Who was the guy rocking the red Yeezy’s?



Let us first start off by saying it wasn’t Kanye West. Over the weekend people were going nuts once they laid eyes on the red Air Yeezy’s, but Kanye’s barber/close friend let us know the red Yeezy’s were fakes. After the net found out the Yeezy’s were fake the next question was “who was the guy rocking the red Yeezy’s?”. We now have video footage (props to HotSizzle) from the 2008 VH1 Hip-Hop Honors Garage Party, and the red Yeezy rocker is showing his Yeezy’s off in the vid. Word is the mystery guy is Fat Joe’s right hand man Macho. How is this possible? That’s a good question, but peep the vid and see for yourself.

Do you remember our Say No to Fakes Vol. 16? Check it out or view the picture after the jump, and you will see the red Yeezy’s that was spotted at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors. This leaves us all lost for words, but take a few mintues and tell us your thoughts in the comments section.

In other news, De La Soul was also interviewed in this video. David and Vincent of De La Soul were both wearing the same Dunks. Hmm! We know they leaked info about their 2009 Nike Project, and it was said that the AOI Dunks were dropping in ‘09. What about the kicks they have on in this video? We might have missed the mark on this one, but we’ve never see them before.

Thoughts?

    Dude looks like the same cat that wuz @ Fat Joe’s house when they were filming Cribs in Miami. Thats when Joe did the infamous ” sneaker lick,” on the bottom of his blanco y blanco forces. LOL

  5. Comment by DaviFknMack October 7th, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    Lol wow joe talks lots of mess bout him and his boys havin the best kicks this is not a good look at all wow all that cash and fakes damn joe help out ur boy

  7. Comment by KidRetro8 aKa SneakerFreaker06 October 7th, 2008 at 3:28 pm

    Wow! Talkin all that trash and now look at you Macho, And Joe- REAL FREINDS DONT LET FREINDS ROCK FAKES!!! .Or do neither of them know the difference. Is that why yall buy almost all yalls kicks from flight club becuase you couldnt tell a fake sneaker from a real one! This means Fat Joe may potentail have fakes in his collection,there for removing himself from the upper class of collectors in the sneakerworld. As for the De La joints, those look nice. I can always use some more red kicks! But Good Lookin G-roc, you should see if you can get an interview with Macho or Joe to explain this. But I have a feeling that couldnt even if they tried!

  8. lmao wow talk about a way to just lose all respect that you might’ve had. talking about having the sickest collection out there, well of course you MIGHT have that but you got money why wouldnt you. and now to come and think that your boy, your right hand man, the nigga that holds it while you pee is wearing fake yeezys. im done seriously. and they should be too

  9. Comment by ecargile October 7th, 2008 at 3:30 pm

    Yo thats not Maceo (Vincent) of De La with Dave. Just wanted to clear that up. Then add, a cosign for the comment about Fat Joe and his crew always saying they cant be touched in the sneaker game. LOL

  10. Comment by KidRetro8 aKa SneakerFreaker06 October 7th, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    Lol! At the ebay pic to G-roc thats probably where he got them from!

  11. Comment by KidRetro8 aKa SneakerFreaker06 October 7th, 2008 at 3:33 pm

    Lol! At the ebay pic to G-roc thats probably where he got them from!!

  12. THAT IS MACHO without a doubt. Same dude that was just not but a few weeks ago on some youtube video with fat joe talkin about how they blew a couple stacks at flightclub. THAT IS MACHO! Its a shame, cause somebody probably got him and he thought they was real unreleased yeezys.

  13. Yup that’s Macho alright. Funny Joe is “so” deep in the game but would let his boy roll out with him to an awards show with fake kicks on. Crazed! I don’t know who Vincent is but the dude that was with Dave is my homie Drew aka Drewpreme(Mighty Healthy and those dunks are just the orange horse hair gr joints which are still ill/.

  14. dass sad how he got money buh rockin fake kicks.. buh i mean he kinda famous so is it possible he got an “exclusive” from yeezy….

  15. Comment by abelinoSFV October 7th, 2008 at 4:21 pm

    Ma fuka put 70 big one’s and got these for like 50 or 60 buck’s that’s weak souce….I knew they where suspect’s that’s the real deal say no to fake’s

  16. ……….sad :-( …………

  17. You so LAME… It’s funny how this cat was stuntin’ with Fat Joe saying that dropped so much money at Flight Club, but can’t tell the difference between real and fakes. You have so much money and so many connects, but you are rocking fakes. I guess Fat Joe didn’t give you an allowance last week.

