the black ones are aight tho. but between young black men going to jail n turnin gay n this gay ass fashion s**t i think they tryin to make majority of black men feminine. Black women are like 70 percent single.. n if majority black men are locked up or on this feminine s**t .. hmm i wonder who gon scoop up all tha sistas??? we all know who been wantin sistas even tho back in tha day use to talk bad bout em

I like ‘em! The pink and white ones are my favorite. I’d wear them!

doesn’t care 4 blacks i wouldn’t say that, he’s just looking out for self and that’s just human. personally i don’t like them, they look like a mixture of sum creative rec/soldier rees(reeboks)/some old filas with the thick black sole

Reeel sad that Kanye stuck in the clouds! That money got him addicted! Somebody need to let him know, his fans (down on earth) is in a damn reccession! Gay ass shoes!! (Tight pants pink shoes? WTF)

OKAY I MUST HAVE MISSED IT BUT I DIDN’T READ WERE KANYE DIDN’T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE

UM SO IF YOUR SHOES ARE CHEAP YOU CARE BOUT BLACKS JORDANS COST TOO BUT THE SHOES ARE LOUIS V WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ………………

The title to this news article are very misleading, The reverse title should be…Can Black People Afford These Sneakers.

$700? I wouldn’t pay $7 for those things.

the sneakers are so ughly, they ughly i wouldnt even want them if they offered it for free because they so ughly!!!

I think they are cute, if i had $700 to spend on shoe instead of rent lol i would buy them. But just because Kanye put out $700 sneakers dont mean he dont care bout black ppl. Thats some f**ked up s**t to say.

KANYE MUST HAD HIS EYES CLOSED WHEN HE DESIGN THOSE SHOES..THEY NEED TO BE SOLD AT PAYLES SHOES..ON SALE FOR $20.00 OR LESS..WAS HE HIGH ..$700.00..LOLOL

Dey aigghhhttt…..

I made a comment regarding these ugly ass sneakers and I notice that you deleted my comment, so I say f**k the sneakers and f**k you blackplanet, I would not recommend anyone to this bulls**t ass web site..

those shoes are very ugly i love shoes and thoes right there aint worth 700 bucks they look like crap to me u’d think since the so darn expensive that they would atleast look good. come on kanye you can do better than that

WTF??? Jordan shoes ain’t even worth 700 let alone these monstrosities, I would rather wear Nelly’s shoes all day, I’d rather wear Hurricanes, no better yet I would rather wear LUGZ!!! over those ugly pieces of s**t, Kanye u need to stop and $700??? who the hell gon buy em, rappers? drug dealers? I mean u got issues if u think u gon make any money for them s**ts, ok, it’s official KANYE U HAVE LOST UR RABBID ASS MIND… go to the nearest mental ward IMMEDIATELY!!!

R.C. The Matrix signin off…

them shyt r soooo ugly… not even worth debating if da price sud c** down or not.. if they were 50 bucks i still wudnt even cop… smh.. dam kanye u f**k’d up man…

mann…i love kanye. no question…no doubt…i love his music…and what makes kanye who he is is the fact that he jus doesnt give as damn! real talk. but these kicks, have got to go. 700 to us isnt the same to 700 in the UK. i have always thought LV was all about the quality and uniqueness, but these shoes are definately giving LV a bad touch. not cute at all…and this is coming from a true kanye fan…idk bout this one

I DONT CARE WHO MADE THEM AINT NO SHOE THAT LOOKS LIKE COTTON CANDY OR ANYTHING ELSE WORTH $700!!!!!! AND WHAT THE REALLY SAD ASS PART IS: SOME IDIOT ASS FOOL IS GOING TO BUY THEM!! INSTEAD OF MAKING SOME SERIOUSLY OVERPRICED SHOE, MAYBE THAT STUCK ON HIMSELF/ CRYBABY ASS FOOL SHOULD TAKE HIS MONEY AND DO SOME DAMN GOOD IN ANY IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITY IN ANY AMERICAN CITY!!!!

