According to a report from TMZ, federal agents seized $4.3 million worth of bootleg Yeezys and Jordans at the Texas/Mexico border on their way into Mexico.

U.S Customs and Border Protection reported that the shipment contained 1,800 pairs of fake limited edition Dior X Air Jordan 1, which sell in stores for $2,000 per pair.

The agents believe that the shoes were made and shipped from China. They said that the poor packaging and poor quality of the sneakers tipped them off. They also contend that fake Nikes and Adidas were included in the shipment as well.

No one was arrested with the shipment.

Chicagoans Kanye West and Derrick Rose have linked up.

While in the midst of an inharmonious presidential campaign and fighting to keep his family together, Kanye West continues to do what he does best: create. The Yeezy CEO took to Twitter recently to reveal a collaboration with one of Chicago’s most coveted athletic figures. Ye dropped a sample of the upcoming “YZY x D Rose” sneaker. Seeing two of Chi town’s finest come together is one of a kind. Rose’s girlfriend, Aliana took to Instagram to reveal the new kicks on foot.

More to come… 😬😜😅

In addition to his collaboration, Ye revealed a number of pictures on Twitter inciting more forthcoming Yeezy ideas

After coming into the NBA at No. 1, Derrick Rose quickly became a top tier player winning rookie of the year. In his 3rd season, Rose made history after becoming the youngest player to win regular-season MVP at age 22. Following his early success, Rose signed an illustrious 14-year contract with Adidas worth $185 million. Although the peak of his career was rear-ended by consecutive injuries, he continued to persevere. Now the 3x all-star is heading into his 13 seasons as a Detroit Piston.

There is no word on when to expect the new “DZY” footwear. Although some may call its aesthetic bizarre, it is only a sample.

Virgil Abloh Announces $1 Million Scholarship Fund for Black Fashion Students

Leave a comment

VirgilAblohClarifiesLootingRemarks,$Donation

Virgil Abloh is looking to redeem himself. The Off-White CEO was comically condemned by Black Twitter after matching a $50 donation against racial injustice and systematic oppression. Many took the incident to coin the phrase keeping it “Two Virgils,” which became a hit in trending topics.

Since the incident, the Louis Vuitton Men’s Director has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes. He recently took to Instagram to announce the “POST-MODERN” Scholarship Fund. The initiative will serve as a catalyst in helping Black students in fashion.

“anyone that’s ever been in a meeting with me or a creative brainstorm or even a random iMessage chat knows that i’m forever fighting for the “17-year-old-version” of myself,” said the Chicago designer. “⁣what that specifically means is… all i want is for any young black kid to achieve a shorter path to their career goals, and if i can help with an open source approach to opening doors or messaging “how-i-did-it” along the whole way, then i’ve done my real job, not my actual job.⁣”

Abloh even went on to add that he is keeping it many Virgils and not just two. His overall goal is to set a precedent that many people in his industry can follow.

“i’m putting money, my resources, and my rolodex where my mouth is… just keeping it “Two Virgil’s” or more accurately “That many Virgil’s” in the slideshow above: i’ve started a scholarship fund for black students and raised $1 million so far, pre-announcement with the same manic creative brainstorm that got me here with the support of some of my collaborators and the @fashionscholarshipfund it’s called the Virgil Abloh™ “POST-MODERN” scholarship fund,” he continued.

The 39-year-old designer holds massive influence in fashion and creative direction. Thus, the resources and Rolodex he speaks of stretches beyond one’s imagination. So far he has tapped in Farfetch, Evian, Louis Vuitton, and more to help raise money. The scholarship fund will be managed in partnership with the Fashion Scholarship Fund (FSF). The non-profit organization is renowned for its fashion-oriented merit, making them a perfect match in this effort.

Leave a comment

KanyeWestReportedlyDonates$MtoAhmaudArbery,BreonnaTaylor,andGeorgeFloyd'sFamilies

Kanye West is taking Gap to the next level. West returned to Twitter early Friday morning to make a huge announcement. The first was a picture that the Yeezy CEO captioned “#WestDayEver.” Little did we know, that Ye had just revealed a sneak peek at the first Yeezy-Gap collection.

Two hours later, the creative guru officially informed the world of his newly formed partnership. According to The New York Times, West scored a 10-year partnership with the worldwide clothing retailer.

Over the past 6 years, Ye has worked strategically diligently to make Yeezy the most in-demand footwear brand in the world. The fruits of his labor are now full display. According to Forbes, or Kanye will simply tell you himself, Yeezy is currently worth 1.3 billion dollars. The company’s wealth has accumulated due to the increase in sneaker sales.

Kanye West is set to bring the co-branded line of apparel to life in 2021, designing for men, women, and kids. On his debut album, the multi-Grammy Award-winning rapper told stories about his time at the Gap as an employee.

“I’m the Gap like Banana Republic and Old Navy,” says West in his debut album’s outro, “Last Call.” Now Ye has bridged a gap to bring the falling retailer back to life.
