Saw this today and can I just say "what a disappointment!" It's basically all the stuff that real street people wear on a daily basis but hiked up by 100% because a designer name is tied to it.
For example, the Balenciaga bag looks like something from the Philip Lim x Target collection.
The python Trimmed hat is WAY overpriced for something I can get at New Era.
And who is really buying this stuff anyway? Is it his hardcore fans from the streets? Doubtful. Is it the overpaid NYC bankers who buy boxed seats at his Barclay's Center concert? Most definitely.
Even though this collaboration is supposed to raise money for his charity, wouldn't he have been better off just asking Barney's to give money to the Shawn Carter Foundation; and in turn he could do an in-store concert or appearance?
The only thing from this that I do like are the embroidered leather boxer shorts and the Rick Owens hoodie. The rest of it will end up at a premium outlet store near you.
YES
At least Jay-Z still makes amazing affordable music. And that's all I ever wanted.
NO
No one in their right minds would even shoplift this from the store since Barney's and the NYPD have the sidewalks on Madison Ave on lockdown.
MAYBE
You're a die-hard Jay-Z fan and he can do no wrong. And your name is probably Beyonce.