FIRST OFF NOT A FAN OF KANYE, BUT URBAN DAILY IS A FIRESTARTER..BLACK PEOPLE PAY HUNDREDS (NOT $700) BUT ENUF (SOMETIMES THEIR WHOLE PAYCHECK) JUST TO ROCK THE LATEST AND SINKING DEEPER IN DEBT..SO F**KING KANYE JUST LINING HIS POCKETS WITH SOME STUPID DUDES PAY THAT USUALLY WILL GO TO COACH KNOWING THEY SHOULD BE SHOPPING AT KMART. INSTEAD OF HIM BEING USED BY THE “INDUSTRY” HE IS USING THEM TO GET WHAT HE WANTS…DA MONEY. KUDOS TO HIM!

tell kanye to hang it up..thems joints are the worst..i’d rather rock sum avaia from the 80′s…bring back the lotto’s…2 hands down for kanye!!!…boo!!!!..boo!!!!
boo this man!!!

Ill just stick to my Jordans. I wish I would pay 700 hundred for some shoes, I mean do they come with a T.V?

ugly as hell.

And the title has what to do with the article? Unfortunately, I no longer wear tennis shoes, but I do like the pink and white ones…might go get those to wear on pink & green days…

they are kind of cute, not really girlie enough for me, look like a man’s shoe. but even with that being said, i mean no harm to him or anyone else, but the only way you’ll see a pair of them on my feet is if someone buys them for me or steals a pair and sells them to me at a REASONABLE price. (neighborhood bootlegger) lol sad to say, and they wonder why bootleggers still in business and will forever be in business. prices of certain items are ridiculous. but kudos to him, if they do good business in the market!

OMG!! I love those purple sneeks…i’d rock them any day just wish he’d put them out in the U.S. and at least let em go for 130.00 or 150.00….guess i’ll keep rockin the pastries..!!

I got two words: Hell no! However, someone will be stupid to spend their rent, paycheck, or child support loot on those ugly-ass shoes. There is 1 person out of 10, who won’t do the right thing. I’ll wear rather wear a cheap-ass pair of sneakers, before I’d wear those.

They are really nice shoes but at the same time….Really 700 dollars…Kanye West I Luv U But C** On Na..We in a Recession …I mean I want them shoes…Lol..But i cant get um. But i aint gone knock his game cause its alot ppl that can afford em. But I sure know i cant Lol…

HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND 700 DOLARS FOR THESE UGLY ASS SHOES !!!!!

Those shoes are amazing! And I am a Luis V fan, so yes knowing my crazy a** I would buy those shoes in every color and rock the hell out of them. I am proud of Kanye, I love how he created a pair of shoes that would allow to me to look fashion shavy while moving around campus.

In my opinion dey ugly. but it doesnt hav nuttin to do wit him not lykn black ppl. if niggas lyk em dey gne find money to get em im frm ny and my homeboys go dwn to 5th ave to the gucci store and buy sneakers for 500 to 600 bucks.

Kanye does care about black people… He may disregard the less fortunate… It’s not about race, it’s about class!

$700 thats some bull…who ever pays that much for some Kanye sneakers is retarded. Better put that money in the bank this is a recession. It’ll be the one’s that can’t afford to spend the money that will buy them.

Them s**ts look like L.A gear from like 1980 something.. Anybody that pays over 20 dollars for them s**ts must have drunk that koolaid.. Kanye f**kin up.. lol hahahahahaha.. They look like rainbow bright and the carebears got together on a buisness venture. If U.K. sellin those for 700 dollars and niggaz buyin them.. I got some stocks used cars and land i need to sell them.. Big dummies hahahahaha

Well if you like Sissy looking sneakers maybe you might buy them. But guess what, I don’t even think Gays would buy that Fags shoes, even if he dropped the price on that White & Pink bit of crap/AKA Sissy shoe.
Remember when GUESS may Out Fits in every color, then they fail out of style. Thank God GUESS made it’s changes.

