“Yes We Can” shoes sell for $500

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

barackshoe1.JPGBut will anyone buy them?

The customized Barack Obama kicks by sneaker artist Van Taylor were spotted on the hip hooves of Sean Diddy Combs. The shoes were a gift from his “step son’ish” (I have no idea what that means) Quincy Brown, who is the first son of Kim Porter and R&B singer Al B Sure, as a Father’s Day Gift, according to the marketing team for the shoes. Please note that there is no implication that any of the money from the sales actually go to the Obama campaign or if the shoes are endorsed by the campaign. (I’ll ask.)

The hand-painted Obama Sneakers are priced at $500 and the canvas is a pair of Nike Air Force Ones. On side says “Yes We Can” and the other side says “Change.” But real question is how much are you willing to pay for that?

“will anyone buy them?” lol… these are a work of art, and those that want to support Obama will buy them. those who can afford it will definitely buy them. I own a pair, and I know that there is a growing waiting list for the sneakers.

And yes, some of the money goes to the Campaign
