I Bought Kanye’s New Favourite $1300 Balenciaga Shoe

[@jonathankulesa]

I remember back in the day, 2010 to be exact, when Kanye's favorite shoe was the Jordan 6 black/varsity red... I remember him only wearing that colorway of the 6's for the longest time... He also showed that he had *plenty* in stock, so that he'd always have a fresh pair...

Elliot, I love your content and personality. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. However, there is one thing bothering me, it's the autofocus on your camera. May I suggest you get some with a faster autofocus, like a Sony? Thanks! And keep up the good work!

[@elliotpage_]

Appreciate it! Yeah i have a Sony A7iii so I don’t think it’s the cameras fault, probably more me. Will fix it!

[@PlumbNumbs]

I thought I would've noticed, but I really don't see it. Just curious if you could post some timestamps so I can see what you're talking about

Whenever he showed the shoes to the camera it was out of focus and took it away just when the camera adjusted…amazing work mate, top job

[@Syahidsahoarder]

For a clearer comparison. It feels like walking out with carbon plated running shoes. Aesthetically, this goes back to the 2010s with adidas springblade and bounce system. I say it’s an incredibly unique sneaker. Shape is good height is good. Say these a solid 7 given that it won’t be very healthy for you in the long run

[@glennsmith8200]

Regarding these, I've got a feeling if I was younger I'd have definitely tried these. They remind me of when I first discovered V.Westwood, Jean P Gaultier, and Michiko Koshino in the early 90's. No doubt people stared at me thinking "WTF has he got on" I think the FR's and the 450's are about as far as I can go now, good luck to anyone who wants to wear these just not for me. Love your content Elliot, cheers!

[@rayaan6951]

@N Braithwaite LMFAO Kanye literally mentored Demna Gvasalia who is the current creative director of Balenciaga, and he practically made Virgil Abloh who's the creative director of Louis Vuitton. He's worked with Fendi and he's designed the famous double zipper sneaker by Giuseppe Zanotti, who's one of the best designers of heels period. Put aside your prejudice and blind nonsensical biases and read the facts. Kanye has had and will continue to have a massive role in high fashion. This thread is full of morons it's hilarious

[@GRIMSREVENGE253]

That's the thing... The same problem the N.B.A. is having is the same problem that shoe is having. People who are now in charge of both have "ZERO" clue what people who play real basketball or real sports want because none of them do it. It like taking me to an airport and letting me watch planes take off for hours and then be like.... Well Grim, now it's your turn to fly a plane. I have a very new concept for a show that's mind blowing but first before the design I want to make sure all the things I hated about other gym shoes are fix with mines. Like how the rubber on the bottom of the shoe melts away and leaves holes when you play a lot of ball outside. "HOW WOULD SOMEBODY WHO NEVER PLAYED LIKE THAT OUTSIDE KNOW THIS?" We live in a world of make a crap product and over charge for it and it's pretty disgusting. GRIM

[@rxonmymind8362]

Couple points on these shoes. I feel as though these can be broken in eventually this making the spring softer getting a better bounce. Looks as though the heel/midsole can be redone forever as long as it doesn't break. This shoe definitely has potential disregarding the price point. If these were in the $400 neighborhood I'd give them a go. Interesting shoe. First time here thanks for the review.
