			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/leadimage2.jpg" alt="leadimage2" title="leadimage2" width="625" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-55399" /><br />
When we learned three of the biggest, best dressed pop stars of our generation were all going to appear in a video together, we excepted some glamorous, big money shit. Wouldn&#8217;t you? Instead, the <strong>Anthony Mandler</strong> helmed video for<strong> Jay-Z&#8217;s</strong> second <em><strong>Blueprint 3</strong></em> single, <strong>&#8220;Run This Town&#8221;</strong> has the trio in, what appears to be, a war torn village overrun by rebels (watch it below). There&#8217;s also no electricity, just tiki torches and lots and lots of leather. Cool&#8230;? </p>
<p>However, we&#8217;re guessing Jay had a treatment like this in his mind from the get-go, &#8217;cause guess what color everyone in the video is wearing? Yup. <a href="http://www.complex.com/blogs/2009/07/28/how-to-get-jay-zs-all-black-everything-look/">All black everything</a>! And despite their locale being completely run down, Jay-Z, Kanye and Rihanna look like they just hit the mall and threw a couple &#8216;fits in the bag. Hov and Ye&#8217;s looks may not be for everyone, but we&#8217;ve all had those nights when we wanna feel completely murdered out (black on black on black). If you&#8217;re feeling a little rough n&#8217; rugged and think you can pull it off, keep reading to see how to recreate both looks&#8230; </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The iconic Brooklyn graffiti artist has added his touch to tons of kicks over the years, including his most recent Rocawear release.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashlead.jpg" alt="stashlead" title="stashlead" width="625" height="273" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50729" /><br />
It looks like Brooklyn graffiti artist Josh &#8220;Stash&#8221; Franklin is back at the footwear game, as part of a new collaboration with some interesting characters. Ready? Philadelphia urban retailer <a href="http://www.ruvilla.com/main/" target="_blank">VILLA</a> turns 20 this year. OK, sounds good. So to commemorate this, <strong>Rocawear</strong> is making a boot for the shop. OK. Cool. <strong>Jay-Z</strong> and <strong>Udi Avashalom</strong> (Training Camp NYC) own Rocawear footwear, so this makes it their collab. Then they got Stash to write a happy birthday message on each box. OK. So it&#8217;s a three way collab between Udi, Jay-Z, and Stash.</p>
<p>The boot is cool, but definitely not the first time Stash has gotten down with the collabo-train. Hit the jump for them all, a history of Stash&#8217;s footwear collabs, and get schooled. Think you have what it takes to become the next go-to collaborator man? We know Nike is looking&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-50549"></span><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1-night-only-stash-air-force-ones-21.jpg" alt="1-night-only-stash-air-force-ones-21" title="1-night-only-stash-air-force-ones-21" width="510" height="340" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50608" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Nike Air Force 1 High (2003)</span></strong><br />
Stash&#8217;s Air Force 1 High is up there with the Supreme SB as far as &#8220;sneakers that started the second wave of sneakerhead-dom.&#8221; The O.G. pair came in a sick case, and the sneakers were re-released following Nike&#8217;s &#8220;One Night Only&#8221; celebration of the Air Force 1 in 2006. </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stash_airmaxbw.jpg" alt="stash_airmaxbw" title="stash_airmaxbw" width="625" height="338" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50703" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Nike Air Classic BW (2003)</span></strong><br />
These are sick; the start of the Stash blue on Nikes that later went on to appear on some of the most coveted collabs on the market.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashfuturaid.jpg" alt="stashfuturaid" title="stashfuturaid" width="625" height="338" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50704" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Futura x Nike iD Dunk (2005)</span></strong><br />
When Nike iD first started, there were a bunch of promo projects and hype things going on. Stash x Futura x green dunk? Not a banger, but even Jordan missed a few shots.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nike-dunk-high-premium-futura-50th-birthday-f2t-50-1.jpg" alt="nike-dunk-high-premium-futura-50th-birthday-f2t-50-1" title="nike-dunk-high-premium-futura-50th-birthday-f2t-50-1" width="625" height="446" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50595" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Nike Dunk High &#8211; Premium Futura 50th Birthday F2T-50 by Stash (2006)</span></strong><br />
When we turn 50, we hope our really cool friends will make us a sneaker. Maybe Kanye will design a Yeezy for the Complex crew (hahaha)!</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashxgravis.jpg" alt="stashxgravis" title="stashxgravis" width="625" height="398" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50720" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Gravis Comet Mid (2006)</span></strong><br />
Unfortunately, a lot of snowboarders didn&#8217;t know Stash when these came out (despite his 2004 Burton snowboard collabo). They thought the Comet LE &#8220;Stash&#8221; had something to do with weed. Betcha wish you hadn&#8217;t destroyed them at the <a href="http://www.tahoebiltmore.com/" target="_blank">Biltmore</a> now, huh? </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/air-max-95-stash.jpg" alt="air-max-95-stash" title="air-max-95-stash" width="625" height="446" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50621" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Nike Air Max 95 (2006)</span></strong><br />
These dropped at the height of NYC sneakerdom, and dudes were camped out in front of Nort like the apocalypse was coming. </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/air-force-1-low-io-premium-stash1.jpg" alt="air-force-1-low-io-premium-stash1" title="air-force-1-low-io-premium-stash1" width="625" height="446" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50624" /><br />
<blockquote><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Nike Air Force 1 (2006)</span></strong><br />
And that it did, look at <a href="http://www.freshnessmag.com/2006/03/27/stash-blue-pack-nyc-release/" target="_blank">this</a>. Pigeon Dunks what. </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nike-air-force-1-1vote-nyc-winner.jpg" alt="nike-air-force-1-1vote-nyc-winner" title="nike-air-force-1-1vote-nyc-winner" width="569" height="263" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50599" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Nike Air Force 1 Stash x Futura Special Edition (2006)</span></strong><br />
Oh friends. Super cool guys and friends of the Futura/Stash duo got their hands on a special laser and embroidered pair of the LE 1s.
