3/8/16 O&A NYC WITH WaleStylez FASHION: Kanye Spotted Wearing New Yeezy Boosts at LAX Airport
By Adewale Adekanbi Jr.
While it’s still unclear whether the low-top Yeezy Boost from Season 3 will be an updated 350 or the new rumor 550 version, Kanye was photographed at LAX airport wearing a pair of the sneakers that have been making the rounds lately. The kicks appear slightly higher than the 350s around the ankles and don’t include the heel tab, making us wonder if this is an entirely new silhouette altogether. The brown and tan shoes also feature a bright orange stripe running along the upper, giving it a distinct look from its more neutral predecessors.

3/3/16 O&A NYC WITH WaleStylez Fashion: GucciGhost Walks The Catwalk At The Gucci 2016 Fashion Show
By Adewale Adekanbi
Gucci-Ghost, otherwise known as Trouble Andrew, is a NYC-based graffiti artist that made his name by spray painting his stylized take on Gucci’s double G logo pattern on walls and dumpsters around his neighborhood.
But rather than suing his irreverent ass into financial oblivion, the Italian fashion house enlisted him as a collaborator for its FW16 collection.
Ghost’s tags appeared on Gucci carrier bags and on pieces throughout the new seasonal range. Another example of urban art effecting the mainstream fashion industry.

2/22/16 O&A NYC WITH WaleStylez- FASHION: Nike Air To Release Cruz Black Cement
By Adewale Adekanbi
New York Giant Wide Receiver Victor Cruz’s signature sneaker gets a Black Cement treatment inspired by the Air Jordan 3. In the past, Cruz has mentioned the Air Jordan 3 as one of his favorite sneaker, which explains the similar colorway on the next release.
Although Safari dresses these up nicely instead of cement print, you can still see the obvious nod on the uppers. Tumbled leathers and smooth collars finish these off nicely, alongside the Nike Air tongue.
The sneaker will be coming to a retailer near you soon.