Those are some ugly UGLY shoes i wouldn’t waste my money on that. no Offense to Kanye because i love kanye but DANG THEM SHOES UGLY

there no way in da f…. world i would pay for some sneakers that look like reebok, thats just krazy on his behalf. n i can afford then ya digg

First of all kanye nobody is gonna buy that sh**, you gonna have boosters robbing the hell out of trains and trucks, and sellin them on the street for like 100-150. I personally would NOT buy them. However he is not the first celeb to do something that crazy if u remember back around 2000 0r 2001 Allen Iverson had some of his shoes in the eastbay book with all diamonds in them shoe strings too, going for about 65k black people stop wasting money please. this is really pointless cause if i was a million air i wouldn’t buy them.

DA PINK AND WHITE AND PURPLE AND WHITE LOOK LIKE THAT GOT SOME LEFT OVER GRADUATION TASSELS HANGING OFF THEM

come one kanye?????wtf …..
1st it’s AMBER ROSE(she is pretty if i must say so myself)….but gosh
then…DRAKE stupid ass video…now this…..
i think kanye is getting a lil bored people…what yall think….????????

Im starting to dislike Kanye he need to humble himself remember you just a nigga from Chicago get over yourself. He need to take a Stephon Marbury route and make s**t affordable for people who don’t got money like that cause thats the people who buyin your cd’s not no for real italian millionaires

Well let the Brits have that shiit, those things are fukkin hideous!

A 700 load of crap. Heads up Kayne, we’re are in a recession so people can’t afford to buy some plain ass shoes for 700 bucks! Is is just me, but i don’t understand why the shoes he’s created say that he doesn’t care about black people. I think that he just wants to tailor to the elite. Honestly, looking at those shoes remind me of L.A. Gear, Filas and reebok of the 80′s and 90′s.
Best bet: Go buy some reeboks at the shoe store. Its cheaper and it looks like everyone’s going back to reeboks anyway. Tough economy= cheaper products!

Queen804: yep, your ass is crazy to consider buying a $700 shoe when there are other things that that money can be used for (i.e.: BILLS).
In fact, why don’t you give me that money, since you may have plenty more.

Kanye is not the first black person that has sold something for that amount of money. First of all, he has collaborated with Louis Vuitton…think people. Louis Vuitton aint cheap. I think if you can afford it and you want it then buy it. Second, Kanye got issues…it’s a shame if yall havent caught on to that yet.

all i have 2 say is this. the cost of an item can make that item look hella good or hella ugly. in this case since the price is so high, yea of course ppl r gonna say its ugly and not worth buying just simply because the demand for it isnt high enough (at least frm wht im hearing) Now if those same shoes were even 500-600 dollars cheaper i bet u a WHOLE lot of ppl would be sayin how fly they are and they can’t wait till the hit tha shelves. Personally I like them, but would never pay that much for them. I’ll wait till they hit nordsrom rack or somethin lol

Honestly those shoes really are not all that i mean in my opinion they look kind of plain with a tassel thrown on them. kanye is cool in all but come on really $700 dollars one 1 pair of shoes is a bit extream, I dont care who he is catering to (rich or middle class). When are we as African Americans are going to WAKE UP Louis V really dont want us as a people(African American) buying there brand anyway but yet these rappers are buying it like its going out of style or as if its there favorite flavor of kool aid (the red kind) LOL, I LUV MY PEOPLE BE BLESSED!!!!

kanye is smokin that s**t…they aren’t even 700 dollar sexy!…i love kanye’s style but he’s buggin…thats a purse!

PERSONALLY I DONT LIKE HIS STYLE AND THE SHOES ARE UGLY! $700 NEEDS TO BE INVESTED INTO SOMETHIN THAT WILL APPRECIATE NOT DEPPRECIATE AS SOON AS U STEP ON THE GROUND!!!

