I’m excited - this is the first (and definitely not last) outfit breakdown here at Urban Lookout! We’re going to run down exactly what your favourite hip-hop stars are wearing while they’re out and about, doing shows, performing on TV, and everywhere else we might get a glimpse of their outfit. The first in this series will be covering none other than Kanye West who is known for his unique dressing style which moves somewhat away from traditional urban ’street’ clothing. (more…)
We have mentioned these Bape G-Shock Watches here before, but we’ve never actually posted about them. So, I took it upon myself to make a post about one now. I decided we’d be looking at the yellow version, simply because that’s my favourite (even though I own a white one) and also because it’s the one Kanye wore on the Friday Night Project in the UK. For an upcoming feature, we’ll be decoding Kanyes outfit he wore on there, so I thought it would be a good idea to write individually about each of the pieces too over time.
So, yes! The Bape G-Shock watch comes in a large varity of colours, and Kanye has probably worn all of them by now (honestly, there’s pictures floating around with him wearing pink ones, white ones, yellow ones) so you know they’re all top quality - but that’s what we’ve come to expect from Japanese urban heavyweight Bathing Ape. The watch is made of a very high quality plastic which has a very smooth feel; as you might guess, the G-Shock is shock resistant and is also water resistant.
You can pick these up online for a decent price, but beware - a lot of people are selling fakes. The easiest way to tell if you’re buying a fake or not is to see whether the text above the “G” button (which by the way illuminates the display, revealing the Bape logo in the background) says “Go! Ape” - if it does not say Go Ape, then it’s a fake. Of course, some people don’t really care if they have a fake or not, in which case is ok - but I just wanted to put that out there.
If you’re in the UK, you can grab one of these here.
If you’re in America, you can grab one for a fairly decent price (check the sellers feedback first) over at eBay.
