Soulja Boy Gets A Shoe Deal, Oh Word?
Check out this vid as Soulja Boy talks about his new shoe deal. He should’ve told the designers Yahhh when they presented the samples, or even had a Shoot Out. Looks like a Greedy Genius and Bape hybrid.
Real talk, Nigo could’ve at least given Soulja Boy a Family & Friends Bapesta for all that free advertising. Limited to 24 pairs, but it’s all about Yums now…
Peep it and take it easy in the comments section!
Def not feeling the kicks, but I can’t hate on this young dude. He’s def getting to the money. If this is real, can you imagine how many of pairs he’s going to sell? He’s only 17 and is already well known across the globe.
When I saw this, I knew he was going to blow up.

I def don’t look at him as a rapper, but he makes songs people can dance too, esp the kids.
lol i love tsg. i never know what to expect. the yums are wack just like greedy genius. this is just a way to make more money so good for him. you wont catch me in a pair of yums.
STOP it I say and Beyonce was killing that Soulja Boy at her concert. Are they going to sell these in chain stores? If so the kids are going to be all over Yums. I’m good!!!!!!
First off, Soulja Boy is exactly the type of entertainer that is polluting the minds of our youth and he should not be glorified. And before you, meaning other commenters, open your mouth and start to say that, “I am hating. that dudes is getting his ‘paper’” make sure you have some intellegent facts and/or coraberating evidence to the garbage your going to try to convey. As a writer for a big hop-hop site I do know a little more about the details in which these rappers sign contracts under and sorry to break it to you but “rappers” like Soulja Boy aren’t getting top paper, they are living comfortably, the labels are the ones making all the money, that is why these rappers venture into other areas of business.
Oh and to the dude saying Greedy Genius’ are wack, your probably still on the SB craze. Real OG collectors got on SBs and got off them before most of you got in the “Sneaker Game”.
Also, if anyone is looking for any hotness hit me up on ISS, username SoleCal or hit me up on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/heatbeast
We currently are the largest importers of Nike Dunk EMBs, check us out!
Feeling this kids branding and business savvy. He’s got some smart people behind him. No comment on the kicks.

i am not gona lie, they look better than anything reebok or prokeds have been putting out. still wouldnt cop but Sbeezy do your thing! I supported this dude since day one because he never said he was the BEST rapper, he just puts out music to dance to. Cant hate on this kid. In a world where albums dont sell, he breaks the record for ringtones??? cmon he needs recognition. congrats kid. Groc beyonce looked retarded doing the superman with all that nasty weave. please someone tell her to embrace her natural hair and beauty.. gosh cant stand girls with wild weave. Kelly and Michelle look way better
nigo should smack soulja boy 4 making that song cause all the shoes in video were fake ,and pick up that new xxl with snoop on the cover and there soulja boy is in some fake ass 4’s
comin to your local swap meet and barber shop is yumz lol. yo id rather rock a pair of skecherz than theze. waz gud G
^LOL, what up Scoop!
SoleCal - You made some good points, but Soulja Boy wrote his on lyrics (of course) and made the beats, so I thought he was seeing some pretty good money. I could be wrong…
I’m with Ray^. Give the kid props, by no means is he a “lyrical artist,” but he makes fun music people can move to. He knows how to make money, and how can anyone hate on that….. The yums are def wack though.
(and I like some of the Greedy’s out there… damn, so many hatin’)
…Anyone know who makes the Yums?
These shoes are straight
but would not buy them
I think they originated in dallas texas
i see all the local rappers wearing
them with the smiley face tee lol
Introducing the next round of RBK artist bs. ha. but i couldnt see wearing these, i like skittles & all but only to eat. peace
ugly sneaks
All the kids are going to want them
Lol at Big..
Yums are as weak as the rapper lyrically.. But BGnick is right, His music is fun to dance to.
Ima pass on all Yums.
Props to Soulja for getting that bread; but I wont accept Yums in the shoe game like I don’t accept Heely’s…kiddy stuff.
make that money homie but i would not rock
pure crap
ehhh i dont know wht to say. i was kinda hoping the solid color patent leathers would’ve died off by now. im happy for soulja boy being able to come up with songs that are funny to listen to and dance to but you can only hear’em for so long until you wanna shoot yourself lol. he DEF shoulda said YAHHH instead of YUMSS because i feel like he probably coulda cooked sumthin up with bape because besides pharrell he blew those up to the public. don’t like him as an artist but he knows how to get his shit off the shelves so props for that
lol Heelys those are the dummest shoe to me.
and Yums.. no hate at ALL.. he do what he do!
but i wouldnt see myself in those.. reminds me of ‘Pro-Keds’ kind of. and yeah Nigo could of hooked him up, but noooooo…
Soulja Boy Tell Em’!