</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stash_prodnikesb.jpg" alt="stash_prodnikesb" title="stash_prodnikesb" width="625" height="314" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50694" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Nike SB P-Rod (2006)</span></strong><br />
The P-Rod special edition series was done up by a crew of Nike best boys including Tinker Hatfield, Futura, Michael Hernandez and of course, Mr. Stash. </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashxnikekobe11.jpg" alt="stashxnikekobe11" title="stashxnikekobe11" width="625" height="271" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50831" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash/Nort x Nike Zoom Kobe 1 (2006)</span></strong><br />
The Stash/Nort collab was originally designed to hype the Kobe shoe, and make it &#8220;cool&#8221;. An Internet contest went down between four shops, the winning design was going to get made. Premium Goods in Houston won, but Nike went forward with the Stash sneaker anyway. Something along the lines of, &#8220;This was Kobe&#8217;s favorite.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashxvansxsimpsons.jpg" alt="stashxvansxsimpsons" title="stashxvansxsimpsons" width="625" height="340" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50723" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Vans x Simpsons (2007)</span></strong><br />
The Vans x Simpsons collaboration series was wide in scope, bringing in heavyweights like KAWS, Cartoon, Neckface, REAS and our NYC repper Stash who went in on these Skate Mids and a little Bart love. </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/nike-air-force-1-high-zf-stash1.jpg" alt="nike-air-force-1-high-zf-stash1" title="nike-air-force-1-high-zf-stash1" width="570" height="450" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50605" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Nike Air Force 1 High (2008)</span></strong><br />
The first fat caps worked so well, why not give the kids a black version? Why not indeed.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashafxpack.jpg" alt="stashafxpack" title="stashafxpack" width="625" height="219" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50711" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Nike x Stash AF-X Steel Toe Air Force 1 Mid (2008)</span></strong><br />
These came as part of a bigger survival-style pack. Get out there and bomb some trains in your $250 sneakers!</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stash_wallabee1.jpg" alt="stash_wallabee1" title="stash_wallabee1" width="598" height="322" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50604" /> </p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Concepts x Clarks Wallabee (2008)</span></strong><br />
Shhhh. These were a secret drop for a while and then popped up at Concepts. A little better marketing would have taken these and their Futura partner a bit further, but a good look for Clarks nonetheless.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/stashlacoste.jpg" alt="stashlacoste" title="stashlacoste" width="625" height="287" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50708" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Lacoste Revan-Ardeur (2008)</span></strong><br />
Lacoste needed to step up its streetwear game, so where do they look? You know where. </p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://cdn.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/jay_z_villa_americana_boot_2.jpg" alt="jay_z_villa_americana_boot" title="jay_z_villa_americana_boot" width="540" height="360" class="alignright size-full wp-image-50580" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Stash x Jay-Z x Udi Avashalom x Villa “Americana” Boot (2009)</span></strong><br />
And there you have it. All of the Stash shoes we can remember. Did we miss any? </p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/jayeezys3.jpg" alt="jayeezys3" title="jayeezys3" width="625" height="450" class="alignright size-full wp-image-30975" /><br />
The buzz around the sneaker world for the past few months has been all about <strong>Mr. West’s</strong> <a href="http://www.complex.com/SNEAKERS/Features/Air-Yeezy/Air-Yeezy-Gallery">Air Yeezy</a>, but on May 15, Jay-Z&#8217;s going to try and takeover the footwear game by releasing the first sneaker under his Rocawear label.</p>
<p>Point-and-shoot pics of this <strike>RT1</strike> &#8220;Evolution&#8221; sneaker leaked online last week, but now we have detailed shots of Big Brother’s sneakers. They&#8217;re not as flashy as the Yeezy&#8217;s, but they&#8217;re also much cheaper, clocking in at $84 a pair. How do you think Hov&#8217;s sneaker stacks up against &#8216;Ye&#8217;s? Check more pics of the Evolution, and then vote on who&#8217;s sneaker you&#8217;re feeling more after the jump.<br />

If you&#39;re looking to get your Roc Boy starter-kit on, you might want to start with this R+ &#8220;Roc Climber&#8221;, <strong>Jay-Z&#8217;s</strong> new signature boot. The new footwear sets out to encapsulate the evolution of the Rocawear Men&#39;s line, as well as to capture Hovie&#39;s &#8220;music, swagger, and lifestyle.&#8221;  </p>
<p>We&#39;re not sure about all that, but the production is quality, with the hard-bottoms being developed in Italy, and superior leather (on the black colorup) and suede (on the wheat make-up after the jump) uppers.  Check for these at key Rocawear accounts on 11/1, and look for Jigga to be rockin&#39; these throughout his press run for <em>The Blueprint 3</em>.  Get them online now, right <a href="http://www.roc-climber-store.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

<p>Jay-Z knows what he&#39;s doing. The rap mogul and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.rocawear.com">Rocawear</a> CEO had his sights on propelling the clothing line by handpicking model/actress Jaime King as the face for this fall&#39;s line. Then, just in time for fashion week, Rocawear teamed up with <i>Complex</i> for the special opening of the Roc Pop Shop at New York City&#39;s midtown sneaker emporium Training Camp. The takeover? Yep, Hov even made a special appearance at the in-store event, where <i>Complex</i> fashion director Anoma Ya Whittaker styled guests in Rocawear&#39;s fall gear. </p>
