According toreports by TheShoeGame.com, rumor has it that Kanye West is releasing his next highly anticipated sneaker, the adidas YEEZi 3 during the NBA All-Star Weekend (February 13-15). Also according to reports, the shoes are rumored to retail at $350, and while there is no word yet as to how many pairs will be released for purchase, West has said in the past that his releases with adidas will be much more accessible to the public (and also more affordable). This would be a relief as his last release with Nike, the Red Octobers (Yeezy 2) were very limited, and highly sought after.
A new images have surfaced that suggests a Kanye West and Rihanna tour is coming this year! Get excited people! While the tour is not yet confirmed, a picture has circulated on social media that advertises a Kanye x Rihanna 2015 tour. This tour has also been confirmed by a source to the LA Times’ writer Gerrick D. Kennedy. You should never get your hopes up too much, but this tour would certainly make sense as the two recently collaborated for their single ‘FourFiveSeconds‘ with Paul McCartney. Another piece of evidence is that in 2014 Rihanna auctioned off a VIP package for charity which included tickets for a 2015 Kanye West tour. Also this would not be the first time the two joined forces for a tour, as Rihanna joined Mr. West for his acclaimed Glow in the Dark Tour, not to mention the fact that the two performed together this past weekend at a Super Bowl party. Get excited and stay tuned!