A COUPLE OF ‘EM LOOK EXTRA GIRLY

The shoes aren’t even designed all that well. It’s just a waste.

I THINK THEIR CUTIE EXCEPT FOR ALL RED ONES…BUT U HAVE TO ROCK THEM IN A CERTAIN WAY….GIRLS CAN GET AWAY WIT THE COLORFUL ONES BUT THE DUDES STICK WIT THE SOLID COLORS AND THE REASON THEY SOOOOOOOOO HIGH CUZ U PAYING 4 LOUIE V

Kanye on that bulls**t!!! WTF was he thinking….and what the hell wrong with those people who want to buy. I tell you the British will do anything for a black celebrity lol. Please dont take offense to that comment. But look at how the Brittish practically worshiped MJ, Muddy Waters, Kanye, etc….you see where I am going with this lol, but you know what I dont care. Power to you!! At least someone cares about our black celebs…go London! lol.

personally, i think that kanye need to slapped with 10 bricks and stop smoking that crack cause there is nobody in the world that will buy them fruity azz shoes for $700. lost all stripes for that one.

these shoes are ugly!!! I feel if you waste $700 on these shoes your nuts!!! you can buy at least 4 pair of JORDANS a ED.HARDY outfit and a fly hat. come on KANYE! at least throw some diamonds or some on it, not the DOONEY & BOURKE tassel!

WIZZ-ACK…..Gimme some Tims or Jordan over these Bulls**ts

i like them, just cant afford them

I’m sorry, but anyone even considering buying these sneakers, cute or not, at $700 is ridiculous, with this economy and all the problems and debt that we’re facing, you got your priorities screwed up just as Kanye does for puttin his name on something like this, this is the same guy who lashed out on public television because according to him Bush didnt care about the people who were in need during hurricane Katrina, he obviously doesn’t give a crap about them either, or anyone else facing the economic crisis in this country, yea maybe charging $700 for a pair of sneakers seemed alright 2 years ago, but not today, today if you are charging that amount just shows how much lack of consciousness you have towards the serious issues we are facing in this country and the world….so sad i personally never spent more than $200 for any piece of clothing or accessory, and right now at this point even $200 seems like too much

lmao off at these ugly ass shoes..kanye stick to rapping not designing and to anyone who thinkin about buying them shoes u crzay we in a damn recession u betta keep that money in the bank.

Look like some s**t a fag would wear.

i wouldnt ever pay that much for shoes

kanye west is buggin out anybody who buy them shoes retarted!!

Kaynye is trippin forreal. Those shoes are UGLY!!!

A Reebok with some LV flowers on it? $700?!?!?! Does it grow if my foot grows? Does it make me jump higher? Will it get me a job? Can I lose weight wearing this shoe? Does Kanye start walking next to me with the chorus to “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” playing when I walk in them? Do the shoes also cover my rent for the month? Do they come with at least one outfit? And finally do the shoes have a life time warranty, meaning, will they be hot forever and if anything happens to one pair can I get another for free?! If the answer is NO to any of the above questions, FK those shoes and all the crazies who buy them! :-P

give me filas any day
fk is wrong with you kanye?

I’ll rather wear the knock offs!! LMAO

doe5 $hitz r wake n 5ombody gone 2 bye theam

Is it just me or is anybody else wondering why the headline of this article on my page was “Kanye doesn’t care about black people”

What does Kanye’s “ugly shoes” have to do with caring about black people?

Is it because the shoes are 700 dollars?

Are they saying that a black person shouldn’t market an expensive item because black people can’t afford expensive things?

Which one is more racist to you?

A black person promoting a product that is expensive or a news site claiming that things being expensive excludes black people?

I’m starting to hate this news site for real…

Many people have better things to do with $700 than to buy shoes. Kayne has lost his mind to think that the average person will buy these shoes.

