Kanye's Kicks a Hit

A few weeks ago we told you about that Kanye West had his own line of Louis Vuitton shoes coming out. Kanye also just released his new shoe collaboration with Nike called Air Yeezys.

The shoe was released Saturday at Livestock in downtown Toronto. People lined up outside of the store since Thursday (some were coming from Buffalo, New York) just to be the first to get their hands on the new kicks designed by the rapper. Livestock said that they had more people outside waiting for the shoes than they had shoes in the store.

"It's easily the biggest release we've had since we've opened," Livestock's assistant manager Hektor revealed to MuchNews. Livestock co-owner Skam explained why these sneakers are such a huge deal to sneaker freaks: "It’s basically Nike's first shoe with someone that's not an athlete."

The shoe retails for $260, but can be found on eBay for as much as $600.

Naturally, every pair of Air Yeezys flew off the shelves within minutes.

Britney <3's Canadian Designers

Britney Spears showed up to her concert after part rocking another garment by a Canadian designer.

Britney Spears' entire tour costumes were designer by Toronto twins Dan and Dean Caten, aka DSquared2. While performing in Montreal, Britney showed up to her after party wearing a coat by Montreal-based designers and childhood friends Eran Elfassy and Elisa Dahan, better known as Mackage.

Mackage's strengths lie within their outerwear and use of wool with well cut leather detailing. Their coats have great shape and clean lines. They balance the femininity of the sexiness and sleekness of their coats with the masculinity of leather and large silver or gold button detailing.

Britney isn't the only Hollywood starlet rocking Mackage's coats. Hilary Duff, Jessica Biel, Halle Berry, Kreesha Turner, and Kristen Bell have all been spotted wearing Mackage. Mackage is also a favourite of wardrobe departments and can be seen in shows such as Gossip Girl, Nip/Tuck, 24, and The Sopranos.

Mackage's coats are quality coats that will set you back a few hundred dollars or more.

Currently Mackage is selling this leather bomber jacket (below) at popular Canadian boutique Aritzia for $550.
