by
Beyonce

Searches for Telfar were reportedly higher than Birkin after Beyoncé’s Renaissance mention.

Black-owned independent brand Telfar saw a spike in demand following Beyoncé name dropping the brand in her new song “Summer Renaissance,” off the album Renaissance.

“So elegant and raunchy, this hot couture I’m flaunting. This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them sh*ts in storage. I’m in my bag,” Bey sings. 

According to reports, Telfar soared with an 85% spike in views on the luxury resale site The RealReal. In addition, searches, page views, and “add to bag” clicks spiked 47% on popular resale platform Fashionphile.

Designed by Telfar Clemens, the luxury yet affordable handbags are best known for selling out within minutes of being listed for sale on drop day. The brand offers multiple colors and several size options that retail between $150 and $300.  

Back in July 2021, the 28x GRAMMY Award winner was spotted supporting the Black-owned business donning a white (medium size) Telfar Shopping Bag, which helped launch it more in the spotlight from it’s popularity gained in 2020. Now after the latest mention from Queen Bey there’s no doubt in her ability to influence and define the culture. It’s the Beyoncé effect.

Reebok to Release Question Mid “Blue Toe” from Allen Iverson’s Rookie Year

by
00A0098 V1A

Reebok has formally announced that their iconic Question Mid “Blue Toe,” a notable colorway of Allen Iverson’s first trademark basketball shoe that debuted during his outstanding ’96–97 rookie season, will make a comeback on August 19.

The first Reebok Question Mid would debut in 1996 at the center of a revolution in basketball footwear, but the company’s pitch to a young and ambitious Allen Iverson was about much more than just a pair of shoes – it was about their dedication to “A.I.”

“It was a dream come true,” recalled Iverson. “It was close to the same feeling of when you get drafted. Only a certain amount of people have their own signature shoe; that really means you’re special.”

Since then, the Question Mid has cemented its status as one of the most significant models in sneaker history, a symbol of Reebok’s basketball tradition, and a representative of sports culture’s most enduring legacy.

The Question Mid “Blue Toe” replaced its “OG” predecessor that year and gained notoriety on a March night in 1997 when Philadelphia’s rookie point guard Allen Iverson, sporting the shoe, famously “crossed up” one of basketball’s greatest players. The soles of a renowned sneaker serve as a reminder of that momentous occasion and Iverson’s reckless athleticism.

After 25 years, the Question Mid “Blue Toe” is back with a host of original design features like a tumbled leather upper, blue pearlized leather on the toe box, an ice rubber outsole, ghillie lacing, embroidered Vector logos, the iconic “Q” heel logo, and a specially made rookie Iverson sock liner that comes in OG-inspired Question packaging.

Reebok’s Inquiry Mid “Blue Toe” will be available at Reebok.com/US/Basketball, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Hibbett, and other specialized shops starting on August 19 in full-family sizing. On August 18, Reebok UNLOCKED members will have one-day early access, and on August 12, a select number of pairs will be on sale in-person and online at Packer.

You can see the sneaker below.

Kanye Blasts Adidas For Doing Yeezy Day Without His Approval

by
Ye Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga

Today, August 2, is Yeezy Day at Adidas. Fans of the popular sneaker brand will get another shot at copping some of their favorite Yeezy styles from the last few years. Even though this aligns with West’s vision of making egalitarian clothing and for everybody that wants a pair of Yeezys to get a pair, Kanye basted Adidas for having Yeezy day without his permission.

In an DM to IG user @ChaseSeesGhosts, Ye claimed that Adidas came up with the Yeezy Day idea without his approval, and chose the shoes, picked the colors, named the shoes and stole his other style ideas. Along with going forward with Yeezy Day without Ye’s approval, Kanye also accused Adidas of other shady business practices.

“Adidas made up the Yeezy day idea without my approval then went and brought back older styles without my approval picked color and named them without my approval,” West wrote. “Went and hired people that worked for me without my approval stole my colorways without my approval went and hired a gm of Yeezy without my approval took talent on the production side and sprinkled them throughout adidas originals without my approval.”

Kanye was not finished there. He then accused Adidas of slowing down production on shoes for his Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga collection and lying to Kanye about not being able to manufacture more Yeezy slides but turned around and produced the Adidas slide, which Kanye has come out against, saying that it resembles a Yeezy slide.

“Even though they did a Balenciaga collaboration they completely slowed down production on the shoes me and Demna developed for Gap by trying to bully Gap even though my contract states I can do casual shoes which I was doing when I did fashion shows. When I originally ordered adidas to make more Yeezy slides the GM lied to my face and said they didn’t have the capacity meanwhile adidas was copying my slides and making their own versions of the Yeezy slide,” West said.

Balenciaga Creative Director, Demna, Says The Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga collaboration is Over

by
Kanye West Gap Delay Launch Of Balenciaga Line

Over the weekend, Kanye heads flooded Gap stores around the country after it was announced that the Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga collection would be making its way into stores. Gap’s flagship store in New York City was the first to offer the collection, followed by the rest of the country on Saturday, July 23rd. Vans carrying the merch even popped up in Miami, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

The release of this collection has Kanye fans wondering what the future looks like for the Yeezy Gap partnership. According to Balenciaga’s creative director, Demna, the future of Yeezy Gap will continue without Balenciaga. The designer announced on Monday, July 25, that the Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga partnership is over.

In a statement to eh New York Times, Demna said that the partnership was just step #1 of Ye’s plan for the brand. “This was just step No. 1. He needed a starting point, and that was my challenge: to give him the starting point. But he is still miles and miles away from where he wants this to go,” Demna said.

Ye’s partnership with Gap is a part of his plan to make egalitarian clothing. Ever since his Adidas deal, and even as recent as his now legendary Drink Champs interview, Kanye has stated multiple times that he is against exclusivity and wants everybody who wants a pair of Yeezys or an article of his clothing to be able to have it.

In regards to how successful the Yeezy Gap partnership has been, Kanye took to Instagram where he revealed that he has set the two biggest sales days in Gap history with the release of the “Perfect Hoodie.”

“We’ve had 2 of the biggest sales day in Gap history since I’ve been there. We sold 14 million dollars worth of the perfect black hoodie at 80 dollars a hoodie off of a television commercial that was ran one time. I came to Gap to bring good quality products to the people at all times. Bob I need to meet with you as soon as possible,” Ye said on IG.
