Kayne West Archives - cars & life blog

I don’t like to compare irrelevant things between each other, such as women shoes and second hand cars. Unfortunately, designers are motivating me to compare their products with something totally irrelevant. Recently, Kayne West designed a shoe for Giuseppe Zanotti. There is nothing wrong with this, actually Kayne West is not a designer but, I don’t how he managed to became a designer.

Anyway, the shoe he designed is sold for £4145 / €4940 / $5810. And at any currency, these shoes are ridiculously expensive! The shoe designer Celine Ouaknine (Design shoes for JLo, Bebe and many other very well-known brands) mentioned on her blog about this pointless high price tag for a pair shoes.

When the price tag is so high, I immediately jump to Autotrader.co.uk to search for a car around this price tag. So, I end up with two years old Ford Mondeos, five years old BMW 3-Series, Audi A4, Mercedes C-Class and this list goes forever. All these cars are running, they have decent four-door, engine, four-wheel, many technological features. They are not pre-historic cars, you can buy and drive them happily for quite long time. And they have the same price tag with Kayne West Giuseppe Zanotti shoes! I really cannot understand why someone is willing to pay this amount of money for them. If you are fashion addicted, you may buy ten pairs of relatively cheaper models!

I know some people will say, they are unique. That’s true but it is not a reasonable fact to boost the price like this. In the end, they are not as complicated as an iPhone’s Retina Display :)

After this very scientific research, it is obvious that Kayne West Giuseppe Zanotti shoes are over-priced and do not offer any technological innovation to bear this cost :)

If you still so desperate buy one, here is the link

Here what Celine thinks about these shoes: http://theshoegirl.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/are-you-serious.html

Maybach has never been a dream car for me. Despite its state of art, technology and perfection in in every detail could not hinder the S-Class bits from my mind. In terms of sales figure, Maybach was a disaster for Mercedes, if Hollywood directors read the Maybach’s story they may make a movie based on a real story. Despite receiving low demand and overtaken by Rolls Royce, Maybach is a great car. You can see the perfect German engineering in every single detail, and it can be considered as the capabilities of Mercedes’s engineers. However, these facts don’t help to increase sales. They only help us to develop an emotional bond with the car.

Unfortunately, not everyone feel the same like me! Last week, American Rappers Jay-Z and Kayne West released a new video clip called Otis. In terms of music, they great talents! However I first read the title of the video clip, I didn’t dare to watch it. Usually this type of video clips; there are many girls, lots of money, champagnes, luxury cars, luxury house and etc (Reference, 1st video). Nothing really different or original. I think they thought the same and decided to boost the creativity with this video by destroying a Maybach.

Yes, dear Jay-Z and Kayne West destroyed a Maybach on their latest video clip. I wish they destroyed the car and finished the video, but they didn’t do this! Instead, they made it worse. Extremely worst, honestly they made the worst and the most expensive car on planet. They pushed their creativity into boundaries and decided to replace the front engine bonnet with the rear boot, cut the doors, cut the roof also, probably removed the catalytic converter to boost flames from exhaust, and covered fenders with shiny metals. They didn’t finish here, lastly they placed something on the boot which completed the scenery. These unidentified things remind me the Enterprise from Star Trek.

Overall, I gave ZERO to Star Trek inspired cabrio Maybach. Creativity, ZERO! Originality, ZERO! Aesthetic, ZERO! Jay-Z and Kayne West are great artist but they should focus on music not on car design :( After this video clip, I started to love Maybach more.

In the end, we realised you have lots of money! Jay-Z and Kayne West promoted their video really well on social media, well done ;)
