Video: Curren$y Criticizes Air Jordan Fusions
“It’s like an Air Force 1 dressing up like a Jordan for Halloween.”
The Air Jordan Fusion line has received an abundance of backlash over the past couple of years. Many have described the line in many different ways; however, New Orleans rapper Curren$y may have described the Fusions in the most comical way to date (just check out the words above). He also stated that Jordan Brand has been sending him some goodies as of late. Do you think the last package Jordan Brand sent Curren$y will literally be his last after these words?

F Fusions, JB fails everytime, just stop already. all they do is hit the clearance racks & outlets
Finally Somebody Feels How I Feel. Fusions Are Just Plain WEAK & They SUCK, Sorry Mike, but Bad Idea. If They Aint Retroes I Aint Fckn With Em, Real Shxt.
it's about time somebody with the platfom like that stepped up to the plate. hah he said dressing up as a jordan for halloween…LOL
this dude dont need to be worrying about sneakers and focus on his bars……i'd be in the lab wit my pen and pad if i got traded for lil chuckee and lil twist….lmfao……..fyi…..i rocks wit fusions……if you dont like'em dont copp'em….obviously there selling in stores so JB keeps makin them……to you dummies out there its called supply and demand!
yo word currensy…fusions are straight garbage
click the name
Fusions being whack is old news, its obvious that everyones going to agree.
Hell yea. I got the black and white 12 joints. Grass Cutters!!!!
real artists criticize bad designs.
I just like the Fusion 5 & 6 THATS IT! every other ones look ugly!
Shout to Spitta for reppin NO correctly…I echo those sentiments
listen to Spitta or wear a pair of lame fushions!!!!!
1) never heard of the guy – maybe he should express opinions if he should ever become famour or succesful
2) what qualifies him to pontificate?
You're a f*cking moron
You're a f*cking moron
What a wannabe. This guy is just repeating what people already say. To me, I think people went too far with it. I think Fusion V's are sick. The OG's started to hate, so all the folllowers came out. Anywhere you go, even NYC, you will see the HS and JH kids wearing these. STOP HATING.
He just makes me want to buy a pair of fusions. I mean not all fusions are nice but not all retros are nice either. He just wants the love from the sneaker community we gave wale. bandwaggoning with the fusion haters aint gonna get you there homie.
It kills me how these so-called rappers believe they have the fashion scene on
lock. However, it is his opinion and that’s his prerogative. He should not
be so reckless with his comments though. Why would you make a statement like that?
Especially when you are allegedly getting free shoes.

Never let someone else dictate what’s hot or not. If you like something then get it.
If not keep it moving. And all fusion aren’t bad but the price point is.
Just my opinion though. Do you.
You obviously don’t listen to his music his main platform is to no give a crap wat the next man thinks just do what makes you happy…JETS! Just Enjoy This $#!t! You really think that comment was reckless? He just said what is on everyone’s mind. The majority populous agress that Fusions are horrible. JB will make them regardless just because they’re released doesn’t mean they sell well. There are Fusions on sales racks all over the country that still won’t move out the store at 29.99 I think you have to do some homework and check out all the crap that JB has signed off on in the past 4-5 years like the “Fusion V Low Is It The Shoes?” those were an abomination just like the rest i’ve never supported Fusions for their design, and $150 dollar price tag i’d rather them direct their budgets and resources towards shoes people will buy and appreciate quit tarnishing the brand! The same goes for all those Jordan Foamposites on the way!
You are correct. I don’t listen to his music nor do I care to. Rappers are a
dime a dozen and many will be forgotten in a couple of years. Yes, I do find
his comments were reckless. Would you bad mouth your boss after giving you a
bonus check every 6 months? Of course not because it would damage your reputation
with him/her and in turn possibly stop the bonus checks. As far as doing homework
I have been into shoes since the late 80′s. Not only Jordans but other brands.
The quality of materials used in today’s retros are definitely inferior to those of the past.
Some of the fusions are in fact abominable but it’s up to a person to decide for
themselves. If he (Currency)is so about being yourself he wouldn’t have made the
statement in the first place. Fusions may not make him happy but they do make others.
Regardless of what people think there will always be a counter opinion to every situation or scenario. Shoes are no exception. Do you.
LMAO…. U Must have Fusions
I do have 1 pair. They were $40 bucks at a clearance sale at footlocker. The colorway was nice so I couldn't pass it up.
Fusions are ugly how do you mix 2 different shoes and be happy, what they gonna do next make air max – jordans…. Ridiculous!
If you wear fusions you a bamma point blank
test
Finally my comments work again..oh and btw, ALL fusions SHOULD be burned!
CURRENY LOOKS LIKE A RAPPER DRESSED UP FOR HOLLOWEEN….F-
Funny guy… Every time I’m at Footlocker someone is trying a pair on or getting them. So there’s people that like them… Gotta agree, for the price I’ll just get get a retro or something else; plus most of them are just fugly. Some people will cop anything that has their favorite label, doesn’t happen just in the shoe game.
Yea I agree fusions r ass nd dey need 2 stop makin them REAL TALK
Fusions are killing the Jordan name, I hate them, and I dont hate anything!!!!
Should have stopped after the 12s. Fusions blow. I want to drop a big steamer in the afj 13s. And oh yeah… JETS FOOL
I just seen this cat's video and he wearing fresh since 85 spizikes, don't they qualify as fusions?
wouldnt the spizikes be considered a fusion? i saw that dude rockin a pair.
