Teyana Taylor has become a style icon in a short period of time. Her style is vintage, yet current. Classy, yet edgy. Her affinity for all things retro is especially prevalent in her choice of footwear. That explains why she digs the?Reebok Kamikaze II. The dunking phenomenon, Shawn Kemp, made the shoe popular as they were often seen soaring over helpless defenders during his countless highlight dunks. The sneaker was taken to another level when they were seen on televisions worldwide when “Reign Man” rocked them as his Seattle Supersonics took on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls in the 1996 NBA Finals. On its original release, the shoe garnered mix reviews, but momentum and anticipation has built as the silohuette is set to retro in 2013.?Take a look at what TT has to say about one of her favorite shoes in the latest installment of?Teyana?s Take.
What are your memories of the Reebok Kamikaze II? Do you plan to cop when they return next year?

Reebok Kamikaze II – Black/White“The Reebok Kamikaze Wow!! Where do I start? First, I love their compatibility. I love to flip them with cargos or fatigues. When Shawn Kemp, aka The Reign Man, was rocking them with his green, yellow, and white Sonics uniforms, they came off looking mean and freakish like a ?Reign Man? dunk. My favorite colorway is definitely black ones with the white bouncing up and down the side like a graph indicator. The white and black ones with a dash of green remind me of the Dead Presidents movie when they made a plotted for that paper (money). I love that white face visual, I captured the look in my Vibe Vixen photoshoot. So, it?s ironic that, two of my favorite things remind me of one another.”
