And now Chance is taking things even further by hosting his first “Open Mike” open mic event for Chicago area high school students. The open mic will take place this upcoming Monday (February 9th) at the Cassidy Theatre (The Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington), starting at 5pm. Doors open and sign-ups begin at 4:45, but be sure to get there early as this will be a can’t miss event for those who are eligible.
UPDATE: Kim Kardashian has also shared the packaging onInstagram which confirms Jerry Lorenzo’s post and the shoe’s name, the “Yeezy 750 Boost”.
Yesterday Fear of God creator Jerry Lorenzo and Ibn Jasper shared images of one Kanye West’s new adidas shoe on their Instagrams, the Yeezy Boost, a shoe which Kanye was seen wearing today at a Grammys pre-party (photo below). Now today Lorenzo has shared another image on his Instagram, this time a Just Don x Air Jordan box along side a gray square box. Given the context, given the details Lorenzo has released so far, and given the look of the shoe, it is reasonable to assume that this unidentified box is likely the Yeezy Boost packaging. Decide for yourself, but definitely stay tuned for more details.
