New Young Jeezy Kicks

Posted on Jul 23 in Headlineby adminPrint

Since hip-hop album sales aren’t doing so hot these days Young Jeezy has apparently jumped on the multi level marketing strategy used by some of his Def Jam counter parts. By the end of this year Jeezy will not only be selling a few CDs. He’ll also be selling sneakers. Of course he got duped into signing with Adiddas instead of the always has been hood favorite Nike brand.

Maybe he’s just really trying to show his support for those suffering through the recession. Maybe he’s just plum retarded. I would have to beg to differ if someone told me that kids would be lined up around store corners awaiting the arrival of Kanye West’s sneakers if they were anything other than Nikes. Look at Jay-Z and his Reebok Carter series. Exactly, you know you didn’t see anybody walkin around the hood in The Carters, or whatever the fuck they were called.

I honestly highly doubt that Jordan would have sold the amount of shoes he did if he had signed with anybody other than Nike. The only person to really sell a shoe other than a Nike was Kobe with his first series of shoes with Adiddas. But look at what happened to him. Some trick said he raped her and then all of a sudden Adiddas don’t wanna fuck with the boy.

Look who snagged him on the rebound? You guessed it, Nike!. Nike is the shit, plain and simple. If Jeezy puts out another album talking about how much dope he’s sold then I’d be willing to bet that he’ll be out of a shoe contract.