    You sir are a WANKSTA and I have no respect for you.

  18. dood looks like a clown anyways cornball hypebeast nigga talk ya self outta this one

  19. LMAO… I saw a kid on the train earlier today wearing some black and white exclusive unreleased Yeezys, they probably have the same connect

  20. I don’t think thats macho? Isn’t he a lil bigger n wear glasses? I dunno but either way, rockin fakes is already bad, but rockin on tv.. Horrible

  21. Comment by c brown October 7th, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    Thats Not Mancho but dude does roll with that….Mancho doesn’t leave the crib without his TS chain…it DOES matter if its him or not because Mancho could possiblly have connects to get the real joints….Im skeptical on the whole situation because Yeezy still has not said anything…

  22. Comment by HotSizzle October 7th, 2008 at 5:49 pm

    it could be bill gates…fake is fake

  23. Comment by Mr. King JD October 7th, 2008 at 6:01 pm

    hahaha wow thats straight up ignant

  24. Comment by David.B October 7th, 2008 at 6:02 pm

    Man who the hell knows!! YEEZY HELP US OUT!

  25. That’s definitely Macho. WTF?

  26. This is not a good look for TS. I wish G-Roc could interview Fat Joe again or someone from his camp needs to leave a comment to clear this up.

  27. Comment by sole4sole October 7th, 2008 at 6:21 pm

    why would he do that to himself? smh at celebs these days

  28. Comment by Jonathan October 7th, 2008 at 6:37 pm

    I cant believe somone at the hip hop honors was rockin fakes and when i saw the video and i saw who was rockin them i was like hold up i think thats macho but wat came to my mind after that was how did fat joe let him go wit him in fakes incredible!!!!

  29. Comment by 23edge October 7th, 2008 at 6:57 pm

    Rule number one of the sneaker bible is DO NOT WEAR FAKES… this just brings an even darker cloud on Fat Joe’s so-called heat collection. Not only was most of his collection bought because he’s rich (and not earned over time collecting), but now one of his bredren has fakes, that deserves a scew face.

    btw De La Soul I’m in hicksville, Holla back… if you got those red dunk sneakers up your sleeve for 09′ man those are just fresh

  30. WOW What a FRONT!
    Is Fat Joe’s collection fake too?

  31. man atleast he was proud of his fakes lol..he shoulda known they where fake if he knows so much about the sneaker game..those must not have a jordan bottom or somethin..or he was not payin attention lol

  32. mann its crazy to see everyone is bashing joe even tho he wasnt the one spotted wearing the fakes. Even if he does own fakes, we shouldnt turn on him until its revealed n proven…I don’t even like ts or joe but I kno if I was joe I’d be heated of people accused me of sumthen when its not even me.. Its like guilty by association type ish.. I dunno just my opinion

  33. Comment by 2legit2quitt October 7th, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    THIS SHOWS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW CELEBS AIN’T REAL SNEAKER HEADS. IF YOU CANT TELL FAKE FROM REAL YOU’RE WACK. SMH
    THIS IS PATHETIC.. KANYE SHULD SUE HIM FOR WEARING FAKES

  34. Comment by KidRetro88 aKa SneakerFreaker06 October 7th, 2008 at 8:08 pm

    MAN THAT IS MACHO, GET YOU YOUR EYES CHECKED GUYS! And it is a real sneakerheads responsability to let there boy know there rocking fakes. Any real sneakerheads like my boys Eric and SneakerNerd know I would let them make a fool of themselves with fakes and I know they would do the same for me. Plus we actuallty know kicks not like these wack guys!

  35. That definitely looks like Fat Joe’s home boy. If that’s the case, I really don’t think we should jump to conclusions and label these fakes without definitive proof.

  36. that’s fat joe’s brother macho…how he the only other person besides ye with a pair?

  37. Comment by harlemgirl23 October 7th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

    say it aint so! thats fat joes man MACHO rockin those fugazis. thats not a good look. macho and joe are pretty major in the sneaker game . i thought macho would know better than that. oh thats bad . homie has to redeem himself , explain himself , he needs to know he got fakes. who did he cop them from ? where ?! im embaressed for him !

  38. This is some FUNNY SHIT……if he’s such a sneakerhead how could he NOT know those are fakes?!?! Either they’re an exclusive or he’s on TV lookin’ really stupid right now…..