I agree with bigbender there.

Kanye has lost it Bigbenda brought up a good point, but even if I had 700 to throw away I wouldnt buy those ugly ass shoes I could 3 pair of J’s for that but really tho I could spend that 700 more responisbly.

YOU NIGGAS IS SLEEP!! THEM SHOES GO TOO HARD. You KNOW if you could afford a pair you would be right at parlor tryin to cop you a pair. Yea, they pricey as hell, but them boys is too fresh, and I dont even even f**k with LV like that.

That MF has lost his mind. Do he take any I.O.U’s or should we do what we all can do when we want something ,but broke LAYAWAY!! B**ch!

Them shoes is off tha chain! Sure i’d buy them, if one of them $0′s is taken off that dollar amount….. Kanye think we crazy to spend THAT much money on a pair of sneaks? Yeah we got ppl willing to dish out a couple of hundreds for a good pair, but $700!!!! UUUU trippin!!!!

Wow are they tryna be funny saying Kanye doesn’t care about black people? WTF! They are some damn shoes who gives a f&*K. So black people can’t afford them??? How black planet gonna have sum racist s^&t like that up…ughh. Whomever came up with that title should be ashamed of themself, black, white or purple.

1 and 4 are cool…the rest are garbage…

LMAO! The only thing that makes ‘em that much is The Label “Louis Vuitton” being on them or else them shoes would be like $100. Wouldn’t buy em even if I had Oprah money tho.

fuk them shoes ill stay n my J’s 700 dollas for a pair of kicks yeah rite!!! LMAO !!!!

NIGGA PLEASE LOL

He can give me 700 to rock them but I wouldn’t pay 30 for them

I understand. Many of you may have not bought it. However, put in mind that the french and italian lebel are and will always remain the best.

hell no i wouldnt wear them…all they is ,is upgraded reebox…lol

To Mr. Barrow, senior editor:
Do you realize the headline link from BlackPlanet to this page says, “Kanye doesn’t like Black people?”

What does his $700 shoes have anything to do with what he feels about Black people? The shoes are made for ANYONE who thinks they’re not ugly, and can afford them. Period.

LMFAO……WTF…KANYE REALLY HAS GONE CRAZY….BUT I BET ITS GON B ANOTHER STAR THAT HAVE SOME LV SNEAKS AFTER THIS….ON THA REAL THO …THEM S#ITS IS MAD UGLY …AND THAT HEADLINE IS RACIST AS FUC

the headline doesn’t fit the story at all. i’m not gonna comment on Kayne’s shoes cause i believe that’s what the headline expect us to do. i will say this though, blackplanet.com don’t care about black people if they are going to keep focusing on trying to belittle our black entertainers. The story has nothing to do with Kanye not caring about blacks at all.

for those of you that forgot or never knew: the “doesn’t care about black people” is a disortion of what Kanye said about Bush when bush didn’t supply money/aide for Katrina releif.

The headlines used it to say that if Kanye is willing to charge his people $700 for some Reebok Soldiers, then he doesn’t care about the social status that defines black america… he’s not the first; remember: Jordan’s, Beyonce’s clothing line getting dissed on oprah for costing too much and now Kanye…

the bottom line is how can Kanye charge his ppl $700 for some kicks?! “most of us don’t have the extra money to pay for those…”

i dont care…those shoes ugly anyways.

to lee2smooth03… then basically the headline is more racist then ever. they are saying that black people are too poor to afford pricey things. and saving lives during katrina has nothing to do with selling shoes. so the headline still strikes a nerve with me.

