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.
