Stepped on my J'z - Nelly

True hip-hop people know that hip-hop is much more than a song, it's a way of living.
Chances are if you scoffed at that statement, you're one of the ones that think it's just a song.
From the way we talk to the way we dress and the things we do, hip-hop is definitely an exclusive culture that only people who look beyond a 16 bar verse will understand.
When it comes to style, hip-hop is just like the rest of the world with ever changing trends and a few key items that no matter how many years pass, they will still be considered classic.

Case in point, Jordan.

If you weren't that person you know that person that would camp outside their respective shoe stores ready to drop their Jordan fund savings on whatever shoe was coming out. Some people buy to collect others because it's the thing to do, but Jordan is one brand that you just can't shake.

I'm sure someone is confused, because I generally stick to music on blog, but when I saw this Jordan that was released October 2, it was kind of historic.

If you haven't heard by now, Jordan teamed up with Va$htie Kola so she could create her own Jordan (kind of cool right?), the historic part, she's the first woman to design a sneaker for the brand (#ill).

Some of you may know her as the ex-girlfriend of Pharrell Williams, creator of the clothing line Violette, director for the likes of Solange, Justin Bieber, Jaheim and a crapload of others, or the former director of creative services at Island Def Jam, Va$htie is a woman of many hats and great style.

We all know women in hip-hop are still fighting for their equal leverage, so the opportunity for Va$htie to design a sneaker for Jordan is beyond amazing.

On that same note, Levi Maestro has been doing his thing on the web series front for quite some time and in the season finale of MaestroKnows he and Va$htie hit the streets with the (then) unreleased Jordan to get some reactions, he also talks to Va$htie about her feelings on the shoe.
