wale-kanye

Months after they’ve dropped, celebrity sneaker heads are still rocking Kanye West’s Louis Vuitton Dons to award shows and other places where they know cameras are going to snap. Sure, it makes sense for Kanye to wear his own brand, but DC-spitter Wale also felt the need to rock the expensive low-tops and pair them up with a bow-tie. Our bad for not hooking you up with this match-up on Friday, but better late than never right? Hit us up in the comments and let us know who rocked the sneakers better.

    YE got it!
    asmuch as i hate sayin it, sometimes simple is the best look. plus Wale looks extra dry in the face, like he smokes too much green. come on man, presentation is part of the “look”. you can’t just dress nice and look like a damn monster in the face.

  • REG

    wale should win but it’s kanye shoes so… we don,t need to talk more on that

  • andrew

  • bill

    too bad wale look ugly. wale woulda got it but he ugly.

  • Noah

    Who ever thinks Wale is foolish, He is Trying his Hardest and h successfully looks like a fool. Kanye killed it w/ simplicity, which alot of people tend to forget simple is better in some circumstances. When you try hard you die hard. RIP Wale.

  • Romeo

    Plus if kanye wanted to wear a jean jacket he should’ve worn matching jeans

  • SNEAKER FETISH 23

    WALE FROM MARYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MikeGameCrazy

    of course simplicity wins buttt y u people say Wale is trying 2 hard its da VMA’s he’s not gona just wear any old thing. Winner is kanye by default because he was just strolling the streets and anyone strolling the streets in LV’s always wins!!

    (BOWTIES WTF!!!! HE BUGGED)

  • tlsamson

    gotta give it to wale for creativity haha

  • anon

    how can u say you give it to ‘Ye for simplicity? Wale is on a red carpet, ‘Ye is at some random resteraunt/lobby. of course wale is gonna be overdressed on the red carpet compared to ‘Ye at lunch. like….are you blind or do you just not understand dressin up?

    A big ol bow tie was Wale’s way of saying “ive got the confidence to conform, but that doesnt mean i cant keep it original and personal anyway”

    smh @ yall

  • imazin

    how could wale be original when hes wearing
    -Ye’s Shoes
    -And doing the bowtie thing Ye started in the hiphop culture
    wales outfit looks like hes paying tribute to Kanye

  • Ramiillszx

    Wale all the way.,

    Homeboy matched the Dons, to the Bow tie to the GShock.

  • Matt

    well here we hav 2 gr8 music artists
    and my personal fav LV Don sneaker
    hmm i think both artists look fine
    but i gotta give it 2 Wale
    yes Ye is a trendsetter and so on
    but Wale definitely has a unique swag tht only he cn bust out i think
    and he does it well he doesnt look sloppy but hes not formal
    hes like dressed up over the edge
    although the bowtie is a bit 2 big…it shows Wale’s loud personality
    maybe if ye matched the outfit he’d definitely wud have killed it

    idc wat the hipsters have 2 say matching is and always will be hot!!!
    thts gr8 if u like 2 not match
    but 4 us who do DO NOT HATE!!

  • 3rd look

    The shoes themselves look better than both of them . good job “done”

  • Blak426

    I’m just putting it out there… Wale is a terrible rapper.
