I Will Not Lose – Rocawear new Fall Fashion Push

I Will Not Lose Fall 2007 Campaign

Ciara’s new Ads Here

 

What is the next step for Rocawear? Rocawear’s I Will Not Lose campaign is in full swing. I like Rocawear and I am a fan (not a Stan) of Jay-Z. I didn’t like Rocawear in the past, but now it seems more grown. In other words people who are over 25 can wear it and not look like they trying to still be in high school.

Anyway, lets start the review, shall we? (more…)

Kia Shine Starts Sneaker Line :: Hip-Hop Review

Here is a quote from the site on this:

Kia Shine is already letting fans in on his fashion sense. The Memphis native, whose major label debut, Due Season, hit stores July 31, is helping fans stay krispy thanks to his newly launched sneaker collection, Traffik Jamz.

Prices for the high-end sneaker collection range from $350 to $850. The tricked out kicks feature flashy bling and can be personalized.

Also the words “swaggerful” and “Krispy” come up. The website isn’t open yet so I don’t know what they officially look like. I have only seen one picture and they look like hooked up Nike’s. Well until the site shows what it these sneakers look like, I am not going to say much.

A user asked me on another blog post way back in July about what sneakers is she wearing in this video. Well, I can’t tell which style name it is, but the brand name is Converse.. or maybe Keds… probably Keds since its a Rocawear thing.

Going on the hunch that the Roc is behind this (even though they really look like Converses), I look on Rocawear’s site for current stuff (yes the video is mad old). Nope. Rocawear only showing ProKeds Roc style not the canvas ones.

Went to ProKeds site (totally taken over by Hip Hop with background music by Dame Dash? LOL) . I went to the vintage are (womens first and then men) and no.

Since it can’t be Pro Keds, I am CONVINCED that it must have been Converse. That helps a little cause I can look at the hard to find womens sneakers on Zappos andConverse’s website and I think I see the color…
