Kanye West’s Yeezy Gap Line Officially Unveils Its First Piece
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Yeezy Gap / Gap After months of anticipation, the Yeezy Gap collaboration is here and it’s, well, interesting. The first release from the long-awaited collection is a sky blue down “Round Jacket” that Yeezy’s been seen rocking as of late in Los Angeles. The Pre-order for the new jacket went live earlier this morning and fans looking to get themselves one paid a modest $200 on Gap.com/yeezy. Interestingly enough the Yeezy “Round Jacket” also perfectly matches adidas’ latest Yeezy release, the Yeezy Boost 700 MNVN “Bright Cyan” colorway that’s been flying off the digital shelves since its drop this past Saturday. It’s almost like if you copped those kicks you have to get the jacket to match. The apparently zipper-less outerwear is also made out of recycled ...
Tina Knowles-Lawson Says Stop The Cap When It Comes To JAY-Z Touching Beyoncé’s Leg, It’s Just A Sign of Affection
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: James Devaney / Getty When it comes to Beyoncé, there are tons of speculations and wild theories about the enigmatic superstar. One, in particular, has to do with her husband, JAY-Z’s tendency to rub her leg, which led to her mama, Tina Knowles-Lawson, clarifying the situation. The Carters stepped out and showed up to Brooklyn to watch the Nets minus James Harden put a game 1 beatdown on the Milwaukee Bucks. While doing their courtside routine, JAY-Z could be seen affectionately caressing his beautiful wife’s leg while watching Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the Nets squad get buckets. Some fans began to speculate that Hov rubs on Yonce’s leg to help her get through a tough time because she allegedly has anxiety. Beyonce’s mama, Tina Knowles-...
Some Of Kanye West’s Illest Signature Sneaker Moments
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Laurent Viteur / Getty Outside of rap, Kanye West’s most revered moves and moments have revolved around debuting sneakers, bogarting Taylor Swift’s Grammy Awards moment, and making some very odd political MAGA maneuvers. Keeping things on sneakers, Kanye West’s panache for having the sneaker community on tilt dates back more than a decade when Kanye began collaborating with the likes of A Bathing Ape, New Balance, then of course, Nike. Having debuted and rocked many samples, prototypes and then unreleased sneakers, Yeezy loves the attention that a simple pair of kicks garners him and with that being the case he even uses them to send messages to the powers that be regardless of their feelings. So on his 44th Born Day, we at HipHopWired have compiled ...