Who cares? As long as people continue to pay for his cd’s and requesting his songs on the radio, he will continue to make more money than he can think of using and blow it on whatever he wants to…Just like most of yall started trying to get the LV bookbags and other LV accessories him snd other entertainers were rockin’ as a fashion statement, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of yall go out and get those shoes or anything else him or anyone else comes out with, whether it is ridiculous in price or appearance…

For the price of those shoes I could have 2 suits complete with shirts, ties and shoes. Which is more respectable? The man in the suit or the man trying to be a kid in over priced payless looking shoes. This is why our dollars aren’t respected. We (as a people) will throw money at garbage. Then expect respect for it. There is no pride in paying 200 dollars for jeans that were made in the same sweat shop as the pair sitting in walmart. There is no pride or prize in being fools with our money. This artist started out with Jess walks with e now that he is on fashion has become his new god. Kanye needs to get back to the soul of his music and himself.

Wow, thats most of my bills for the month…lol

WHO GIVES A DAM BOUT KANYE CRY BABY ASS DA SHOES AINT EVEN WORTH DAT MUCH AN THEY LOOK LIKE CRAP

darccmann you are absolutely right. One has nothing to do with the other. I also agree with Soul, our dollars do get looked at as a joke, and this doesn’t help. Grown men just don’t go up like they did in the 70′s and 80′s.

Kanye doesn’t care about black people? Give me a break! Must black people wear Kanye’s sneakers? The level of inanity in BP forums makes me wonder about the executives of this corporation, as well as my continuing membership of this online organization. Its all so dumb, oh! so stupid!

HE PROB ONLY PAID $50 TO HAVE EM MADE! KANYE OWNS A SWEATSHOP! LOL

when white people do it it’s whatever. when black people make expensive stuff it’s a shame. please!!! if he said he was making it specifically for black people he would’ve said it. IT doesn’t say FUBU on it so i guess it’s not just for black people. i don’t blame em. make all the money u can cuz people just like to hate regardless.

PS the shoes are ugly so i wouldn’t buy it anyway…lol

I dont even wear snearkers and there not that cute even with the pink.. Ill stick to the airforce 1 if i choose to wear a sneaker.

I’m not feelin’ these shoes but it wouldn’t matter either way… I only wear heels… *lol* but what’s up with “Kanye doesn’t care about black people?” So, anyone who’s into high-end fashion doesn’t like black people??? What sense does that make? That was real ignorant to say somethin’ like that.

Yuck I Dont Think So!!!!

It’s always sad when people who grow up poor end up making it big when they become grown but they forget were they come from. And end up coming out with sh!t they could’nt afford when they were a teenager. If you could afford this when you was younger then I would’nt have know problems. But this really is selling out.

WEll if you think these shoes cost this much do you think that air jordans that could cost over 200.00 cost to much?

700! das a lil more den ma rent!! only dope boys an rich ppl can get dat lol,,unless u jus really save up

Kanye like MJ is a very gifted artist which must be acknowledged whether you like him or not. However, I am starting to develop such a disdain for him I wouldn’t buy his shoe simply based on principle. When I spend any significant amount of $$$ I try to do it in a way that’s sure to benefit the black community, domestic or abroad. Kanye seems to have developed into the type of artist who really couldn’t care less about that type of thing. As a matter of fact, I’d be willing to bet $$$ that shoe was probably made in a sweat shop somewhere, by child-laborers, in some economically exploited country.

After reading quite a few of the responses I am feeling good that people are rejecting the idea of purchasing this shoe based on principle. This is one of those products that hits the market exclusively for ‘niggas’ (i.e. ignorant people). Like Huey expressed on the ‘Boondocks’, a ‘nigga product’. Only a person who wants to feel exceptional from everyone else buys this shoe. And that person should feel exceptional… exceptionally foolish. I bet it’s being said that the shoe is selling out in the UK to soften people up in the US to the idea of buying a $700 shoe. only a fool would buy or release a sneaker shoe costing $700 during a worldwide economic depression. Brilliant marketing huh?

