PICS: Jay-Z’s Rocawear R+ Sneaker
I was just over at Gotty’s and I came across these teaser shots of Jay’s new Rocawear branded R+ sneaker which are due out some time next month.
I can’t imagine any circumstance under which I’d purchase a Rocawear sneaker in any form, but I don’t think these are too bad. They’re at least better than those Filas Gnozir was hawking last year.
Detailed shot after the jump.
Oh, and Takeover > Ether

These don’t look too bad but they’d never get copped.
Brooklyn Mint > Rocawear
Oh shit Dan!!!!! You would not be a happy chappy this evening innit???!!! I was watching, blatent handball in the box, no penalty and as soon as it went up the other end and Essien could only got a leg to the loose ball in the area and it then fell to Iniesta, I knew the game was up. Drogba damn near slapped the ref at the end. Hate to say it but Chelski deserved to win.

I owned a pair of S Dots back in the day

I gotta research the official release date because the lines for these are gonna be crazy!
Great shoe!
WOOOOO
May 6th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
I wasn’t mad at the S.Dot’s when they first dropped, but I can’t really do Reeboks and they didn’t stand the test of time at all.

Nah, if you was watching that and didnt know Barc was gona pull out a W you blind. The ref screwed Chels on a couple penalties but fact is, they left the door wide open and all Barc needed was one. I was surprised it was Iniesta cos I thought he had done a terrible job of fillin Henry’s shoes.
Chelsea deserved that L for not closin the door.

May 7th, 2009 at 3:10 am

>>> Takeover > Ether
You guys are buggin out loud…….I know you’re playin
May 7th, 2009 at 10:15 am
so eskay, why do you use every hov post that has the possibility to make him look corny to take a shot at NaS? Esco must have turned down your gay advances….AGAIN!! and those actually look like the filas too…so this gives you the opportunity to post another like about NaS so you have a reason to stare at his pic…and undress him with your eyes!!
May 7th, 2009 at 10:54 am

May 7th, 2009 at 12:57 pm

May 7th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Co-Sign Takeover >Ether. And also the beat for Takeover >>>>Ether. Nas can’t pick beats to save his marriage.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
i love jigga (no broke back), but you niggas wiggin out…EVERYBODY knows that ether is better…that’s why hov dick riders like eskay can’t let it go…Jay is 10x more sucessful and has HUNDREDS of millions more dollars…but yall still cant accept the fact that NaS won the battle!!
May 8th, 2009 at 2:00 am

May 11th, 2009 at 3:34 am
why do people keep copying the uptown design and calling it “new”…nigga if I want a shoe like that I’ll just go cop the original shit…and not look like a fucking cornball wearing knockoff shit in the process