The Spizikes are a hybrid, but not a fusion. The Spizikes are way better. Fusions suck.
wow. didnt even see ur comment gordonshumway
and i cut grass in the 3 fusions.
All I can say is…when the fusions hits the rack or get the price chopped even more out the Outlet stores, the less fortunate will have a chance to own or start their pair of Jordan’s with the fusions…I myself don’t own a pair of Air Force Jordan fusions, but I won’t be clowning on ppl who do. I may not be able to really tell if they hard for cash really or if they just like the fusions for how they look….or if they just brand junkies and wear the fusions cuz it has a Jordan logo, but what I’m saying is I will just hate on the design of the shoe, not the people who thought up the creativity behind it or the ppl who sport em. Say what you want it’s all good, the beauty about being human is having an opinion, whether good or bad.
I definitely agree with that. You can dislike the design of anything from houses to shoes but don’t hate on the person that finds that particular design attractive. That’s my problem with the whole fusion thing. People always talk about clowning someone with Fusions. For what? Cause you have a retro or the original shoe? That’s ridiculous. The funny thing about all of it is that the Fusions quality is 10x better than the retros that they are based on. Take a look at the recently released fusion V and compare it to the White/Red V in the countdown pack. The difference in quality is amazing.
Not all fusions are garbage. Y'all just riding O.G. Jordans too hard. It's sad reading grown ass folks arguing over a pair of Jays because they mixed a classic with a classic. Y'all need a diaper change!
And yeah, currency might of got his last package from Nike.
LOL nah their gna keep sendin him free Js…hes been dissin the fusions as long as i remember
watch his interviews
KEEFER SAID IT RIGHT, I respect you 100%
All the people jumpin' down Curren$y's neck, as if he slapped their moms and sh!tted in their cereal, are probably ALL [con]FUSION rockers!
If you don't know who Curren$y is, by NOW, it was never meant for you to know. But I know who does know… REAL Hip Hop heads, who continue to disregard all the bullsh!t on the airwaves and listen to REAL music!
If you're a Hip Hop lover, you KNOW who Curren$y is. "JETS FOO!" Pilot Talk, in stores NOW!
Thats rite forget fusions they are such a discrace to the og and retro jordans and when i saw the aqua8 and grape5 fusions my head almost went through the roof!!!
Hey Curren$y, NOBODY CARES
LMFAO!!! i bet who ever was wearing fussions felt so stupid!!! poor guy
Lem has gone PLUM-DAMN-CRAZY if he SERIOUSLY believes the "quality" of a Fusion is "10x BETTER" than a Retro and/or CDP Retro.
Someone e-smack this guy! LMAO
First of all the comment was based on the most recent Fusion V release vs. the
CDP V that released almost a couple of years ago. You can’t possibly believe
that the leather quality is better on the CDP V than it is on the Fusion V. If
so you are the one who’s PLUM CRAZY. Ha!
The comparison was based on two models in particular. The recent Fusion V and the CDP V. You can’t possibly think that the leather quality on the CDP V is better than the Fusion V. The leather on the CDP V is thin and creases way to easily. The Fusion V’s leather is tumbled and thicker. However, it does crease as well. But not as quickly as the CDP V. Read the entire comment before making comments. I do believe reading is still fundamental.
That's you're opinion and you are entitled to it. However, I bet if all of these so called rappers or entertainers were rocking the latest fusion you would break your next to get a pair. Just because they rapped about it in their song. Now that's bamma.
lol from that comment I expect you rock the lastest 'FAD'…. Smh i wouldnt wear fusions if you gave me a million dollars, for one I think Air Force Ones are the ugliest shoes every invented (never owned a pair in my life) and to mix Jordans with it is a disaster so why would I wear it cuz lil wayne said so! HAHAH I bet you have a pair of Air max Wavys too
Nopert! I don't get down with the latest fad. I wear what I like. Silvertab Levis. Girbauds and Polo shirts. Not all name brand stuff just the polo style shirt. Silvertabs because they never wear out and Girbaud brand x jeans cause the denim in great and it doesn't fade. Shoes are Jordans mostly because of the shank plate. I got bad arches.
I will give it to you about the air force 1's though. I never bought into the hype about them. I have seen some good colorways though. However, I am deeply offended about the Air Wavy comment!
I thought this was a friendly debate?! Why you gotta go below the belt? LOL!
Fusions suck ass anyways so it doesn’t even matter they should have stoped after the 5 fusions
TO ALL THE POOSEE'S WHO SUPPORT CURRENSY…..INSTEAD OF BLOGGIN ON HOW MUCH YOU LIKE HIME LIKE A BUNCH OF FAAG GROUPIESS YOU SHOULD? OF BEEN OUT BUYING? HIS ALBUM…ACCORDING TO NEILSON SOUND SCAN: Curren$y “Pilot Talk” – 10,692 (55% digital)…GO HANG YASELF!
I have to say, I enjoy reading your site. Maybe you could let me know how I can bookmark it ? Also just thought I would tell you I discovered your web site via Bing.
LMAO exactly what I was thinking…
damn yall lames must wear fusions.. smh..
yes, they DO deserve to be doused with a flammable liquid and set ablaze. I will personally take the honors of lighting the match….and there is absolutely NO flavor to the fusions. They are just using two completely OLD designs (Jordan & AF1) and doing a frankenstien job on them. Just remember how he came out and you get my drift.