I think that what they were trying to do by putting up that title for this article, is to mock him when he said that famous line on national t.v. “Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People!” Does anybody remember that, during hurrican Katrina, and I guess what they are tryin to do is mock and say that you have the nerve to call out Bush for not helping out financially with the victims of that natural disaster, but then a years later you’re gonna come out with a shoe that cost $300 away from fkn $1000!! That shows that Kanye himself is not conscious or thinking responsibily towards the economic crisis that we are going through right now, so he calls bush out as not “caring about black people” well Kanye isn’t showing much different, or even caring about people in general. So I think thats where that title comes from, it is a lil stupid, but I can see where they get it from

First off the price of his shoes has nothing to do with his pride in his community. Grow up people. This is the same man that was one of the first and few black people that stood up during the the Hurricane Katrina Diabolical let left thousands of our people dead.

Kanye West Ego may need it’s own room but ever line he drops shows he delivers messages more than 0I can say of the Lil Waynes and other rappers of that type and style of the world.

Funny thing about our people is this when athletes or stars make there shoes affordable no one buys them.

Shaq has been a force in the NBA for almost 20 years and you dont see people flying to the store to rock a pair of his shoes.

When we do rock low end sneakers not so much as adults but our children say ages 5 -18yrs old they get ridiculed for having them.

I’ve never been a Jordan fan nor have I ever brought any of his sneakers. So I cant tell you what year he retired officially.

And yet people still want a pair of his Airness Shoes. Even though he is insignifacnt to the game now that he’s now competeing.
I’m no knocking his legacy.

What I’m saying is the only reason people rock Jordans is because they have become symbolic with status.

Somewhere someone unknown powers that be decided in the black community Jordans equated you were doing it Big.

You dont believe me google the special they did on not the man Micheal Jordan but his sneakers.

So until we change are thinking on what we value you’ll see this type of behavior towards shoes clothing rims etc.

Guns and Butter Baby and none of that stuff appreciates.

Mr. West made a product devoid of color lines he made it with the intent of getting paid.

I’m not knocking him for fatting his pockets or Jordan.

You got two choices make him richer and buy them. Or invest your $700.00 and maybe one day someone will write an article on you saying how you dont love your people because you are offering a product they cant afford and yet if it was afforable they wouldn’t buy it…

Cut me a break this article is just plain stupid…

I wouldn’t buy that raggedy azz lookin shoe even it wasn’t $700.00. It’s ugly as hell. Added to that is the ridiculous price.. Kanye is truly full of himself and has lost touch with the “real world”.

This is targeting the tons of wealthy young adults (there are tons of whites, blacks, hispanics.. ” who have 700 dollars for a pair of kids. HELLO– Michelle Obama rocks 500.00 sneakers.. Yall.. (so PLS) they are Louie’s .. A bag is a few grand..

what does $700 shoes have to do with kanye not giving a damn about black folks?

if its a ‘cost issue’, there are PLENTY of black folks dumb enough to spend $4,000 rims on a car. that’s the same kind of simpleton that would pay $700 for shoes.

there, he cares about black folks at least as much as he cares about non black folks.

grow the hell up.

All I want to know is what IDIOT is gonna buy that UGLY ASS shoe????? I wouldn’t buy that shyt if it was .70 cents. I always new Kyane was a big fat jerk and this just proves it further.

I swear I still don’t understand why so many people like his music. It’s all crap. He hasn’t had a good song since or before Gold Digga. And still to this day I am saying that had to do with Jamie Fox.

To SensualElluzion: the point is that he is not the first black person to have a high end or high priced product, the point is that today, in the year 2009, when we are knowingly in an econimic crisis, when people should be more conscious of how they spend their money, or how much it cost to put a product out there, when instead of the same man “standing up” during hurricane Katrina, he sure isn’t thinking about the people in need now by charging $700 for a damn shoe, and its not even only him, its anyone who wants to sit there and act like he cares about people in need, but then wants to turn around and overcharge on a f*ckn shoe!!! Thats the issue here, not that we’re not being fair to Kanye, but that Kanye is being hypocritical…