  39. that is crazy.. he just disrespected me, every single sneakerhead and fat joe.. fat joe need to slap the shit out of macho.. that is crazy.. shots out to all my sneakerheads. hit me up on myspace.com/kingbootybaby.. show ur boy some love.. macho you dont exist no more after wat you just did…

  40. Macho is always gonna be able to get exclusives. He most likely knows Ye from the industry through Fat Joe. Him and Joe stay on they kicks and I really think its nothing for them now to get shoes way b4 they DROP LOCALLY. Its a proven fact with Fat Joe, and this is his right hand man.

  41. SmH about those yeezy’s. Yo Dallas your still crazy as hell I see. Who is your camera man? He is a very busy man.

  42. I guess he figured that since he hangs with the big cats he can get away with wearing fakes since no one would suspect him to. But a bad move since they just happen to be a signature shoe of another Hip Hop artist. In this day and age of fast instant global information he should have known better. He is going to get clowned for this and will never live it down.

  43. u guys act like he killed someone smh. okay he wore fakes we get the point. lol. hype

  51. Comment by moey_matt October 8th, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    personally i dont think that the vid even matches the picture… in the pic of the fakes on shoe is ties and the other the laces are every when if you pause the vid you can see 1 the jeans are different and 2 the shoes are both tied!!!!

  52. Nooooooo say it soooooo. Macho WTF you’re suppose to represent. straight up crack head move.

  57. Comment by DAtNigGa October 9th, 2008 at 12:53 am

    First off, bottom line is this. Ya’ll going on a supposed friend to kanye his barber. I mean really get a fuckin life. Ive seen them niggas joe and macho smash everyone time and again with their sneaker game. And by the way when you juiced in with nike and also in the industry u get shit first; for example (before the fuckin idiots in chat rooms and bloggers). All im sayin is dont hate, i know for a fact macho and joe got literally a fuckin huge condo just for there shoes where they go to get right before headin out ive seen pictures of that shit. Stop hatin some day u guys if u get your game up will be able to get some hot shit too!

  58. Comment by RayDigga October 9th, 2008 at 11:56 am

    Man, this all some bullshit real talk cuz Joe and Macho never in life would wear some fake shit. They got too much money for that so c’mon stop the hating and keep it moving. I have seen these dudes in Miami with sick kicks that we will never find in stores. Nike sends them dudes shit every damn month just because. They have Jordans with TS Logo’s on them or Joe’s name etc. So if Nike does that for them without them even asking then why wouldn’t they continue to send exclusive shit to them??? I don’t hate on the dude Macho he always looks fresh to death and Joe too. So whatever man, keep the game moving and get ur game up my niggas. I sure as hell am tryin

  59. Comment by J James October 15th, 2008 at 8:43 am

    Damn yall need to get of this dudes back lol
    yeah these cats talk a lot of smack but at the same time they back it beyond belief because they have money
    Joe gets 1 of 1’s made for him all day! From Nike and Jordan brand
    its nothing for him to Get a Pair of Yeezy;s from Kanye
    yall dont be so quick to jump the gun
    & like previously mentioned De la Rocking some Nice GR Dunks

  60. Comment by SHOW OFF November 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    JOE BIN IN THE GAME … JOE COULD GET ANY KICKS HE WANTS…

  61. THAT IS DEFINITLY MACHO, JOE’S RIGHT HAND MAN, I CAN GAURANTEE YOU MY LEFT NUT HE IS NOT WEARING FAKES. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT HE IS A LEGITIMATE SNEAKERHEAD, HAS CAKE, AND ALSO A TIGHT CONNECT AT NIKE. HE’S BEEN COLLECTING FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS AND HE DEFINITELY KNOWS HIS SHOES. YOU KIDS SHOULD STOP HATING AND JUST KEEP IT MOVING.

  62. Comment by Chrisbone123 November 25th, 2008 at 12:31 pm

    I don’t get how everyone is saying how Homeboy is a legit sneaker head, and he is rocking fakes.

    A legit sneaker head would know the differnce.

    I don’t think they legit sneaker head cause I saw Joe rocking varients back when Fab was rocking faking joints ( and a host of other rappers, celebs).

    Got mad cake, got a Nike connect, got a lot of kicks, that equals a celebrity not a sneaker head.

  63. [...] Internets, Internets, Volume 23 of Say No to Fakes schools us on the fake Tony Parker Hyperdunks. Once a shoe get’s hyped up you can bet your bottom dollar that fakes will be made and eventually make their way to eBay. So, don’t get burnt on the bay thinking your getting a good deal. Take a minute or two and check out the comparison of the real Hyperdunk vs Hyperjunk. Big thanks to gswhoopz for the detailed comparison. BEWARE! [...]
