SNEAKER SPOTTED: RIHANNA / JAY-Z / KANYE / FIRST LADY / KERI / STEPH JONES
Tuesday, May 12, 2009

It’s about that time to step your Sneaker game up for this season. Here are some looks that the celebs were spotted in recently. Peep the 1st edition of Sneaker Spotted below:

Pop superstar Rihanna was spotted leaving her hotel last week (the same day those infamous photos leaked) rocking some dope Nike Blazers - Cassette Playas ($160). Riri has always been a Nike blazer fan, we featured her last year rocking some all whites.

Mogul Jay-Z was spotted last week in California rocking some expensive Lanvin High Top Sneakers (in Black and Navy). You definitely have to be ballin’ to drop over $800 on a pair of sneaks without worry. They look dope though.

The homie Kanye West was spotted arriving to Bungalow 8 in NYC a couple weeks ago, rocking his popular Nike Air Yeezy’s. These shoes are hot right now and can run you $400+. Damn Ye!! I’m still wondering where my pair are.

First Lady Michelle Obama joined the sneaker crew, when she rock’d these $540 pair of Lanvin Cap Toe Sneakers at a volunteer event last month in Washington D.C. These are definitely too girly for my taste, but the First Lady rocks them nicely.

Singer/Songwriter Keri Hilson was spotted rocking some special edition ADIDAS (by designer Jeremy Scott), while on a promo run in London a couple of weeks ago. These will run you for about $160-$180 at select shops. Keri is a self-proclaimed sneaker head and is always spotted rocking the latest.

Last but not least, up and coming singer Steph Jones was spotted in Beverly Hills last week rocking some FILA ‘Biella lingua Straps’ in black and gold. These go for $100 bucks a pair. Back the in the day, I would rock FILA’s all the time. Glad to see they are back on the come up.

$845 for a pair of snickers??! OMG! I don’t wear them so I don’t look at the price often but I thought they had shoes for $200 or less for Mike Jordan etc but never have I ever seen or expected to see tennis shoes for $845… Seriously! Now I am a serious shoe buyer but my sandals and shoes have never cost more than $300 because that’s all I can afford… But this $845 really is shocking me! Is this what my 2 month old little girl is going to expect me to buy her when she grows up??? I better complete my master degree and consider going for my PHD as obviously my bachelor’s degree is not enough… WOW.

Man.!! Im such a sneaker fan, it doesnt make any since. And by me being such a big fan, I would go out and spend $800,$1000 or even more on a pair of sneakers. Why not.? If you have the money and can afford them, then its nothing to you.!
Im really feeling the ones Rihanna have on…you never know i mite jst cop me a pair, soon as I leave the site.! LoL

Tuesday, May 12, 2009 /
Wow, Jay spend 800$ on this sneakers. I just read beyonce is ver fruggal and some handbags are already expensive for her. WOW, this 2 doesnt match at all. I guess JIgga has to pay her bills. lol

Just because you can afford $800+ shoes doesn’t mean you have to buy it….there’s no investment in that whatsoever…

@ 40. I beg to differ. First of all, never heard of that site until now. 2nd of all we always post what people rock. For instance here is a sneaker post I did a YEAR ago. http://concreteloop.com/2...ashion-picks-nike-blazers
I just checked out that blog, pretty dope. But it looks like they stole CL’s “Who Rock’d It Better” to me… Things to make you go hmmmmm.

RIGHT! @ #28! & Why do people always say somethin about Rihanna has a stylist blah blah blah. MOST Celebs have stylists! I don’t blame them spending that much money on kicks. They got it & they’re not gonna miss. Besides you only live once.

Am I looking at the same ppl? I’m sorry but Rihanna looks tacky! I hate those Pepto-Bismol a** shoes..
Jay-Z looks fly but what’s up w/that necklace? & The AirYeezy’s…those make ppl’s feet look gigantic.
It’s so cute to see the First Lady in sneaks! Lol
ROTFL @ Keri’s shoes, and FILAs? *dead*
I mix it up from heels to flats or sneaks, you name it. You have to know what you’re doing. & I didn’t know sneakers actually made some ppl’s feet hurt. :/