Those are mad ugly. Would not buy them or wear them, even if they were free. Not mad at him for having expensive shoes though. Saying he doesn’t care is almost like saying there are no black people that can afford that price tag. I just think they’re too ugly to buy. LOL.

i dont get it… how does he not care about blk ppl? cause the shoes are expensive? like, thats kinda of stupid 4 bp 2 say- as if blk ppl cant afford 2 spend $700 on sneakers… sheeesh… the shoes ARE ugly btw…lol mayb he can get away with wearing them but if i catch any one else wearin them… its roastin time…lol

Luv L.V. but HATE them shoes! I wouldn’t want them if they gave them away! Complete waste of money!

Faggy- looking azz shoes and I bet some idiots will spend some loot on it. WTF ever happened to common sense?

Kanye should have named them Marty McFly’s because if they are “back from the future” we not ready yet. Send them s**ts where he got them from.

Dayum, them shoes are screaming, “I love fishsticks!!!”

Dis dude here…
That is all.
Watch da lame wanna be cop’em though, fashion is 1 thang but making a joke out of something/a label (vitton) just to prove that black people will buy it is another….. and those shoes are ANOTHER.

BLACK PEOPLE ARE SO PHUCKING CONFUSED. WHEN SHAQ CAME OUT WITH AFFORDABLE SNEAKERS NOBODY WANTED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO CHEAP…GO PHUCKING FIGURE!!!. THE SAME BLACK PEOPLE ON HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT KANYE ARE THE SAME ONES BUYING $2000 POCKET BOOKS AND RIMS THEY CANT AFFORD EITHER. WHEN THE WHITE MAN MARKETS THEM TO US WE ARE THE FIRST IN LINE TO WASTE OUR RENT MONEY BUYING FOOLISHNESS. WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE AND INVEST WISELY AND LET THOSE WHO CAN TRULY AFFORD THEM BUY WHAT THEY WANT.

now i can understand all yall comments but for the person that call blk ppl dumb for spending x amount of money on rims is a joke. point blank ppl spend money on what they wanna spend money on. thats just how it is. lets be real. how many ppl you know right now that got a blackberry phone and dont even use have the s**t that the phone was meant for. so dont hate the fact that the shoe cost a lil money. true they ugly but obviously ppl buying them. so i respect his hustle cuz in the mist of the economic s**t we end he can still get ppl to come out of pocket of a shoe. if you dont like it dont wear it but dont hate.

I ain’t mad at Kanye do what you do boy. i see sneakers going for around $500 bills sneakers that sold in the 80′s for about $60 are now $500 because Nike says they are specal editions but you can find them on the feet of about 1 out every 3 kids. The shoes are ugly and you an choose to buy or pass buy. having expensive fashions is not an indication of someone careing for others. I mean sean john sells really expensive clothes but i don’t see people ofter him for being expenesive. If people want to spend their dollars on those shoes so be it. I just don’t understand why we as a people buy gear from Europeans who could care less if we buy there crap. We all buy into materialism and if Kanye wants to cash in that is his own perogotive.

Another thing i say Europeans don’t donate to american causes or charities but we continue to buy their crap. They do nothing in our communities but we continue to by their crap. Kanye get your huslte on and stop trying to sing. LOL!!!!

I can’t believe that hate and “shock” about these shoes. Did it ever occur to your rocket scientists’ that Kanye didn’t come up with the price???

Afterall, the dude didn’t team up with “Reebok” or “K Swiss”…we are talking about the luxury designer (arguably the best) Louis Vuitton.

If you think a regular pair of LV’s sneakers are going to go for less than $500 you’re sadly mistaken. If you don’t like the shoes, fine. If you don’t like the price, fine. But why judge what someone else does with their money? Are you really in the position to be in someone’s pockets?

Didn’t think so, folks…

A fool and his money are soon parted…

still remains so true…

700 for a pair of shoes ?? lol id rather buy an unreleased blackberry
