Cardi B x Reebok

Who’s copping a pair? The lid has been on TIGHT in regards to this latest shoewear development between hip hop royal, Cardi B and the iconic street shoe brand, Reebok. However, just this week, sneaker heads and Cardi fans were treated to a little sneak peek; proving that the Cardi B x Reebok collab is in fact about to be on and in full effect!

Cardi B x Reebok – The Hot New Deal Bringing Shoes and Apparel!

In a very teasing manner the Reebok, Reebok Classic and Cardi B social platforms released a Boomerang gif of Cardi in a new shoe; with a caption advertising the “Cardi-bok.” For those, who wanted additional information, the pages served up a link to the Reebok website with the promise of finding out more.

SAVE YOURSELF A CLICK (Lol). It’s a total clickbait and you will not even find as much as paragraph with a description of the upcoming collaboration. NEVERTHELESS, what you will find if interested is a sign up page to be the first to find out more about the upcoming Cardi sneaker.

Signing up is simple and no different than most brands. All it requires is you name, email address and birth date. Fill it out and you will be “in the know.”

As one can see, details currently are quite scarce but word on the street is that 26-year-old Cardi will have a hand in helping to resurrect and promote the brand’s “Aztrak” design. Also, do you like that track suit Cardi is rocking? Well, you soon you could be adding to your closet because the Reebok partnership also promises new apparel.

This is certainly a good look for Cardi B as the race for rap dominance continues to be a hot topic. Cardi joins the ranks of Missy Elliott, Pharrell, and Beyoncé hubby Jay Z as artists who have inked a deal with Reebok. Moreover, so far Cardi’s collabs from Steve Madden to Marc Jacobs have been super successful. Therefore, there is no reason to expect that this one will be any different.

How did Nike achieve more air? Their new shoe contains a cushioning system which provides the wearer with more bounce as well as flexibility. Moreover, there are absolutely no additional structural elements (no foam layer) which results in nothing but air being found underfoot. Cool right?

Well, making a an awesome product is one thing. However, choosing the right face and personage to market such product is another. Nike shared why chose model Winnie Harlow to bring the Vapormax to the masses. Nike states,

“When you refuse to be held down by convention, even the ground starts feeling a lot like Air. Whether she’s killing the runway or challenging perceptions of beauty in her industry, Winnie Harlow defies standards to set her own. Measure up to yourself, never others. Nike Air Vapor Max Asphalt is here.”

We are always happy to see more models of color have the opportunity shine bright in a brand’s ad campaign. Winnie Harlow is just as excited about this particular accomplishment. Harlow explains,

“I can’t believe this… I have a Nike campaign. One of my ultimate goals in life and I really didn’t think I’d accomplish it so soon. But by the grace of God, I am really apart of the Nike family and I’m so honored.

I’ve seen my face on billboards and in Times Square and it’s always such a special feeling. But my heart jumped when I passed Nike and saw my hard work plastered and blown up for everyone to see on the inside and outside of the stores. Thank you guys for continuing to allow me to inspire. Thank you to my team for believing in me and thank Nike for welcoming me to the Fam.”

Kevin Hart Debuts Nike “Hustle Hart” On Jimmy Fallon

Kevin Hart Debuts Nike "Hustle Hart" On Jimmy Fallon

As much as we enjoy Jimmy Fallon performing with The Roots using musical toy instruments; last night’s Kevin Hart fashion moment was pretty cool as well. Hart showed off his kicks which are part of a collaboration with Nike due to be released later this year. At this point of time an exact date of the sneaker release is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, shoe industry experts are pinning a date for the collection for this coming April.

With the release Hart would become the very first actor/comedian/entertainer to ink a deal with Nike. What name has Kevin chosen to give to his shoes? Hart can definitely say that he ‘started from the bottom’ and hustled his way to stardom. Therefore, Kevin Hart’s trainers have been fittingly named, “Hustle Hart.” So far two colors have been showcased for the Nike Hustle Hart, red and blue.

For a project such as this consumer reaction as well as opinion is key. We took to the gram to get an early indication of what potential buyers may be currently thinking. Here are a few comments we gathered:

“Copping those.”

“Lol we need those.”

“They really aren’t that bad.”

“This gotta be Nike’s response to Ye.”

“These are dope.”

So far it looks like Nike and Kevin are on their way to a really big pay day. Congrats to Kevin Hart we wish you much fashion success and hope that this collaboration inspires others to Hustle Hart… oops we mean hard.

Rihanna Showcases The New PUMA Eskiva

Rihanna Showcases The New PUMA Eskiva5

Looking to take your shoe game to a whole other level? Then, it is time to look to the badgal herself for the pair of sporty sneaks that you are going to want to cop before the holiday rush. Rihanna can be seen flying high in PUMA’s latest release, the PUMA Eskiva.

Now we are only going to warn all the sneaker heads and kicks lovers out there once. If you want to get your hands on these bad boys you better put your bids in now. Remember Rihanna’s Creeper shoes sold out in just three hours! Of course, it is of note that the Eskiva is not a collaboration between Rihanna and the popular brand. Rihanna is a brand ambassador with creative director responsibilities, however, in this case Rihanna is just on modeling duty.

Nevertheless, everything that Rihanna seems to touch seems to sale. Therefore, do not sleep on the Eskivas or you may be watching your friends walking around in them instead.

Personally, we are fans of the Eskiva Hi design because of its more modern feel and look than the average sneaker. However, there is a Mid style for those who are feeling the Eskiva but prefer a more normal shoe height. Check out a few more photos below and be advised that the shoe is available for purchase.

Fashionable Mention: Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol Collection

Fashionable Mention Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Andy Warhol Collection

This collection made its debut earlier in the year and we were curious as to how it would be received. Personally, we thought the collection was in a word… cool. Being lovers of art and fashion it seemed to be a match made in style heaven. Converse coming together with the genius that was Andy Warhol.

Who just was Andy Warhol you ask? Warhol was an American artist who revolutionized what we now call pop art. Andy enjoyed seeing the artistic marriage between pop as well as celebrity culture and 1960’s advertisement.

Fashionable Mention Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Andy Warhol Collection2

One shoe from the Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Andy Warhol collection that we still get a kick out of and that is still retailing strong is the Campbell’s Soup rendition. Maybe its because it gives us flashbacks to childhood or that it is simply epic to see a famous painting come to fashion life. It also makes us think of an old dance video…

Kendrick Lamar Wants to End Gang Rivalry Through Fashion

Kendrick Lamar Wants to End Gang Rivalry Through Fashion

Some of us were either too little or not even alive to remember all the horrors and violence that surrounded two rival gangs… the Bloods and the Crips. However, for those that witnessed the blood spilled out between the two it is a war that you probably will never forget. Things have been much calmer than in times past, but the problem is that both gangs still exist. Where there is a flame there can come to be a fire so it is best to snuff out any remnants. Therefore, can true peace finally be achieved between these two long-time enemies?

Kendrick Lamar Wants to End Gang Rivalry Through Fashion3

Hip hop artist Kendrick Lamar would like to think so and has even taken action to bring on the unity, something Queen Latifah rapped about back in the day. Lamar is using fashion to make a statement. Kendrick Lamar has teamed up with the good people at Reebok to create the Ventilator “Blue & Red” Sneaker that will debut on July 18th. The sneakers have a very simple and neutral design with the exception of having the two signature colors of the Bloods (red) and Crips (blue). Could it be so easy that a little fashion could end a hateful rivalry between two L.A. gangs? Only time will tell, but its nice to see someone aiming for a better tomorrow.