Come on Man! Stop giving this fool money. I guess fake rappers and fake sneakers go hand in hand. This guy is young stupid and ignorant and hes gonna brainwash every child from 4-13 to be the same way. Lord please help us on that day.
his music sucks same for the shoes..
assssss…..
WTF??? please:P seriously I hate this shoe:P its not even funny…
Everything reminds everyone of something. How many ways can you make a freakin shoe or remake a shoe like Nike or Reebok? At least the Yums concept came from a street kid in Dallas rather than some MBA shoe designer sittin in a highrise like all the Nikes and Reeboks.
Soulja Boy getting money with yums and his music. Realistically kids will buy those ridiculous shoes because Soulja Boy has him. But one thing about the song called I got me some Bathing Apes. Did he say that he got his Bapes from the MALL? I thought bathing ape was not wholesaling. HMMMMM. What mall did he get his Bapes from?
can’t knock his hustle, but id rather walk around in some long black socks and flip flops, real talk.
I hope everybody starts wearing these so that they can leave SB Dunks alone, lol
are you serious
YUK… i wouldnt cop…
Yo these shoes are hot along with soulja boy’s music, these are the hottest shoes out right now straight off the streets of dallas. Soulja boy aint the only one wearing em either. Bone Thugs, Lil Wayne Tum Tum Big Tuck just to name a few.
IS HE IS IN MOMS BASEMENT??
the box is funny lol
leave it to dallas to make a ugly asssss shoe
Definitely don’t see these expanding beyond the southern market..
^I’ll pick you up a few pairs in a sz 6…lol
Just let me know what colors you want
I would pay an absurd amount of money just to see what album covers were rotating on his screensaver….
cant knock him getting money..
but real talk, if these same shoes dropped..
but were backed by Bape or even Kanye endorsed..
Hypebeats will be all over these kicks..
^Word!
SMH yums? more like yuck his lyrics sucks his shoe sucks his gimmick sucks he wont be doin any of this after he turns 20 lol..be to old for the kids which his music only caters to
Wow those suck….almost as bad as his music, flow, rhymes, accent…..I’d wrap my a$$ in bacon and run thru a pack of sexually frustrated wolves before I wore these shits…..
for starters, he is ruining what is left of “hip-hop” and is a terrible excuse for a rapper, secondly, the shoes are whack how are you going to take the design from a shoe that took the design from af1? frickin ridicilious
Soulja Boy Is terrible……….Wat da hell doez he rap about??? He is PURE GARBAGE n i bet he rocks fakes……..y he in da sneaker game………We shuld b writen bout KanYe not dis wack rapper……..he garbage
i think this foo rocks fake bapes…
First he ruined the rap game, now this… And if you got all these other rappers wearing Yum’s, then why are we only seeing Soulja Boy endorsed? How can you endorse anybody that promotes fake shoes? Might as well give DJ Unk a shoe deal too. Jay-Z is my favorite rapper, but I didn’t buy me no S. Carters. Could care less who wears any shoe. I’m tired of these up and coming shoe companies jockin the AF1. Same reason I don’t wear Bape or Greedy Genius. How you steal somebody idea and charge “more” money for your shoes? WTF!?!
YAH TRICK YAH!
just felt like typin that.
THIS DUDE IS CORNY. BUT NOT AS CORNY AS THEM KICKS. I CANT SEE NOBODY (EXCEPT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES WHERE HE LIVES) ROCKIN THESE JOINTS. LET ME PUT IT LIKE THIS, I WONT BE WEARIN THESE JOINTS LOL.
I can’t hate on him. Like you said G, I wouldn’t buy them, but someone will. He’s doing the doggone thing…Whatever that doggone thing may be.
Bunch a rappers wearin em. On the http://www.yumsshoes.com they say Tum Tum,big tuck, lil wayne, scarface, bone thugs, picture of rick ross, gorilla zoe.aint gonna say i’m not gonna wear em….I gotta see em in person first. Can’t hate on Soulja boy…he just doin what every other kid in america tryen to do
His shoes are pretty damn ugly, but hey he’s making that money and getting rich and not paying attention to the negative comments. Respect. ~1~
LOL
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
yaaaaaaaah yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yaaaaaaaaaaaaah
LOL
i’ll give “S-Beezy” his props
he literally came from nothing to something
i wouldn’t rock his kicks but at least he setting a trend…I GUESS
there might be someone other than Soulja Boy and his entourage rocking these in a segment of Check My Footwork…you never know
No Comment on the kicks. But why all the hatred? Lol. He’s a young man gettin his money, lemmie see you go to Mickey Ds and start rippin on dude at the register….
I’m suprised this dude can operate myspace. please don’t buy these any1
NO ONE wants fruit roll-ups on their feet. What an Idiot. I guess fake rappers and wack sneakers go hand in hand.
