Jay-Z the hip hop singer and businessman is launching his new footwear/sneaker called the R+Evolution and the footwear is starting to appear on the ever looking internet. The R+Evolution follow a number of unsuccessful footwear partnerships that have come out in recent times and are due to make their debut in early June 09.

?á

The R+Evolution sneaker from Shaun and Rocawear resembles other footwear on the market already but have a look at the picture and judge for yourself. ItÔÇÖs a mixture of Nike and Supra and various other brands, resulting in the creation of the R+Evolution sneaker/trainer.

?á

The fashion critics haven’t jumped up with joy, the elements of the R+ can been seen on the high street already so will the rush of the youth go out and buy. Jay Z’s R+ has the “grown up” look and the branding is minimal so for those who have the cash but don’t want the flash this could be for you.

?á

R+Evolution is presented in a simple high-top silhouette with a black leather upper, hook style lacing towards the top, and an all-white sole. I like it.
