FASHION PICKS: NIKE BLAZERS

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

I’ve always been a sneaker chick myself, so when I see stars rocking the latest, I have to do a post on it. So far this month, those Retro Nike Blazers have been popping back up on various celebs..

First up, Jay-Z. Anything he wears always brings in a bunch of emails. As for the ones above, we have the Nike Blazer High’s in White, Black, Metallic Gold and Orange. Coming in at $74.99.

Next up, we have Rihanna. The singer was spotted at the airport a couple weeks ago rocking some All-White Nike Blazer Lows. You can get these for about 70 bucks at various online shops..

Last but not least, we have Bobby Brown rocking his Black, Metallic and Red versions of The Nike Blazer Highs. Same as Jay’s but different color.

Anything OLD A$$ Jay Z wears brings in a bunch of emails!????? He needs to DRESS HIS DAMN AGE n not like a young guy in his 20’s.

I guess he’s trying to look young for B.

Like Jay’s kicks best–the colors are dope. Rihanna’s are plain. If I wanted plain white sneaks, I’d stick with my forces. And Bobby’s colors ruin the shoe for me, so me no likey.

I’m usually not one of these people who say Jay Z dresses too young, but in these pics he looks like the hip hop grandpa/uncle in a stereotypical black movie.
hate Rihanna in sneakers…she’s already got a masculine build…she should think that over, especially with that hair cut. love Disturbia though.

I concur with those of you who say J should dress his age. I mean I know his a rapper and all but you damn near pushing 40 dressing like these young kids. Lyfe said it best 30 is not the new 20!!! You gotta grow up. I mean for someone who is constantly saying he’s maturing he stay in that young ish. I mean he keeps saying he’s hanging with Bill Gates and his this and that. Jay steady trying to live in both worlds. Y is he still rocking the sagging Jeans??

Blazers have been hot for more than a year now… and I feel Jay always dresses according to the function..He dressed up alittle on Charlie Rose and Larry King….what’s he supposed to wear when he’s chillin? It’s not like he went to a business meeting … even Chris Rock and Will Smith rock a similar casual look….Dockers are about 20 years away…

21.

skinny jeans ain’t for every man. Fall back, style is not an issue for Hov…

Scorpio

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

Let me get this right, dressing in a t-shirt, jeans and a pair of sneaks is “too young”. Exactly what do you want to see him wear when he’s just being casual? If y’all want to tell somebody to dress their age start with LL, he’s at the TOP of the list. Some of y’all will find anything to bitch about, just to try and compensate for your own insecurities. Sad

yes a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers WORN THIS WAY is too young for a guy his age. It’s all in the interpretation..Just like I wouldn’t look twice if I saw a middle-aged woman getting along on a warm day in a tank and shorts, but what if she’s wearing a top covered in glitter and shorts with pink stars? Mariah Carey is an example…the stuff she wears is not age appropriate (and it’s tacky, but that’s not the issue) and it’s not because she only wears skimpy stuff, people only think that… it’s because she doesn’t wear skimpy stuff the way she should. I couldn’t even make a list of the random Hollywood women who go out in very short dresses/shorts…Jada, Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler, Eva Langoria, Heidi Klum, Gabrielle Union…all these women are in their thirties and yet we don’t taunt them like Mariah because they know how to pull off a skin tight dress…what shoes to wear, what jewelry…what hair… Mariah doesn’t. And trust me…Jay Z recognizes the difference…he started the Jerry Seinfeld look for rappers. lol And it was hot! Even in the pictures from vacation he dressed that way…sometimes even in twill shorts… so I think we have a point when we say he looks too young now…he’s dressed like a kid.

Whats Jay supposed to wear?! A suit all day?! Jeans, Tee & Kicks are not ‘dressing young’! Stop Hatin’!

Love Bobby B’s kicks..colours are nice!

Thank you #31, I was gonna say the same thing. They been around for a minute. Rhianna is a prime example of when your feet are of a certain size, ALL white sneakers are a no-no. I HATE to see a man in sneakers.

37.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

Jay is always fly and dresses appropriately for each occasion. You guys need to get off the age thing. It’s a feeling. Some 20 year olds should not wear some of the things they wear because of their bodies. And you guys know he is not trying to look young. You know this is totally his style. It’s about what you feel. If you see him in loafers you guys would say “that is not him”.

