Bun B x Greedy Genius
 Bun B of UGK earned his crown in the Southern hip hop game, but his love and respect for the underground stretches far beyond music. Bun has taken part in local events for underground film and art, but recently has also shown a lot of love to the underground brands of streetwear and sneakers. He has performed live at Alife, given shouts to The Hundreds and Grey One in his lyrics, and now he has worked with Greedy Genius on a sneaker collaboration.
From this sneak peak your eyes have probably locked on to the black and gun metal patent leather on the classic Cool Breeze silhouette. We were given this exclusive shot to share with all of you, but more photos and info will be posted shortly about this collaborative project. Also, keep your eyes out for some more collaborations that Bun B has been working on with streetwear greats listed prior. |

I am liking what I am seeing! Its been a minute since I have heard anything about Greedy Genius, but this is well worth the wait.
This is one classy looking pair of kicks.

dare I say the best Greedy Genius shoe yet? I know the “candy” paint was Bun’s idea. I just know that for a fact!
Comment by J Money — August 21, 2008 @ 6:26 am
Definitely. The Cool Breeze is the best Greedy Genius shoe ever created.

^^^ Have to agree with previous posts…I thought of Greedy Genius as just another bandwagon AF1 rip-off shoe initially but the Cool Breeze actually made me consider copping a pair (notice I said “consider”…still haven’t copped).

I must be blind I don’t see anything that’s worth going crazy for. Y’all need to calm down these shoes are UGLY!

I need more detailed pic’s of the shoe before passing any judgement. I will say that it seems that Greedy Genius has lost some of their buzz since that car commercial but hopefully this will help the brand.

PRIMETYME305 - These are “ugly,” yet I bet you have plenty of “Fusions” to boast & brag about, huh?
I don’t see where anyone is “going crazy” quite honestly. We’re not just talking about the shoes in the above photo (which are nice), but ALL of the Cool Breeze kicks created so far.
Do your research and you’ll see what we mean… but some folk can’t be saved. I rather you drown in the sea garbage being sold right now.

Sweet!
Comment by Boogie — August 21, 2008 @ 10:28 am
abelino, if anything, yourself and PRIMETYME305 are the ones that need to calm down. You two are more overly hyped at our comments than anything and they’re nothing outside of the norm.
You’re an embicile!
We aren’t just commenting on the kicks Bun B have on, but the Cool Breeze line as a whole. What part of that don’t you idiots understand?

I don’t know what’s more of a headache: these retard members or the word press error!

Darneezy ……….. you are right. This line of Greedy Genius deserves madd respect. Just let the imbeciles be.
Dare I say that Bun B gets the MOST respect in the sneaker game than all the other celebrities/hip-hop artists. I know he does from me. Not Bow Wow, not Fat Joe, not Nelly, not Jermaine Dupri, not etc …… etc …..
Does anyone remember the video of Bun B tossing a pair of autographed Cement Spiz’ikes, 2 months before their release date, into a crowd at a sneaker show he was performing at? Man, that dude has earned his stripes! While I dont necessarily dig his music, I love what he stands for.

Comment by Dee — August 21, 2008 @ 2:45 pm

Comment by pup — August 21, 2008 @ 2:48 pm
Its actualy a major disappointment… BUN B loves his J’s and then 2 see him rockin sill kicks like these….
Comment by freshazzdude — August 21, 2008 @ 4:27 pm
Don’t not what the major fuss is all about, i think the whole cool breeze line itself is great. Definitely love the black / gun metal combination. Bun B is a sneaker head, he rock all hot shoes.

Comment by Air Daniel — August 21, 2008 @ 5:52 pm
I like these.. Bun B putting it down in his city !! Putting down for the sneakers !!
Comment by Mimi — August 21, 2008 @ 11:15 pm
man i dont know how u can even say bun b is killin fat joe, or have more respect for his shoe game? fat joe has over 5000 pairs of shoes, not only does he have quantity but the quality as well.
Comment by Josh — August 21, 2008 @ 11:34 pm
by the way i still have a ton of respect for bun-b and his shoe game. what he did wit those spiz’ikes was ill. but im just sayin fat joe deserves the title
Comment by Josh — August 21, 2008 @ 11:37 pm
I wouldn’t say Bun is killin fat joe, i’d say Bun is more diverse. Bun is on top of his shoe game, that’s for sure, but Bun also be messin with the underground film and art underground brands and sneakers !!
Comment by Danny — August 22, 2008 @ 10:23 am
Agree, Bun B is more diverse.
These Greedy Genius shoes are hot. Greedy Genius be getting a lot of buzz, i see rappers jumping on their exclusives. I feel the brand.. they on top of the game
Comment by Miley — August 22, 2008 @ 4:09 pm
All the cool breeze is, is a knock off of the supra Sky top and the Greedy Genius Apache copies the jordan 5 exactly. biters
Comment by faraz — September 8, 2008 @ 11:02 pm
