Kendrick Lamar Debuts His New Reebok Sneaker (1/16 $90)...Aims To Unify Blood & Crips

[Poh SIti Dawn]

I like the idea...

But those shoes are basic as fukk


Like some shyt you see overweight cac nurses wearing with their scrubs

I think that's the problem with most people.

Y'all want something that gives you swag, you want to stand out so bad

Like kurupt said "you gotta have a jag to have swag, I just walk in and the jag is the swag".

The shoes are clean and simple. Like white air forces.

Like Juvie said "n*ggas is wearing Reebok instead of Nike's and timbaland"

Straighten up ya soulja rag

Yea... People and Folk are an expansion of Crips and Bloods aren't they?

Nah...Folk/People been around since the 60s. I don't think Bs & Cs in LA do the right v left thing really. In a place like Memphis they do b/c they have an influence from LA and Chicago.

 

[blizzard man]

i mean, bloods and crips would have to rock them tho right? is that gonna happen?

YG, nipsey, or Q need to be putting these shoes out, not kendrick tho

Naw in L.A. they do, that's why I thought BD was Bloods. All the nikkaz I see here Lil Rock that claim BD throw Blood up all day

YG and them still bang/claim their sets, Kendrick is trying to promote unity so it kinda makes sense for him to be sponsoring these kicks

yeah but wouldn't it make more sense from folks inside the gangs to promote that unity? YG still bangs, but he also said in a Fader interview that he still chills/interacts with crips as well. I feel like itd be a more substantive move to try to promote that gang unity, by having actual gang members co-sign it, compared to using kendrick, who has general affiliations, but doesnt rep either side.

ultimately tho, i feel like if bloods and crips arent the ones buying/wearing this shoe, then the goal is ultimately meaningless, but ill let em cook

Photographer was like . . "I have a wonderful idea. We'll bring him to the hood and take pictures of him walking around . it'll be edgy"

 

[Unknown Poster]

This is the only answer...

See what I did there?

But, yeah, I liked the ventilators, original pumps, etc...there are some good reebok models, but the colorway of these kendrick lamar joints is so boring...

outside of the retro shaqs and barkleys nobody wears reeboks