38.

I just recently copped a pair of Blazers. They’re hot.

I like Rihanna’s look with the Blazers, she looked nice when she wore the black blazers w/ the white Nike sign too.

Jay & Bobby’s Blazers are hot!

Finally, a fashion post that I can afford lol. I love Nikes I really do and I’m young so I’m still in my kicks phase, soon I will be rocking high heels but my campus is on a giant hill and I’m not trying to walk to class in some heels lol. Idk if I would get Jay Z’s or Bobby Brown’s version. The bottom of the shoe looks really thick but I do like Rihanna’s. I would stick to some low tops and something w/ some colors. The shoes you posted were cute though Tianna. What website would I go to though?

Piet’s and Bobby’s are the only ones I’ll be down with…. thanks tho.

Interesting that folks say that Jay was dressed too “young” but not Bobby! They are in the same age range wearing similar outfits.
Jay dresses fly and can switch it up from casual to formal in a heartbeat. It’s hip-hop style and since he’s in the age group that created it….sorry young’uns but yes, we did….then he, Will, and everyone else can keep doing what they do. There is a way to wear things and Jay has it. I have sometimes criticized dudes who wear a hoodie everywhere, but Jay knows how to wear what’s appropriate for the event. I’ve seen dudes who wear the same thing all the time for everything and that’s wack. He’s far better than, say, LL, who’s stuck in a time warp.
I love to see guys who are comfortable and look good both casual and dressy. It kills me how young’uns try to tell folks how to dress. Who sets the standard? Style has become more universal overall, so get over it.
Look at Halle - she wears things that chicks 20 years younger would wear and looks great. ‘Cause if you can rock it with style, it really doesn’t matter.
As for Mariah, though, she deserves the criticism. But it’s not about age. She’s just plain tacky and always has been. What she wears is tacky when you’re 19.

42.

UM...I GUESS

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

oooo i have to get some!
i love jay’s pair

43.

Kellz

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

I didn’t notice Jay’s pants was sagging until #18, so thanks. You’re right… that’s shit is NOT cute. I refuse to waste a look on a guy if his pants isn’t over his ass. ALTHO you pointed out a good argument, I agree w/ #20. Jay dresses his age because his outfits depend on the occasion. He can wear a suit and jean/t-shirt but at least he knows when to wear what. That’s mature enough for me. You have to remember, he’s from the hood. Jeans and a tee IS his relaxed look lol.

45.

Rake

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

#41 Ummm, naaahhh. I still think a tee, baggy jeans, and coordinated sneakers is too young for a guy in his thirties (actually for a guy in his mid-twenties too…). And nobody criticized Bobbi because he smokes crack. hahah!

To answer the questiion on whats Jat suppose to wear on a causal day. Hoa about: A nice polo or polo style shirt some Fitted but nt tight jeans, and some Lacoste or talierd typle sneakers. That SPEAKS MATURE 40ISH!

I am a shoe and handbag girl so I know many alternative sneakers out there that are HOT without looking like and ordinary young hood boy.

For example some ya mi gu chi or whatever designer for those expensive Puma’s. Big name disigners make gret snakers also he can try that, start a new trend and LOOK HIS AGE ALL AT THE SAME TIME. SO THERE!

OMG!!!! I am a sneaker addict i am in love with those oink/lime and dark brown kicks I need to cop those that is real talk.

I do agree with those who say Jay dresses for a particular occasion, what do you want him to wear when he is chilling a three piece tux? and look who he is marrried to… B is at least twelve years younger so obviously she has some influence on him. IMO he looks ten times better when he is rocking a suit, and you can say the same thing about Diddy, JD, LL, and Common who are all in their 30’s and still rock gear on the regular. I find it odd that no one says anything about how Russell Simmons dresses. I have NEVER seen Russell Simmons in a suit, he always sticks to the same tired dress code Phat Farm hat, jeans and a sweater set and kicks and he is pushing like 50 so what do y’all think of that?

@ # 34..BITCH ,SHUT THE FUCK UP..WHETHER A MAN IS IN HIS 20’s OR HIS 40′S, A TEE SHIRT, JEANS ,AND SNEAKERS (NIKE) WILL ALWAYS BE HOT ..ITS JUST LIKE ANY SPORTS ATHLETE ( WHO NORMALLY THE SNEAKERS ARE NAMED AFTER) DRESS THE SAME WAY..SO WHATS WRONG WIT IT. WHAT DO U EXPECT HIM TO WEAR WHEN HE IS JUST CHILLIN OR SHOPPING?? YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO FIND A REASON TO HATE ON JAY!!

HOT KICKZ

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

PEOPLE SAYING JAY DRESSING YOUNG ARE LOST. Does Russell dress too young? What about Chris Louboutin, The Edge, Frankie Beverly (MAZE), Mr. T, Chuck D, LL, Dr. Dre, Tommy Lee, Puff, Lars (Metallica), Noel Gallagher, Chris Martin, Mathew Knowles, Steven Spielberg, Spike Lee, etc. (I COULD GO ON, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON). All the above are older than Jay (some by years - LL and Puff are 1-2 years younger, but same age range) and ALL WEAR T-SHIRTS, JEANS AND SNEAKERS ON A REGULAR BASIS. There’s no difference is wearing a polo shirt or a t-shirt. They’re both considered casual - polo shirts come in striped, plaid, plain or abstract (WHICH JAY ALSO ROCKS IN FLAVORS) and t-shirts’ artwork can range from any design to any metallics or any quality material which a lot of times can be classier than the all amercian polo shirt. DON’T HATE ON JAY BECAUSE HE HAS MORE FLAIR AND FLAVOR THAT HIS CLOTHES GARNER ATTENTION and aren’t shabby chic. Women in their 40’s and 50’s can still wear mini skirts because they make them AGE APPROPRIATE and if you have decent legs - FLAUNT IT. That’s a fashion fact. HE IS DRESSING APPROPRIATELY - THERE’S NO AGE LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN WEAR. JAY’S STYLE IS BEYOND VERSATILE - HE GIVES YOU FLAVOR FROM SUITS TO STREET WEAR. DON’T HATE THE PLAYER OR THE GAME. That being said…..

JAY’S KICKZ ARE HOT TO DEATH!!!! This dude stay on point with the gear - he always has. I really dig his style. Always poppin’ tags - fresh to death.
Rihanna’s NOTHING SPECIAL - WHY EVEN LIST THOSE? You can show anybody sporting Rod Laver’s for that matter - no flavor here whatsoever - stop jocking this no talent having chick.
BOBBY’s kickz are alright - more flavor than Rihanna’s anyway.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

#43, how do you know that Jay’s pants is sagging? I don’t see the waist under his butt, or his underpants showing. It could just be a crease in the pants for all we know, because of its size.

59.

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

I get you Hot Kickz! But Puff is actually older that Jay, by a month though.

#34 RAKE
Again, he dressed according to what he was doing. He was on vacation, it was hot, and he wore things you would see on a Yacht. Steve Jobs wore jeans, a v-neck sweater, and NIKE AIR Pegasus on the cover of TIME magazine. Jay is Hip-Hop, ala Russell Simmons. Seinfeld can be seen on Hollywood Blvd rockin jeans and sneaks… just a different swag. Still doesn’t look too young to me considering his job and what he’s doing.

#20..i agree with u - “what’s he supposed to wear when he’s chillin? It’s not like he went to a business meeting … even Chris Rock and Will Smith rock a similar casual look….”

i mean is he supposed to wear a three piece suit, bow tie and suspenders to the store. let that man b chill. i know ppl older than him that still dress “young”. i think he does dress his age. when it is tym for a suit he def dresses the part. and yall know J can wear a suit…and when its tym to relax he wears his jeans and tees. i c nothn wrong with the way he dresses. hes not walkn around with just a beater on and jeans sagn by his knees lookn all dirty lyk sum of the young dudes yall comparing him to. so let the man do him.

O and his sneakers…nyc!…Rih Rih’s…aight….Bobby’s look lyk Bowln shoes!

66.

DVYNEDVA

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 /

and # 10…i completely agree with wat u said “I’m not a sneaker fan (more on 4inch heels or higher) but those are HOT!”

i wear a size 6 1/2 and i still dont wear heels under 4 inches….ABSOLUTELY LOVE HEELS!!!!!!
